Glorious!!!
Bam!!!! That’s what this is!!! It’s an INCREDIBLE couple of days we’re having here! Breezy, mid-eighties, and dry. Absolutely impossible to fathom that we’re in the midst of July! An actual COLD FRONT came through….okay, okay if you don’t get the magnitude of this….in Florida I was a weather-watching junkie who spent too much time watching these systems come down over the country and stop, oh, around North GA or so, never reaching Florida. I”m afraid the Florida forecast won’t change for a long time: sunny and hot with a chance of afternoon thunderstorms. And what really knocks you back is the HUMIDITY. Like a sauna…a sweaty, wet sauna that makes you beg and pray and ache for relief. So anyway, I’d watch these systems come across and in a rather masochistic way would get my hopes up that they would somehow break records and come all the way down. Then that stupid jet stream would do it’s snake-like thing and cut it off. Well temperatures like this around here aren’t the norm but it’s the beautiful POTENTIAL that it can really come that is so refreshing. The fronts do make it through sometimes and we get this glorious respite in the middle of things, a chance to roll around in the grass and look up at the shapes in the clouds, and all at once spring isn’t so long ago and fall not so far in the future. Makes savoring summer all the more possible….freeing really, because it’s evident that it won’t last forever.
