It’s raining again. The heaviest stuff can be almost horizonal but it’s not that torrential right now.

I actually like watching the heavy stuff. It can hide the view beyond the tree line. There have been times when I couldn’t see 30 feet from my condo. But the power it represents is awesome.

Here we needed the rain. Our spring had been extremely dry. These rains will balance out the moisture we require. Afterall we’re in a fairly tropical location. Our palm trees and foliage need lots of rain.

With temps near 100, I’ve been staying inside. I notice the dog walkers on the path behind my condo are fewer. Of course many snowbirds are up-north. When you go around Kings Point you can tell there are a lot of absent folks. (Storm shutters are down, deck furniture stored, blinds drawn.)

I have an invitation to a 4th of July party/barbeque but I’m staying home. I know Sophie doesn’t like fireworks so I’ll keep her company and make sure she’s not frightened. At my condo the bangs start early.
