Addy!! You are "early birdie" from down south!! It is not yet even 5 am here right now, I think Mitch is probally still fast asleep, having a nightmare about two feet of ice and his senser thingy stuck it it! ha ha ha!!

lol,......you just had to add that beach walk part in there...?

Mitch, in the bright side, spring is suposed to come early for us, according to our groundhog and enviorment Canada .... :

I think what made it worse Colleen, was that warm week we had, only to be put back into this cold snap.

 

[addy1]

Beautiful, sunny, 75ish temp, gentle wind blowing................should I say more?
3/4 in of ice all over everything at home, some of our trees came down.............oh well.

The only thing that sucks is we have to stop walking on the beach, too many man of wars, lil missy is getting stung even with us guiding her around them. The tentacles stay poisonous hours after the sail disappears, you just can't avoid them when there are thousands.
So we will be walking the side walk looking at the ocean until the man of war season is over.

Hopefully the Man of War goes away soon so little Missy can enjoy the beach again!

Sun is sure shinning bright and dispite the cold tempertures, it still felt good to be outside. I trimmed some of the crab apples branches away from the pond and threw them out front so the deer can eat them. The crabapple tree out front is really big and still has apples up high, but those branches had to go cause the apples are all dropping in the ponds. The deer have been comming almost every day out front and they cleaned all the billions of little frozen apples that fell all over the front grass last fall.

They say it lasts a month or so, depends on the winds. Not worth harming her to walk in the sand. So sidewalk it is

 

[MitchM]

That sounds pretty neat - man-o-war jellyfish on the beach!
I would probably spend hours there!

Yep that would be ok to explore them but not for the little pup for sure. They are kinda pretty and strange looking things.

They are beautiful, you can get great photos. The sails shrink up really fast once the sun hits them. The tentacles fall off, dry off and can still sting you for a few hours plus later. The sail part becomes a blob, the tentacles can stretch out for many feet around them.

There is tons of seed weed washing in right now, it is fun to go through it see what you can find, sea horses, sand dollars etc. But a ton of dead dried up man of wars, that sting like crazy.

 

[j.w]

I will remember this info on the jellies and steer clear if ever down on those Florida beaches. Don't need to get stung and ruin a nice trip. How long does the sting last on a human?

Bleeping Cold & windy too!! Weather sucks here Mitch, Ponds only have small breather holes .... never saw such small breather holes for a long time!! I only used the 1250 watt heater last night cause never knew it was going to be THAT Friggen cold!! It was minus 39 with the wind chill last night and some stuff in my greenhouse froze again... when this freezing thing is done then I well see what made it... Some stuff will be OK cause they are pretty tough and can take a little freezing and still recover by spring, but the Jade plants look like toast!!!
