Good ol' Florida.....

The morning began way too early for me...before the alarm went off at 6 am, I heard the shower running...hubby was up.  This was about 5:15 am...he was having spasms in his neck where the vertebrae is chipped and couldn't get comfortable.  That's one of the side effects from him running the tractor and mower...the bouncing and constant turning to check the mower deck irritates his injury.

Outside, its still a dark, pre-sunrise grey...the sun won't be up until at least 7:30 am...by the end of the month this will seem more normal, as we turn the clocks back an hour.  Barney began to sound right at 6 am, even though it was still dark.  The air has a wonderful chill in it this morning as the humidity has dropped to around 39% and the temperature is right at 66 degrees.  The high for today is supposed to be around 85 and sunny.
We are also under a red flag warning for fire danger with the humidity being so low for the next few days.
Still amazes me how they are allowed to do that with so many still under standing flood waters and we just had a good hard spell of rain less than two days ago!  About the middle of the month we move into our dry season and we still have til the end of November to be watching for hurricanes...good ol' Florida weather!

As I watch the orange-red glow begin to fill the back pasture, I notice a lone deer near the back fence...she's wearing her fall dark colors.  I'm not real sure just what it is they like so much about the weeds right there, but I always enjoy seeing their sweet faces...even though they destroy some of the things I like.  When I looked out front, I had three more visiting there.  Looked to be a doe with twin fawns...just past the spot stage..all of them dressed in the dark colors of fall.  So sweet, as long as they are nibbling far from my Hibiscus...lol.  Looks like mama has brought them up to the birdfeeders...all three are busy nibbling the growth around the Rubber Tree plant right off the front porch.  Kinda humerous, the two big dogs are passed out with the deer just feet away grazing as if they own the place.

My part will be in after 11 am, so that means a trip into town sometime today...hate to get started doing anything major knowing I'm going to have to stop.  For now, I guess I'll just go toss a bit of feed to the chickens and pick up a bit...maybe start a load or two of laundry since its so nice and cool.
