Did me a little side camping today.
The temp here was in the three digits as far as the heat index this afternoon , then the clouds moved in and thing got almost bearable , anyway into the double digits. :evil:
Later the rains arrived and things got pretty decent. It is a lot of fun and really enjoyable sitting on the back porch and listing to the rain hit the aluminum roof of the porch. Only thing better would be on a tarp or the roof of a tent or rain fly over the hammock , in this weather .... the hammock.
Well things keep getting better. Later around sundown the western sky turned red as the sun sank into the west with a difused light due to the cloud cover and a slight breeze was blowing , the temp dropped to 74 on the porch.
The real beauty , besides the sunset , was watching the herons flying by going to there night roost with them silouetted against the diffused red , orange and yellow glow from the setting sun , what a sight , Florida at it's best and natural.
The night sounds started , a bug here and one there then the frogs and before long the night critters chimed in. One of the best orchestras anyone could enjoy listing to , Nature at it's best.
Makes me want to be camping tonight , Low 70 with a light sprinkle coming down , a breeze to move the air and everything rejoicing because of the decent weather.
For now I will have to settle with some side camping , sitting out on the porch and just enjoying life. Tomorrow will be a different day and with some luck as good as this evening.
Don't mind me .... I enjoy the simple things in life and what it offers me.
