The long hot days of Florida summer

A much quieter week especially with it off season in Naples and Mark in LA and Seattle all week. My lists for the lists has officially started. We are two weeks and counting before loading up the car and trekking back to Star Mt.

My morning walk is as early as I can get out as it's hot and humid now even before 7am. Hardly a soul around and I plow through gossamer threads that have been busily woven overnight. Wildlife sightings of the day -turtles, ducks, tropical birds, and rabbits.

I feel the familiar itch for Star Mt. creeping back. Early mornings involve eyes swiveling in every direction for quite a different set of animals - elk, deer, bear, fox, coyote, and now we hear a bull moose has been spotted on Star Mt. twice. Mr. Moose, please wait for us...

Ahh, no more clean car, Whole Foods, and a myriad of stores and restaurants 5 minutes away. It's a trade off to be in one of the more beautiful places on planet earth. A wild and fierce love for Star Mt. is embedded in my heart. Interesting summer coming up with Mark coming and going from Florida and I to stay at Star Mt. and man the home front.

Still enjoying the beach, and during the week it's quiet and sweet. The enjoyment of the water by all continues, and then there's the occasional dolphin sighting.

Back to Miami next week. More adventures in salsa town.
