Punta Gorda skies over the past weeks have been that blue that's bluer than blue..... cerulean blue with only the occasional intruding cloud on the canvas. Concurrent with these blue skies was the driest October on record. Since we are dependent upon the rain to support our lush landscapes, I wasn't unhappy today to see these magnificent dark clouds roll in.
This summer was essentially hurricane free, and while most Punta Gordans who have lived here through one major hurricane don't look forward to them, full-time Floridians realize that the milder version of these storms bring the rains that sustain our tropical environment through the dry winter months.
These were the same skies I saw when this cold front came through. Pretty neat!
