Day after Valentine's day.

The cold weather is coming back and the rain storms have left Florida. I went outside last night and the night before to look how clear the sky was at night. Last night the sea wind was blowing the palm tree next door. The palm tree has it's own light at night to act as kind of protection and it just enhances the image of a seaside home. The stars were so vivid. I could easily see the big dipper. I am looking forward to some nice colors at the beach during the daytime, maybe on the weekend.

Looking for brighter days

Tonight, I sit in a warm house with the dishwashing machine going and listening to the news. Friday was the day after a couple of tornadoes hit the State of Florida the night before. One of the tornadoes touched the North end of New Smyrna and I have only been aware according to the news stories on television. We had fried Alaskan Flounder with a salad for dinner and cake for dessert. The victims were lucky to get food from FEMA and the Red Cross volunteers. I watch the tv to see stories of human strength. People bonding together through disastrous events. The victims realize that people count more than the things they owned. I hope they can rebuild and be stronger and happier in the future.
