Sitting on the Lanai

Tweet

There’s a lot to be said for sitting outside in the sunshine or evening on my little lanai in Florida. I can myLot. I can read my book. I can work on my tan with sunscreen of course. I can enjoy snacks, coffee, or meals on the lanai. I can entertain on the lanai and serve cocktails, wine, nibbles, or even water there. No bugs can bother me, although the breeze from the water always keeps them away. I get to watch boats, kayaks, paddle boarding, canoes, fishermen, people walking on the piers, people sunning themselves on the beach at low tide, people coming and going, and even chatting with others from a safe distance. I also have the seabirds to watch. Some sun themselves and some fish. I can listen to my Amazon Echo play my favorite songs. It’s easier to communicate with Orville the osprey. I can see the ocean and various large boats. Every so often I can see manatees, ducks, or dolphins. Fish jumping out of the water are fun to watch, too, from our lanai. I have many views ~ East, South, and West. Whoever said that living on the water is boring? I know someone who has. That person doesn’t know what living is all about.
