It is not quite six P.M. and yet it is extremely dark out already due to clouds, rain and wind coming in; as shown from my back window... OOPS; It's HERE!
This is our afternoon/nightly event when it's August in Southwest Florida, but fortunately it doesn't last that long, although the rain has been mounting in accumulations... as much as two to three inches daily...
And so areas south of us are flooding, but so far not us!
To me and most people this is much better than any hurricanes, thankfully, so far so good in that arena and the flooding is not that devastating, only a few streets and yards, but not into homes only a couple of inches deep.
We, after being here in this state of Florida now for twenty-seven years have a bit of experience with these things. The best part is when the rain comes in and after when the rainbows appear.... and the ninety degree temps go down to the seventies! Enjoy this natural beauty... I did use my 'poetic licensing' and found this particular beauty from Orlando, just up the road a piece, about three hours north and center of this state of Florida still here! But to be fair it does resemble our backyard pond...
On that very high note allow me to be the very first to wish all of you a very happy good night and ask you to kindly count all your blessings and share those overages with you know who and we will too!
And next time please be here or be square, ya hear!
