Who’d a thought I’d need 4wd in North Florida??? But I did! - this morning… yesterday, several strong squalls passed through with drenching rain and wind blowing the rain sideways, dark skies and NOAA alerts on the weather radio - VERY exciting except for Karl who retreated to a corner of a bathroom. There are a few pieces of “dirt road” between the house and the paved road - actually it is “sand road”. When it dries out it has a teeth rattling washboard affect - after a “normal” rain and some work by the graders, it is perfect. This morning it was like driving in slush so I grinned and put the Jeep in 4wd - YES!!!
After the squalls yesterday, it dried out and was a beautiful, clear, star filled night.
This morning the air was clean, crisp and cool from the cold front behind the squalls. While no mountains here, the sky is also not blocked by deep woods as in Montana. Both spots certainly have their beauty, but I’ve been enjoying the view of lots of sky and the option of a covered front porch or open back deck.
