Watching the rain.....

Sitting here watching the rain come down on a chilly January Sunday. It is a real Florida rain day where water runs in the streets and the retention ponds fill. I  awoke in the night to the beating of rain on the window and could hear the wind whipping through the palms. I got out of bed to have a look and the rain was pouring like an open faucet. Although it was dark out the pool lights illuminated the pool enough to see waves churning up the water. Not often do we see waves in the pool. The day is a wet one so its a day to hunker  down and read  I guess. We have not had the best January weather wise, but winter storms seem to prevail everywhere so we are thankful to at least have above freezing temperatures.

We keep busy with having dinners with friends and playing cards. Roger continues to golf  on Wednesdays and will attend his new painting class again on Tuesday afternoon. He is adjusting to his new golf clubs and has spent time hitting balls at the golfing range practicing his swing. I have finished my book for book club, attended my meditation class, helped plan the next trivia night and worked on pictures for the next harbour isle newsletter. The community calendar is filling up with festivals and events so I suspect the next month will be a busy one
.
Next week my friend Brenda R. comes to visit and just in time for the weather to warm up. I see pool time and lazy days in our future.

I hear the Manitoba weather is brutal, so stay warm and safe.
Talk soon.
Carol.
