It’s Orchid Time Again

Carol 14 Comments

Here in the USA, it’s Thanksgiving tomorrow. I’d like to thank you for your friendship in the last year. Your dropping by is always appreciated. Today I just want to say thank you and share the beautiful orchids my friend Beverly grows. Beverly lives in south Florida and has a tropical garden. I’m thankful for her generosity in sharing the photos, and I hope you enjoy them.

Now I’ll end with a beautiful sunset.

November Skies in Central Florida

Carol 27 Comments

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 Day of Puffy Clouds

Carol 14 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.

Trees & Sky Views in September

Carol 29 Comments

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

Carol 16 Comments

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.
