Evening,
Back from school run and preparing country vegetable soup with fresh bread rolls for our dinner. Hope you're all having a good day.

Sad to learn about Alan Rickman's passing. Loved him in Harry Potter and Love Actually and so many more.

I can't believe the day is almost over. I still have work to do. Guess I will be up tonight. The days just seem to merge into the next these days. Think I deserve an easy Saturday!

Sunny and 32. It feels wonderful out there. I got the sidewalk clear of ice but around the car still needs to melt a bit before I can break it up. Hopefully by this afternoon.

Now where's that cough syrup.

I'm so sorry you're still fighting that cough. Hope the temps heat up enough to clear some ice.

Seeeeeaaaaasonnnnnn... I'm sorry... what's this word you speak of?

Florida has no seasons. Nothing. There is no lovely changing foliage. Even if it's cool it's usually still somehow humid. We're lucky if we get a total of a week and a half to two weeks worth of days that are what most everyone else considers Autumn temps. That usually only happens January or February. Every once in a great while (read every few years) the temp will dip into the 30's F at night.

If it was in the 40s at night, you'll quite likely be in the high 70s by noon if not low 80s. For the most part the only way you know it's "winter" is it's not quite as humid.

Late February the temps begin to climb again and by March, normal is mid-80s with about 70% humidity. By June you're in full fledged summer heat with temps in mid 90s at about 85% humidity. Late July through September is high 90s into the 100s at 98 to 100% humidity with real feel maintaining at about 105-110. It feels very much like if you were standing in a steam room and someone covered your face with a soaking wet hot towel and pulled it tight.

October is the time where you may get a day or two that are pleasant. Our kids Trick or Treat in the lightest weight costuming you can imagine, hosed down in bug repellant, carrying citronella torches. Most kids ask to call it a night not because their tired, but because they're too hot and its normal for parents to carry water to avoid overheating. LOL

Lest we forget we're action packed with every insect you can imagine from things that look like they pre-date mastadons to weird hairy squiggly biting things. More mosquitos per capita and giant spiders along with a vast array of poisonous snakes, frogs as far as the eye can see and alligators.

I give you... The Sunshine State. The most brilliant marketing ploy ever devised. LOL

Sadly to me, November and December are almost exactly like October. Case in point on Christmas we're more likely to have to run our air conditioners and show up to dinner in shorts and a tank top. LOL

I believe it's the simply the geographic location and land structure of the state as it relates to the continent. We jut off surrounded by the Atlantic and Gulf of Mexico. The cool fronts come across from the west across the Gulf and tropical currents push in from the Atlantic creating a perpetual state of heat and humidity. Our latitiude allows us to be closer to the sun so it burns off cloud cover for maximum UV index, but far enough to heat the moisture left in the air from both currents pushing into each other over bodies of water.

It's science's version of a Catholic's Pergatory. ;) LOL

Part of my view from a patio right now:

1.) I really find your posts interesting and entertaining to read.
2.) You make me appreciate the 4 seasons I have in the northeast. Sometimes in winter I complain it's too cold or I don't want the snow but I think that I'd rather have it this way than to be hot basically 95% of the year. That's a little much for me.
