November Skies in Central Florida
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.

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 Bright Change In The Sky
Here in Florida we’re known for our sunny days with blue skies. Even if rain moves in, it often clears quickly and the sky is blue. A couple of weeks ago we had rain starting late afternoon and off and on all night. I heard thunder. I was just happy my plants were being watered.

Last Amaryllis on a Spring Day
I live in Central Florida, growing zone 9B which is semi-tropical. Amaryllis is a subtropical bulb that belongs to the Amaryllidaceae family and is native to South Africa. It is grown as a potted plant in most parts of the United States but can also be grown outdoors year round in warm areas like Florida. Amaryllis sold at Christmas are FORCED bulbs.
Last weekend I went outside in the front yard on a wonderful spring day. There was a breeze with blue skies and wispy clouds.

Blue Skies At Home
Since Hurricane Ian cut his way through Florida, we’ve had beautiful blue skies, less humidity, and no rain. For several days we even had highs in the 70’s. It felt like winter. I always say the change from the wet season to the dry season is like a switch is flipped. Today’s photos are beautiful views of blue skies from my yard here in central Florida. Enjoy!
