A View from my Window

Drat! It’s pouring out. I was reading out on the lanai in the sunshine when I felt a few sprinkles of rain, but the easterly wind blew it away from my direction .
I got chilly, so put on a sweater and went back outside.
Then it poured like crazy.
Back indoors now and thought I would show you a photo from my window of The Sunshine State.
It’s letting up now, but here I shall stay. So what do you think?

@DianneN It's bright and sunny here. You could come visit for a few days. It is 73F right now. ...............But, I should warn you that the next three days are supposed to look just like your weather here, too.

We have 10 foot waves now and gusty winds with rain on the way. Right this minute it’s 77 degrees and sunny. Go figure.

I remember all the other couples in a competition were using really quite tired music
And me and Yvonne mixed up a Waltz, a Tango, some Jive and a Quick Step and used " good feeling"
We got disqualified for illegal lifts
But everyone knew we were the best.

It definitely looks wet, but still pretty gentle. It was windy when I was up in Erie, and the lake was really in a frenzy. I didn't dare get too close.

When we lived in Daytona Beach when I was a teenager, had to pull over on the way home from St. Augustine because of the "sunshine" pouring down so hard we couldn't see the front of the car. Ten miles down the road you couldn't tell it had ever rained.

When it rains, it pours! And it also gets cold in the winter (just not as cold as it gets here...usually). I remember one year we were on vacation in Florida in the wintertime, and we kept going farther south, hoping it would warm up. We probably should have gone to the keys, but we only had the gumption to go as far as Stuart. And it was STILL COLD! No beach for us. It was so cold at Disney World, they turned off the things that normally spray you on the rides.

It certainly does and we’re having the same weather today. Tomorrow should be great.
I certainly understand! Stuart is less than 100 miles from Miami and should have been warm. We vacationed in Fort Lauderdale and had an oceanfront room which led directly out to the beach. It was so cold and windy that we wound up playing ping pong in some sheltered courtyard for half of our vacation and didn’t set foot in the pool. Shortly afterwards, we vacationed in South Beach, but the topless women kept me from enjoying the beach. I hung out at the pool where they weren’t allowed - at least at our hotel.

Well that picture doesn't make me jealous like your other pictures of your view do
Hope it lets up so you can go back to reading on the lanai.

Getting money from the consignment shop sounds good. I'm sure you'll find a good use for it
