Rainy Day in Florida

I woke up this morning to rain and cloudy skies and thought I was back home in Canada for a moment. On further inspection, the grass is green and the hibiscus is blooming so it must be Florida.

We have very few rainy days here in Florida during the winter so we snowbirds just grin and bear it knowing the rain is sorely needed. When it becomes too dry there is a danger of brush fires. 3 or 4 years ago there were so many brush fires in the spring that grey ash scattered down like snowflakes over much of Florida for a few days.

I think I'll spend this rainy day just the way I spend them at home. I'll curl up with a good book and maybe even have a nap.
