Autumn Arrives in Florida

Last April I had a conversation with a Tampa-area native who told me that every single day of the summer would be very hot and humid and probably rainy. She was oh so correct. She also said that one morning in late September, early October, I would open up the front door and say, Oh, Fall is here. Right again, Miss Florida. This week has been fabulous - sunny, breezy, blue skies, fluffy clouds, humidity at 35%, temp at 75 - 80 degrees. We've been able to do loads of yard work without sweating buckets. New hibiscus-es have been planted.


And the front porch is all ready for official porch-sittin' season. Soup is being made (the mirepoix base for veggie/ham soup waiting for a shot of white wine).
This sauvignon blanc was last month's Wine Club pick - it's really really good. --cds
