Cold Front Came, Hurricane left

Oct 28th, walking Beau at 7:35, I took two photos of the front that saved us from Cat 5 Hurricane Melissa, It pushed the storm East and we were spared, but Jamaica was destroyed. I am thankful for being spared and pray for the ones that were hit so hard

Beau and I really enjoyed 4 days of brrr cold in AM walk with lows of 57 to 61 degrees. I even wore my orange hoody.

photo taken 11/30/2024

Yesterday I   posted this photo and Meezer commented it would make a great Halloween photo.

I spend an hour each day PLAYING at drawing/painting in Procreate on Ipad and 

here you go Meezer...your comment inspired my playtime.

Any of you want to give me your title for this ummm .......creation???

Going up to that Spirit in the Sky

 

June 10th, this was the view of the sky with my back to the rising sun. The reflections off the clouds out over our beaches, were glowing with color, even though when I turned to look back, the sunrise was not much to look at.

As Beau and I walked  June 12th the sky was ok but nothing to take a photo of and as I stared at it, a music only of a song I have not heard in years, was playing in my head. I could feel the beat and tried to sing it and All I could sing was going up to _____ in the sky. Could. Not.Remember.Spirit.

Came home and typed in Going up to the what in the sky and up it popped and now I am driving bob nuts listening.  

do you hate it, love it, or have no feelings at all. The sky is our walking companion each morning at sunrise.. NEVER tire of it, bob is on the hate it list.

Florida Storms

 

In Florida we live by our Weather Apps. Our storms rarely come for more that 5 minutes to 1 hour. They are trackable, and that is the reason we don't use umbrellas.  They come in the LINE of storms, either fast moving or slow moving. the slower it goes the more rain. I can look at the line and tap a time and tell if I have time to walk Beau, or should wait until after it passes. 

the second ways is little floating cells, that can sprinkle or flood us, just on our house, or on the one across the street, or on my house nothing, and Jackie's house a few blocks away is inundated.

Th morning of Feb 5th, a storm line was marching and marching quickly, I chose to wait until it was passed and then we left for our walk. The photo above was at 7:30 AM and it appeared to be a mountain, but we knew it was the front moving away from us. clear where we stood and 20 miles away moving fast away from us.

Later in the day, mid afternoon, Bob looked out the window and said Look, another storm is building. It's out over Ellenton. that is 2 miles NE of our house.

From our front porch, Feb 3:05 pm

This was one of the PUFFY clouds about to float over, under or through us. I looked at the radar and it was going East away from us. It was stunning to stand and watch it, we were on the sunshine side, if we drove 10 miles and looked back at it, it would be dark.

This is one of the many reasons I love Florida, the weather can be watched and most of the time avoided.

NOTE: this doesn't include Hurricane Watching.

Labor day CLOUDS....
