As most of you know Florida has had some very cold weather in the last few weeks. The farmers have had to work endlessly to keep their crops from freezing. They keep the sprinklers on all night to coat the trees and plants with ice and that prevents them from the frost. The oranges and strawberries made it through the cold weather but my grass and bushes did not. I hope they come back in the with the warm weather.
But the cold weather also bring a delightful sight!! The manatees!! They come close to the shore to get warm when the water temperature drops below 68 degrees. Take a look at some beautiful manatees.

Today on the news, they said that this year we have had the biggest sighting of Manatees ever. Over 300 and still counting.
If you would like to watch the Manatees for yourself. Go to this website http://www.tampaelectric.com/manatee/funstuff/webcam/It is a web cam at Teco Power Plant's Manatee Visitor's Center.
You have to be patience and watch for a few minutes and you may see a nose, a tail
or even a whole head peeking out of the water.
The rest of the website is very interesting too.
Enjoy the Manatees of Florida
