Rain

If you look really closely you'll see rain drops on the windshield. However even not looking too closely you'll notice the car was on a six lane highway thus it was not in the Keys. One should be grateful it seems to be raining cats and dogs every afternoon on the mainland because that is where our water supply comes from, but still I am ready to see lots of lush greenery even in the Keys.Every morning I see big black clouds overhead promising me a day off watering the plants. Fat chance. Every day they blow away and when I wake up at lunchtime its a blindingly bright sunny day outside. Poor me.
I don't mind at all because the breezes are still blowing and though it may be 91 degrees outside its an absolute delight standing around for ten minutes, hose in hand watching my mango grow.

But still, it seems like it would be the socially responsible thing to wish for rain. They say it rain heavily in Key West a couple of days ago, but that's just a rumor. Come on down, the weather is lovely, if you're not a plant.
