What Were They Searching For?!

Down here in South Florida some odd things happen. Strangely shaped people wander around hoping to get a tan, hoping to regain their youth. Drivers are kind of odd as well. They either zoom along, pass you on the hard shoulder, or, they crawl along at twenty miles per hour! As for the action in the computer room, well, I tell you, delinquency, verging on anarchy so many times prevails. People are supposed to use the computer for just 15 minutes. Oh really?! You're not allowed to sit down if you're wearing a wet swimming suit? LOL!

To get back to the two women and the man who were crawling along on the ground. See previous post, in case you're just dying to know what I'm talking about. I had nothing better to do than practically fall off the balcony as I leant over watching the shenanigans below. One woman sprawling out underneath a bush, another woman appearing from nowhere who joins the first woman in this bizarre search. I guessed they were searching for something! Unfortunately, I couldn't hear the conversations.
Then, a man saunters by, and the next thing he too crouches down and almost disappears underneath the bushes.

Guess what they were all looking for?! The first woman let out a huge yell. "I found them!" She held them up in glee. Keys! I surmise they must have been her car keys. Yeah!!!

Searching

People do the oddest things at times. Especially when they're on vacation.

There I was seated on the balcony of our fourth floor condo. It was early evening and a balmy sixty five degrees in South Florida. Suddenly, I heard a lot of rustling and groans and moans. What was going on?

Having nothing better to do, I stood up and gazed over the balcony railing. What did I see? Some woman sprawled out on the grass. At first I thought she was drunk or dead. But then her hands and feet moved as she crawled about on the ground. She was obviously searching for something. And that something had to be important! Before I knew it she disappeared inside the bushes!

Then, another woman came along. Spoke to the first woman, and then she also got down on the ground and started searching inside the bushes. Golly gosh. So much excitement here in South Florida!

I waited with bated breath to see what would happen next. You won't believe it, but along came a man. Just sauntering around, probably making his way back home for the evening. Guess what? The next thing he sprawled down on the ground next to the two women. My goodness! What was going on?

You'll just have to wait until the next installment!

Which View do you Prefer?

Know what's so nice about windows? You get interesting views from them! Which view do you prefer? The one above, or the one below?



This second photo I took from our dining room overlooking the deck and backyard.
The first one? I took that from our deck on Siesta Key, Florida. Yeah! What a difference!

One good thing about the snow and ice is that you REALLY appreciate the beach and warm weather in Florida. Even although it's only around sixty degrees on Siesta Key, it sure beats twenty degrees at home!



Which do you prefer to do right now? Shovel snow or walk along the beach?

Who Wants to Shovel Snow? Five Reasons not to.



What's the weather like where you are? Here, in the United States, an enormous part of the country is having snowstorms and high winds. These high winds make it difficult to shovel snow. Not that I shovel very often. I'd just as soon let the snow do its own thing - melt.



In case you're feeling obliged to get out there on this freezing winter day to shovel snow, here are five reasons not to.



1. The wind will blow the snow away. It will, won't it?

2. It's nice to see paw prints on your driveway. I wonder what doggy walked by and peed on your mailbox?

3. Spring is just around the corner! Well, maybe not MY corner.

4. The snow shovel is just SO very far away. In the garage? Yeah, that's far away.

5. There's even more snow on its way. Might as well wait. Don't you agree?!
