Cold Weather in Florida

Yesterday only reached 49 here, and it fell into the 20s and 30s in the area last night. To those of us from the hearty north this is not such a freeze as it seems to be to the locals. The news was full of advice for bundling kids up to go to school and covering plants. More serious was the strawberry and orange growers trying to protect their crops. 

When the temperatures get so cold, the manatees seek warmer water. There is a canal in Satellite Beach where they seek shelter. We stopped by there this morning and took a few pictures of the manatees in the canal.

Here is Gary looking over the canal. Louise went to her knitting group in Eau Gallie and met up with knitting friends she hasn't seen since last March.
