It's overcast and rainy this morning. I'm hoping it lasts all day. We haven't had a good rainy day in a while.
It's been unseasonably hot lately. I've been trying to go for periodic walks. I don't mind the heat or the humidity so much as long as there's a haze to block some of the sun. The South Florida sun is brutal.
I live in a very strange spot. I'm surrounded by suburban development on every side, but I live on a private road next to what I assume are homesteaders of some kind which provides a buffer from the endless strip malls and housing developments all around. When I walk, until I get out to the main road, it's easy to forget where I am, and focus on the rustle of snakes and lizards in the foliage, the occasional butterfly or dragon fly, the egrets, the bluejays. I saw what I think was an Eastern Hognose the other day. It was all black, and so still I thought at first that it was dead until it decided it didn't like the creepy biped staring at it and noped out back into the trees.
I'm noticing how vegetal things smell when it's muggy out. It's not a pleasant smell, exactly, but it's earthy and soothing in its way.
