Cold Weather – Eskildoodle Photos and Feelings

Cold Weather Companions

They showed up in February just before the really cold (for central Florida) weather hit. Now it is warmer and they are nowhere to be seen. Next week more cold weather will return, but will the goldfinch? #goldfinch #coldweather

Bloomin’ Weather

The freezing temperatures departed last week and now the lanai is the perfect place for these tulips to bloom and grow. Let’s hope the mild weather continues, and that Mother Nature smiles upon these blossoms as much as we have. #tulips #coldweather #blooms

Refugee

We moved the plumeria in a pot into the house to protect it from freezing weather. One morning we discovered a head peering from the white PVC pipe that helped brace the plant. Not only the plant, but also the lizard had taken refuge from the cold much to our amusement. #lizard #plumeria #coldweather

In some dusty old book on the shelf there is the formula: pV=nRT which can be manipulatedContinue reading “Pressure, Temperature, and Volume”

Sunset on Hurricane Season

The glowing, red sunset was a delight to see even though it marked the end of our mild autumn weather. Summer skies are giving way to winter-like cloud patterns. In a couple of days temperatures will drop the 30’s after a cold front passes through. No, snow is not in our future but, thankfully, neitherContinue reading “Sunset on Hurricane Season”

Here Today, Gone Tomorrow

During the recent cold spell, the bird food seemed to melt away, even in the freezing weather. It had been filled just the day before and by the next afternoon, it was nearly all gone. I have heard that birds need a lot of food to fuel their feathery furnaces just to keep from freezingContinue reading “Here Today, Gone Tomorrow”
