November brought the beginning of the best time of the year here in Central Florida. It’s a pleasant 70 degrees F when I go outside at 8 am. Most days are intense blue skies with puffy white clouds. We’re officially winding down the hurricane season, but I still pay attention to the weather to know what’s happening. We’re expecting a cooler front to come from the north this next week. I don’t mind. Most of you who live in 4 season areas would think our cooler weather is a laugh.

Trees & Sky Views in September
Hurricane Helene is forecast to land in the big bend of Florida (the curve in the shape of the state) Thursday evening which is today. I’m writing this on Wednesday. Since my move to a more central location in the state, I no longer worry about being where the storms land. I will get wind and rain but less fierce, and my county is under a tropical storm warning. The worse that can happen is possible loss of power for a while, but I don’t really expect that to happen either.

A Walk By Lake Parker
Today I’m sharing a few photos from a walk around the condo complex on Lake Parker. It’s the end of August, and here in central Florida, it is hot. We have afternoon showers most days as it is the rainy season. Hopefully, we won’t have a bad hurricane this fall. The next two months are really the height of hurricane season due to the heat build up on the ocean.

A Walk To The Lake
I must say I am very tired. I am also bruised. Yes, I am still surrounded by boxes. I don’t mind taking my time unpacking, but I still don’t have my basic cooking equipment unpacked. I am using one large frying pan for everything. I have to find some pots today. Don’t ask me why, but I am craving potato salad, my potato salad not a grocery store’s salad.
Today’s photos were taken during a walk to the lake next to the condos. I hope you enjoy them. First is a view of the courtyard.
