What a difference a few latitude lines make!

I'm way up here in the capital region of NY.
One of my daughters is in Orlando Florida.
(She had to go there for work and sent me these photos from her cellphone Tuesday morning).
*Both places are beautiful in their own way.
*Find loveliness wherever you are.
...even if it's in a daydream of Orlando... *
*Miss you Rachael ~ Wish we were there*
We're still enjoying the warm Valentine Days of February
Dear Family & Friends,
I hope you're having a wonderful week!

Hello, dear friend,
ReplyDeleteI have been watching the news about all the snowfall you folks up northeast have been getting. I think the snow is very beautiful! We get very little here in Central Texas, but we have had an unusually cold winter for us! Florida is looking good to me, too! Enjoy that chocolate dipped fruit, yummy! I hope you are having a good week! Vicki
Hi Maria, I'll have photos similar to yours and Rachael's by tomorrow afternoon - I'm flying from snowy CO to Sarasota, FL.
ReplyDeleteNo doubt, the snow is lovely. BUT...the palm trees look a sight prettier right now! Spring is just around the proverbial corner, yes?
ReplyDeleteAh Maria, I love your grateful, contented heart. I won't tell you that it was sunny and in the 60's here today. Instead I'll just say if you want a bit of warmth and sunshine - come visit!
ReplyDeleteThe funny thing about our weather is - there was ice on the birdbath yesterday morning! It changes so quickly!
Thats what I have been doing today...dipping strawberries in chocolate! It is amazing how the weather differs..here, the elevation drops to the south of us and it can go from 35* to 50* in St. George...amazing! Come say hi :D
ReplyDeleteNow, which would I rather have, sun or snow? But then on the other hand...dipped strawberries in chocolate? Oh, I want them all..
ReplyDeleteOooo I love your new look Maria, very nice. Kinda funny, my daughter is going on a business trip to Palm Springs, Ca. this weekend. I told her I was so happy for her. Then I told her I was just plain old jealous!!!
ReplyDeleteLove Di
I love that you dipped fruit with chocolate... looks yummy and warm. I've been sending rachie pix from here every morning in response to her nice and sunny pics from FL. hehe. It's been a real blast! Love you mom
ReplyDeleteYou're right. It really is beautiful both places. But I think I'd like to be in Florida for a few days!
ReplyDeleteWow....that is crazy. I wish I could just figure our weather out. Ours is so crazy this year too..poor poor Olympics..by the weekend it is going to hit 16c..spring like weather for sure. Hope your week is going well. xoxoxo
ReplyDeleteOh!
ReplyDeleteHave you made any SNOW ICECREAM?
I grew up making snow icecream.
Chocolate dipped strawberries sound divine!!
Delighted you are still celebrating the LOVELY Holiday of Valentine's!!
xxooxx
Hey Maria,
ReplyDeleteLove it that you guys are still enjoying Valentine's. The pictures make me want to go OFF my "healthy eating plan." Not that fruit and dark chocolate are unhealthy, mind you. It's just that once I start I wouldn't be able to stop. Enjoy your break.
Sweet blessings,
D.
Your posts always evoke such warm and friendly feelings(a calm energy). You chose the perfect name for it, Maria!
ReplyDeleteBeautiful winter scenes and collage.
ReplyDeleteWe don't have winter.
Regards Maria.
Belated Happy Heart's Day.
ReplyDeleteisnt it amazing!!!! we were in florida last month and wow....drove into our driveway to find SEVERAL FEET of snow. !!
ReplyDeleteGod is a creative God and a God of diversity...hmmm...i think i am gonna have to write a post on that. ;) xo
Loveliest post, Maria! Beautiful pictures, those colors... Over here we had a little bit of everything today, snow, wind and a bit of sun at the end of the day.
ReplyDeleteEnjoy!
Saskia

ReplyDeletehaven't seen any snow in Athens(Greece) this year...it's not even as cold as last year
Sweet Sweet Maria...
ReplyDeleteHow can you be so sweet?
Popped on to my blog to take a peek before bed...and there you were sending me sweet thoughts for tomorrow!
I thank you...
Oh how blessed I am to know such sweetness.
Thank you my friend.
love, Teresa
xxooxx
Oh yes, a couple steps east/west north/south can make all the difference.
ReplyDeleteHope you are finding some fun things to amuse yourself with while waiting for spring.
Hi mom! That's so funny - I can't believe how much snow you all have gotten! I love that picture of the bench =).
ReplyDeleteEven though I miss you guys, I'm glad I'm still in Florida for the time being!!

My daughter lives in Orlando. I have to hear about this weather all the time:) She thinks it is cold there (it is colder than usual) and I keep reminding her of home!
ReplyDeleteSue
enjoy your winter collage, cold and beatiful ;)
ReplyDeleteHa! Yes, Florida is lovely but New York is beautiful! :)
ReplyDeleteYes both are beautiful Nice job on these pics!
ReplyDeleteThe devil is in the details, even in longitude and latitude. Your photos look much like the scene outside my window even now, nearly a week later.
ReplyDeleteWhile both the places look beautiful, there's a wide contrast between the feel and weather...
ReplyDeleteAwesome comparative pics...
