Another day in South Florida--today's temp is 92 but it will 'cool' off starting tomorrow! If you look at the second picture down on the left you will see the first Queen Crepe Myrtle tree in bloom kicking off the season and though we have very few left they will all be in bloom soon--the only color in Gateway since the new owners took over and took out all the flowering plants, bushes and trees. The third picture from the left in the second row is Lucy, my neighbor, always looking out for us. Whether it is spotting canoes through the trees from my apartment window (third picture from the left, second row) or one of the many million-dollar homes across the canal (top row, far right) or people in yachts, motorboats, being dragged over the water and, of course, eventually falling in or just enjoying looking over The Point no matter what is going on in the world it is peaceful here.

We also had a wonderful hot and sunny day yesterday, it was a pleasure to be by the lake, I brought food and we had a picnic.

@GreatMartin We were under beautiful large trees, and under a pergola, as you can see in the photo, I hate to stay in the sun.

Wow quite warm, been cool here, but supposed to hit 90 one day next week. Temperature has been all over the place here, cold, warm, cold, warm. I can't wait for summer when it well be a steady 110 out, haha just kidding. Very nice area it looks and cool boats. Sounds and looks like a good retirement.

This day started off with heavy rain and thunder but then mellowed out and the sun shone, You got me a bit confused on the dates it is Sunday the 25th is it not or am I missing something? Anyway great photos I wish I could see the river from my windows but there are other houses between me and the river views, I hope you have a great start to the new week,
