Rainy day at the beach

I love a rainy day at the beach, it's so soothing to me. Maybe I should just fill my back yard in with beach sand and pretend. But then I would have to have ocean sounds and a few seagulls. We survived another little tropical storm passing over. The worst that happened was our trash can was blown over around 2 this morning. I guess that's better than when the F1 tornado went over and cleaned all the loose paint off the handrail to the steps off the sunroom.

Despite all the really bad weather in Florida, my dream location is still Gulf Coast beach front. I like the Ft Walton - Destin area. Panama City Beach is too touristy - I had the "pleasure" of spending a month there during Spring Break. If their parents only knew. But then who am I to talk?

The rain has stopped for a while. I've taken a few more pictures of the garden, the rain has been good for it. The roses are starting to come back.
