Didn't we mention that there's a warning label on the visor asking drivers to please ~not~ exceed 30mph when the chick-on-roof option is activated?
*laughing*
Yeah - I think I posted her a few months ago, and I don't think anyone's fed her since :~D
Oh... and the boat show is this weekend.
~snicker~
Evenin' Bear.
Course I do think we have to keep her weight down if we're gonna put her on the roof like that.
That's OK, there's an automatic alarm that activates if you go too fast or turn too sharp.
[bam bam bam]
That's just ~wrong~.
hehehe...
I keep trying to come up with a safe way to say "you shouldn't mount a babe on the hood of a Jeep", but I just can't do it.
She'll block the view :~D
That girl has never in her short little life ever been in four wheel drive. :-)
BWAHAHAA!
You're going Dwarvish, chica!
You could just say that there's laws against that sorta thing. ;-)
A few hours of frost turn the oranges orange naturally, without dyeing it! A prolonged frost will kill the fruit (it drops off the trees!) An extensive frost below 20 will kill the trees, which then need to be replanted, or, if in an area of growing population, the groves will be developed for housing.
Until the frost of 1895 the citrus belt centered around Ocala. From then until the frost of 1985 it was centered around Orlando (the Citrus Tower in Clermont used to be totally surrounded by fruit trees, now it has been suburbanized!) Now the citrus is growing south by Sebring, and near the coast. In just over a hundred years commercial citrus growing has moved almost 150 miles south of where it was.
That's really interesting. Never heard that.
Jeez. I have lived here almost my whole life and did not know any of that.
Sadly, Miami is just so far removed from anything resembling farmland that there isn't the opportunity to learn that stuff growing up.
I do remember when we had plenty of U-Picks to choose from within a 10 mile radius. Strawberries were my favorite!
Not one left. All developed now. :-(
But you can grow lemons or even limes down there, up here they are strictly houseplants! Might as well try to grow a coconut palm!
Not even that. They came and cut down every citrus plant/tree in most of the county the year before last. Citris canker scare, they said.
Can't buy a replacement either, so my mom bought a mango sapling. It should bear some fruit this year!
I won't discuss my beloved avocado tree. That durned Katrina!
Oh! And speaking of coconut palms...
Hair? Do you have the pic handy of the one you brought home from Entmoot? :-D
Did anything ever come of that? I can't recall.
