Winter returns

Winter is returning to Florida. By Thursday we will be in the freezing zone again and I can feel it in the air this morning.

When I went to Publix yesterday, out front they had the most huge tomato plants in pots that I have ever seen. There were little green tomatoes everywhere, but the price, whew, a whopping $14.00. That buys a lot of nice ripe tomatoes, especially for one person. I'll buy a small seedling or two a few days after Thursday when it warms up again. And a couple pepper plants...and maybe an eggplant.

I went to our monthly writers' meeting yesterday. The speaker was Rebecca Heflin  , a writer of romance novels living right here in Gainesville. She gave a great presentation and a complete handout of her talk, helpful for a writer of any genre. Romance writing is not my thing, makes me uncomfortable, but I still enjoyed the event.

until next time...c
