Our Florida "Snow"



Finally the mercury dropped low enough for our boys to enjoy an icicle tree! They look forward to this every winter and most winters we only get one shot because it rarely gets cold enough. So, we watch the weather very closely to make sure we don't miss our chance. This is something we have been doing for our children for the last 20-something years and they all have loved it!


Brandon is tasting an icicle. He ate so much ice he came inside with a stomachache. Bryce is still asleep I think : )



Today, I let the boys play outside in the ice before it melted so we got a really late start on school. We had a short school day as I have found my little ones get really sluggish in the afternoons. That is the great part about home schooling. We make it work with our schedule.

I hope my sunflowers make it. They got the mist off of the water we hooked up in the oak tree.




After listening to the weather report tonight we may be able to have our icicle tree again tomorrow morning. It is as close as we are going to get to snow here in Florida. We better get out there and get the water going!
