This morning we woke up to 31 degrees Fahrenheit. In Florida, we love it when the cool weather rolls in especially after a particularly oppressive summer but this morning it was cold, it was so cold we actually had a freeze warning last night and I had to cover one of our new bushes in the backyard to make sure it would survive.

It was funny when I look over at it this morning to see steam coming off the blankets we used to cover it. That tells me that the blankets did their job.

On a day as cold as today, we won’t go outside for our walks, I’ve worn my fuzzy socks and pants all-day and I even threw on my cozy Ugg boots to keep my feet warm. Later this evening after we have dinner I’m planning on making us some hot cocoa with marshmallows while we cozy up underneath the blankets to watch some television.

While we were at the football game yesterday it was even chilly enough for me to wear my knit cap and fuzzy gloves, to me, it always feels weird wearing things like that in Florida, where in a week’s time I will probably be back in T-shirts and flip flops. I was so cold last night I even doubled up on blankets, again unheard of in Florida.

Even though it might have been a little too chilly for me last night I would 100% still choose this over triple-digit heat index in the summertime.
