It is actually a pretty nice day here today, temperatures into the 70s with the sun making at least a couple of token appearances. However, it IS windy. We observed la regle d'Auckland and rode over to the beach. There were several catamarans preparing to launch and I thought to myself that it was probably a good day for that. But maybe not, when we arrived back at the compound the Weather Channel was reporting a small craft advisory.
We rode past this interesting hedge on both the outward and inward legs of the journey. I like orange, there are not enough orange flowers.
The
recent record setting cold spell here did more than just raise the price of oranges and tomatoes in the northern states. Lots of people with tropical yard plantings of the more delicate variety have lost shrubbery. This one is called "sea grape" by the hostess.
Here is something to really like about Florida. Winter in Minnesota can make a person feel more than a little aged and infirm. But when one comes to Florida and spends a little time around the truly aged and truly infirm one quickly realizes that there is still a loooooong ways to go on the slide down the age and infirmity scorecard. It is an interesting paradigm shift to suddenly find oneself to be among the quite young and healthy again.
