WINTER

Winter is Florida brings relief from the heat and humidity, EVENTUALLY! Telltale signs are a few bright leaves hidden in tree branches, thermometers that fluctuate 20+ degrees from day to night, and suddenly an abundance of new visitors to my refuge.

Cooler weather also means it is finally time to work outside, plant a winter garden, and execute the design changes you chaffed about doing while the summer heat and rain kept you indoors. Another pleasure is to watch nature preparing for the coming spring!
