Walking outside, the heat hits you like a wall. Then someone takes a still wet blanket from the dryer, throws it over your face and then tells you to start breathing through it. Welcome to Florida during the summer, where, if the heat doesn’t kill you, the humidity will make you wish it had.
As you might have guessed, I’m not in my normal stomping grounds right now. Along with the rest of my immediate family, I’m down in Florida visiting with my Dad’s side of the family.
It’s a nice opportunity for my three little dudes to get to know their cousins, most of whom live far, far away. We don’t get together often enough so this makes a good excuse for me to brave the heat of a Florida summer. I mean, we moved north to get away from these. We moved to North Carolina so we could have four seasons.
Well, Florida actually does have four seasons. There’s summer, late summer, three days of winter, followed by early summer. So, yeah, four seasons. Sort of.
Long story short, this heat has wiped me out today. I’ll be back with more tomorrow.
