A Day of Puffy Clouds

Carol 11 Comments

I’d like to thank all my readers who sent messages of concern last week when the hurricane blew by Florida. I sincerely appreciate your support. As expected here in central Florida away from the coast, we had a tropical storm warning (not a hurricane warning), rain, and wind. Yes, other areas were not so lucky. Tampa had extensive flooding and property destruction.

The next day was a regular sunny day with blue skies and puffy white clouds. I hope you enjoy the beautiful day I’m sharing. I wish you all beautiful days where you live.

Florida is known as the sunshine state. Blue skies with varying amounts of clouds is our norm. We have a dry season which is late fall and winter. Our wet season starts in May ususally and lasts all summer. Based on 51 years of data from 48 weather stations here, the average weather station in the state has 252 days during the year in which there is no rain, or 69 percent of the year.

Sunset on the Balcony

Carol 17 Comments

I’ve been absent from the blog for the last 4 days as I had my nephew, James, and his wife, Heather, visiting. It was such fun. We talked, went for a ride, went out for dinner Sunday evening. They were very sweet, and they cooked for me, cleaned up the kitchen, and even made the bed before they left. Saturday they had me sit while they brought each box left on the balcony and emptied it. I told them where to put the items and now have a clean balcony. They love the condo, and I reminded them, my will leaves it to them.
