So much for hoping for a chilly winter. We’ve had some days here and there, but here in Florida we usually don’t see our coldest temperatures until January and February. And even then…
It’s not always that I hope for a cold Florida winter; lately though I’ve been craving seasons. I want more of those fall colors, more of the chill misty mornings that northerners know so well. I crave damp cool air where my breath leaves my body in little white puffs.
But hey it’s Florida and I should at least be thankful that I don’t have to deal with snow.
So what does a Florida girl do when it’s warm out merely 2 days after Christmas?
Garden work!
I went out and bought myself some new herbs and flowers, and I’ll be damned if I didn’t use the lovely warm weather to clean up and reconstruct what used to be my herb spiral.
It is a medicine wheel now. 🙂 I cleaned and prepped the bed and soil about a week beforehand, and my new little herb corner should do lovely!
That’s how Florida natives roll. We’re either decorating palm trees for Christmas or working in our gardens in December!
Happy Holidays!
