Cold

Monday and Tuesday were cold and rainy. Wednesday was cold (40’s)and sunny. They’re talking about freezing temperature overnight.
We’ve been driving around and getting a little bit familiar with the area. We now know where there are 3 grocery stores, Target, Lowes, and a car wash. We also found a couple streets we’d rather avoid in the future.
We got an annual parking pass for the Island and because Bob’s car is lower than most we were instructed to hug the driver’s side of the lane so the beam to read the pass (on the passenger window) is at it’s widest. It worked!!
I spent some time sewing (I can’t have the heater and iron plugged into the surge protector at the same time) and Bob worked on his stained glass- There was room and it worked pretty well,. We just have to put everything else away before and we can’t leave any craft stuff out after. We’re getting better at camper life.

Despite the cold there are wild flowers on the causeway (6 miles) to Jekyll. This is apparently yard cleanup time. There’s piles of branches and yard rakings by the road everywhere. The paper had an ad for pansies for your winter yard, and we saw people planting some. This is the winter we heard about – it sure is pleasant.
