A year or two ago, my 8th grade English teacher required the entire class to do individual blogs. This blog is a continuance of that assignment.

What the heck happened to the cold O.O?
It was like 90F/32C here today O.O That's summer temps. But this is also Florida and the winter comes in slowly, in waves. Once the process starts, it almost never stops until Spring. But I was so hoping for the cold weather. Florida in the winter is dark green. Maybe some trees have lost their leaves, but for the most part, everything remains green. We do have tiny white flowers that grow in large blankets in the grass and they could be mistook for frost at a casual glance. There is also a scrub tree that blossoms this time of year, and it's flowers are tiny and white and frost like from a distance. I'll try to take some pics of them if I remember. We don't have the normal color change here either. No flaming trees of red and orange and yellow. No mounds of leaves either. Trees that do drop their leaves simply go from green to brown to bare. Instead, we have flowers and bushes that bloom in yellows and violets and blues and oranges and reds. We have entire trees that are covered with blossoms. We have bougainvilleas who's leaves change from green to red and become the flowers for the bush. We're also a way station for the migrating birds and their colors.
