Happily, the rain and wind have disappeared from this area, the sun is out again, and if I had the energy to get in my canoe, I could head out on the river just like this gal. (If you look close, you can see the manatee she’s watching.)
Even if I stay home, though, it’s nice to have the storms gone, at least for the time being. My thoughts are with those who are still dealing with “Debby,” and I hope their weather will soon clear up, too!

Thanks for updating us on the weather situation in gator/croc country. Hopefully, they didn’t end up in your yard, Marcia. 🙂

Thanks, Nancy. BTW, No crocs around this part of the state, and the gators stayed in their lakes and ponds, happily. Our neighborhood doesn’t flood, so they weren’t attracted, I reckon. But we do have a lake fairly close by, and I’ve sure seen them there. Which is why, fresh or salty, I never, EVER swim in any body of water that isn’t enclosed in turquoise concrete. Having been raised here, I’ve seen WAAAY too much for that to be something I could relax and enjoy. 😂

Glad it’s cleared up for you. It looks like we’ll be getting some rain from it towards the end of the week.

So far, mostly scattered rain showers and a little wind for me. The storm passed just to the west, so they got a bit more and some tornado warnings. It should clear out by tomorrow I think.

Thanks so much, Priscilla, and yep, we do have some beautiful, spring-fed streams around here, all of them crystal clear. It really makes canoeing fun, even though I haven’t been in some time. Hopefully, I’ll get back out there again before too much longer. 😀 ❤

What a relief! I love that picture – the water’s so clear. You’ve been so lucky to have had that for your canoeing and it makes me think of some of those poems from your Summer Magic book. ❤ ❤ ❤

Glad you liked the picture, Trish, and funny enough, I was thinking of our gorgeous, crystal clear streams when I was working on Summer Magic. I haven’t been canoeing in a long time, but I’m hoping the next time Erin visits, she and I can head out for a nice day on the water. She loves it almost as much as I do. 😀 ❤

Thanks, Jennie. We were all holding our breath as we tracked the storm (and don’t think THAT wasn’t difficult, with as long as it took to get by us!) 😀 Hope we don’t get any more threats this hurricane season, but we’re prepared, just in case. 😀 ❤

The weather is very pretty to look at right now, Sally, from inside an air-conditioned room, that is. Heat Index today is 109!!! Actual temps a bit lower, but with that sun beating down like a blast furnace, it definitely feels like 109! I’m staying inside until somewhere around October or November, I think. (For a Florida Native, I sure do hate HOT weather.)
