Well, when it rains in Florida it really rains. The predictions for Thursday were for rain by noon so we didn't plan anything except a little laundry and some other chores. Needless to say it didn't start raining until late in the day. So what did we do? We did laundry and some chores, walked the dogs and took it easy.
Now on Friday it was sprinkling when we got up so out came the dog towels with one going on the floor by the entry and the other in the co-pilot chair. It rained off and on all day, sometimes heavy, sometimes not. Of course every time the kids went for a walk it was coming down pretty good, after we started out naturally. Later that night the sky opened up and we got a couple of inches of rain overnight.
Saturday morning it was still coming down heavy for our morning walk. By the time we got back we were all drenched through and through. More towels, some for the kids some for us. After changing clothes we stayed in and watched TV and read while we waited for the rain to go away. Sure enough, by lunch time it had started drying up and the sun was peeking through the clouds. By dinner it was about 70 degrees with a stiff breeze, the leading edge of the cold front.
Sunday dawned cool and clear (of rain) with light cloud cover. After a breakfast of Blueberry Pancakes,juice and coffee we watched our Sunday morning TV program, CBS Sunday Morning with Charles Osgood. After lunch we took the dogs up to the only Dog Park in the area at Veterans Park, north of Naples. The kids had a nice time playing with the other small dogs while we visited with their owners. Later we stopped at PetSmart and bought them each a new harness to replace their raggedy collars. After we got home Tina made some fresh salsa and burritos for dinner. Delicious!!
Tomorrow we are going to drive to the Everglades, stay tuned.
