It has been a pleasant late winter and early spring here in Stuart, Florida, and my sister Susan and I have enjoyed our time here, but it is finally time to head back to Denver. Places to be, appointments to keep, festivals to attend, the list goes on. It is starting to get hot down here in South Florida, which is not necessarily a bad thing, and we hope to come back down here in mid-summer, when we will at last be able to finally find a parking space and a table on the patio at the Sailors Return Restaurant at Stuart's Sunset Bay Marina. No problem about the heat and humidity on that patio. They have fans. The snowbirds will be only a distant memory. And by the way, I took the photograph above up in Vero Beach, Florida, on a particularly windy day. And I must say, virtually the entire time we were down here, rain or shine, the winds along the ocean have been very strong. The red flags at the lifeguard stations seemed to be up most of the time, and many of beaches have been dealing with serious erosion. If that keeps up and those beaches are not restored, that could play havoc with the tourist season. But on the other hand, that would finally take care of that damn snowbird problem. Just sayin'.
