Snow, Florida Style



Some of our friends up north can't understand why we would go to Florida and, heaven forbid, live there all year. "Don't you miss the change of seasons?" they say. Well, we have our change of seasons, too, but the changes are more subtle than falling leaves and the onset of sleet storms.

In fact, we have our own version of snow in the form of "Mexican Clover," now blanketing lawns that aren't treated with herbicides. Alas, there has been on occasion a question sent to the local newspaper's plant guru, along the lines of "What are the disgusting lavender flowers that are cropping up in our yard, and how can we get rid of them?"

Dutifully, the guru outlines an eradication plan. As for us, we prefer to go natural.
