This evening it is raining, and I guess we are now officially experiencing our 22nd fall in Florida, welcome to all who dare to come!
The temperatures have gone way down, right this minute it is a rain cooled 77!
To be fair we did stay in the low 90's most of today, although I did not miss my chance to swim in a chilly 87 degree pool.
Of course I'm kidding; it really was just delightful as usual.
How soon we do forget swimming in the Atlantic Ocean off of the Jersey Shore in mid summer as children and young adults, when the water temperature was a balmy 70, if lucky!
But even there the air temperature could climb to 90 or beyond in late summer; that is, and we used to say how refreshing those contrasted temperatures were.
Now it would just seem frosty to my Florida thin-skin without any blood, since these last 22 years that we have adapted to warmth and moisture in all forms.
After the fall and when the Hurricane Season ends on November 30th, still don’t know how it knows how to stop right on that day; anyway then we go into our Dry Season.
Who says Florida doesn’t have seasons!
This just in: Our veggie garden is getting too much moisture, and being inundated with massive rain drops, and is floating away!
Sad as this seems to me... with all that is going on in the world this is a minuscule detail for us that we can fix, and we will!
The best part of this rainfall is... that it is not a hurricane or even a tropical storm; just generic rain. That realization means a lot in this neck of the woods as you can well imagine.
The world of Wall Street is still in upheaval; hopefully the powers that be will do something or have already have, who knows. We can only pray at this point that somebody does!
Barrels of Petrol have gone up again, big surprise there.
Yankee Stadium has been retired and will be replaced next spring with a younger version of itself, seems even inanimate objects have to suffer age discrimination!
Personally I do have a Yankee Stadium connection, at the age of ten way back in 1960, I got to see a game played there due to me being a member of my Ridge Ranch Elementary Schools fifth grade Safety Patrol. The next summer I had the privilege of going to Penner's Lake Day Camp in Upper Saddle River NJ where Roger Maris and Moose Scarron had their baseball camp. Both of their sons road the camp bus with me and I led the songs all the way home! Roger Maris broke a record I think that year; a little known fact (LOL); of 61 home runs!
Good night to all and to all stay dry!
Speaking My Mind is about: Tobi, who is a middle aged, no, oh all right a slightly over the hill woman with all the imperfections that go with that, and this concerns her daily life's perceptions and experiences.
