The temperatures are rising in Florida. I must admit, I prefer it cooler, but you have to take what is dished out. I started early and actually walked through Betty Steflik before going on to North Peninsula State Park. I did it because the park in Flagler has more exposed boardwalk and therefore more sun. There wasn’t a big crowd. It would appear people were either at work or had gone home north.

Clouds were building up when I drove on to North Peninsula, so I kept an eye on them. Florida thunderstorms are a frequent occurrence especially in the spring and summer. There wasn’t any rain, but plenty of heat and sunshine. I’m adjusting… slowly.

We’re going to have some temperatures in the low 90’s next week, so I may not go out on those days, but keep to local walks early in the morning before the heat rises. We all have to adjust.

Have a great weekend, folks!
