Fall, aka Autumn, in Fort Lauderdale October 2021

Tweet

All you have to do is look at the first picture and you know what the news is all about! IT RAINED! If you are like me you can sleep through anything so a rain storm, no matter how heavy, doesn't wake me up. All I have to do is walk from my dark, no light allowed in, bedroom to my living room and can't but help look out the windows and there they are! The egrets who show up after a storm to get their easy pickings meal! It is Fall in Fort Lauderdale which means the rainy season is over, we have 2 more months and hurricane season will be over so, of course, having beautiful weather for 2 weeks with little or no rain when the rainy season is over the rain falls. We had 1 inch of rain in an hour yesterday and today it is raining off and on but the sun is battling to come out! Talk about the sun--13 more days and we lose that extra light I love at night as Daylight Savings Time kicks in. Meanwhile I have my inside plants blooming and telling me it really is still summertime! The Begonias, the Holiday cactus and the babies, along with Geraniums in their reds, whites, pinks and variations on those colors are all in bloom. Not to be outdone the peppers---see last photo--are blooming and turning into green peppers! Things might change next week because it seems we may go down into the 60s one night next week! I may have to go up North to warm up!
