Seashells by the seashore

Welcome to the tropics … NOT

Ah, Florida …. palm trees and hibiscus, sandy beaches and below-freezing temps. HUH??? Yeppers, tonight we’re expecting the thermometer to plummet down to 18 degrees. In Florida. OK, admittedly this is north-central Florida and the occasional winter day in the 20s isn’t that uncommon (and we have more live oaks and azaleas than palms trees and hibiscus ;D). But still …. 18 is beyond the pale. Sucks. Everyone is running around like a maniac covering up tender plants … including me, the genius who thought a winter container garden was a great idea. Iced tomatoes on a stick, anyone? Well, in a few more months we’ll be bitching to high heaven about the heat and humidity, so until then, time to layer up and liquor up!

I Has a Blog! Whoohoo!

Haven’t posted anything in FOUR MONTHS …. I completely forgot I even HAD a blog until my LOLfren Janet said, “Hey, ur blog is MT,” and I’m thinking, “Holy crap, I has a blog!” Know why? Well, I’ll tell ya …. ‘cos I’m always over at sketchfu.com, my home away from home. NO, make that my home …. the home is where I freshen up before I head back to sketchfu! Having art back in my life, and having made great friends there, has brought major joy back into my life. And I can thank I Can Has Cheezburger for it … they had posted a link to it back in July and I checked it out just out of curiosity …. one look, and I was hooked, and there’s been no turning back. So I’ve neglected my LOLfrenz at ICHC but some of them do pop over to FU now and then … Gladys and SillyGram and Annie and Cara. Thank you, Cheez, for giving me the FU … Luv ya for it!
