Wednesday in The Condo Grounds

Our dry season here in Central Florida is coming to an end. We’d not had rain for a while until a nice wet front moved in from the west. It had originally come from Texas across the Gulf coast to Florida. We had rain late Friday, some again on Saturday, and finally on Sunday. Everything green is smiling.

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.

When you drive around Lakeland, you pass lots of lakes. The City of Lakeland says that there are a total of 38 named lakes within City limits as well as numerous smaller lakes.

Today I’m sharing a few photos of another lake I passed in my drives.

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.
