Sugarloaf Drive 1

I know I was made to live in this kind of climate. I can't get over how much I like the shiny green of the palm fronds, the clear blue of the sky and the white cotton wool balls of cloud scudding away pushed by the strong southeast winds. Sugarloaf Drive,a straight line south from US Highway One at Mile Marker 17 is one of those ultra suburban subdivisions. The lots are large and spacious, the houses are a wild mixture of larger nicely built homes in all styles and shapes and there is so much greenery it's a suburban forest.And now the snowbirds have leaked away back Up North for a sweltering airless summer on the Great Plains, Sugarloaf Drive's pleasant meandering sidewalk is devoid of traffic so Cheyenne and I could wander at will.


Some people complain of heat and humidity or of mosquitoes and cockroaches or whatever else ails them about Flatistan, but I take one look at some greenery, some blue sky and some puffy white clouds overhead.




And I'm glad to be here.

In those two sentences, you just captured my reason for visiting the Keys twice and year, and once retired, hope to live there! Excellent!! Awesome!!
