First day of May -- wow! We enter the month famed for bringing flowers after the April showers. Hope we can get outdoors and enjoy all that Nature has to offer. Reminder to self: Got to get to Brookgreen Gardens very soon; one of most graceful slices of Nature combined with art and history anywhere.
Weather is usually a good starting point here. It is always changing (obviously) and it varies greatly from one STC location to another (obviously). We have had a spell of unseasonably warm and humid weather -- was still humid this morning on our dawg walk, but the wind was blowing briskly, bringing some relief, and spectacular sight of puffy clouds skittering along rather rapidly. All this presages some likely thunderstorms overnight, and then a blessed drop in humidity for a few days, followed by some scattered showers toward end of week. We can use the rain -- has been rather dry the past month.
Just now I am hearing heavy-duty jet planes in the background. Used to be a big Air Force base here, but not now. Been hearing the jets the past 3-4 days. Wonder if anything is stirring. Hope and pray for peaceful solutions to world's problems.
Exercise: I have been busy meeting my work quota for April, but no excuse today for not trying the at-home senior exercises my sweet instructor/trainer personally provided me -- at my request, believe it or not. I will do some right after I finish writing this STC week's starter. If I don't, I will be on a guilt trip -- and no points are awarded for those. They don't show up on my step-tracker.
My son, who loves deep-sea fishing, brought us back a ton of fish right out of the Atlantic, and we have a second night of those on tap tonight. Had some snapper, sea bass, and "trigger fish," which I'd never heard of before but my son advises is highly prized because can only be caught way out in the deep. He hooked a shark too, but didn't keep.
Okay, I am rambling now....hope you all have a happy May Day followed by a good month of May as a whole. Usually May does not reach the torrid levels of July and August....and hurricane season does not start 'til June 1. (Some folks around these parts are still struggling to recover from Hurricane Matthew.)....
Cheers all,
Superbob
