View from my window
View from my window (literal or mind)
The window is in my office and since I am at my desk most of the day, I am constantly looking out the window to see if I can spy on someone, watch the occasional lizard crawl along the window or watch the skies for rain.
As you can see from the picture, my view consists of the neighbor’s garage door and little bit of landscaping. Definitely, not a million dollar view! Since I live in a 55+ community in Florida, there isn’t much activity in the streets anyway. A golf cart or car may pass now and again or the retired couple taking a stroll together. There are a few dog owners walking down the street with their little dogs and when the neighbor across the street has a fight with her spouse, that’s worth watching. Yes folks, I am a nosey neighbor! Someone has to do that job and I must say I qualify!
Here lately though, my main cause to peep out the window is to watch the skys. It’s hurricane season and we have been having daily thunderstorms and lighting. We are in desperate need of water here in Florida and from April 9th till June 11th, we didn’t receive one drop at our house. Two months without a drop!! Our grass and landscaping was really showing the stress and the rain we have been getting lately has really greened up the landscaping for sure.
Not a bad view! I hope you stay safe during hurricane season!
Yes, I’m a nosey neighbor, too. lol Comes from living in a military community where the husbands are gone a lot. A couple of weeks ago, there were lights going on and off in an empty house on our block, late on a Sunday night. Oh yeah, called the MPs. They see the lock box was opened, open the door, yell in there that they were the military police. No answer. Yell back that they were coming in with the K9s and to lay on the floor with their hands down. No answer. So in go the K9s who scared the bejesus out of the painter who was trying to meet a deadline for the new rental!
Wow, 2 months without rain? I’ll send hubby out to do a little rain dance for ya. I hope you get some soon, just not in hurricane format!
Have a great weekend.
Sounds like you live in a serene safe community. I hope you get some rain soon. In fact, reading this reminds me that I have to water my plants.
2 Months??? As someone who lives in Seattle thats CRAZY
And the daily storms we have been getting since, just don’t seem to help much (other than to make it feel muggy as well as hot.) I know I need to start keeping an eye on the weather too.
