Oh Beny, those pictures even FELT good 😀
Beautiful palms, sunshine and white sand.
I just finished sweeping half-frozen mud, gravel and snow out of my garage.
People in Florida are soooooo lucky!
Thanks for that eye candy!

Ok, thx Jim....
Im agree Barb, they don t know what kind of weather we have here. But everything is possible, and for me in the next few years...ill be a snowbird for sure 😆 ..I saw almost all the house in Kissimee (where i was) as a screened veranda over the pool and covering almost all the backyard 😯 . So, i supposed they have a lot of mosquito during the hot and humid summer.

Yeah, all that swamp water with their 1foot elevation above sea level. 😆
Proof that there's good and bad no matter where people live.
But I think we northerners appreciate warm sunshine more than Floridians do. 😉
Plus we have no hurricanes. 🙄
That white sand looked soooooo nice, Beny.

Thanks for the pics! I swear I saw some coconut palms next to some house last time I was down there. There were a little sad looking and wedged up against a house but I swear they were cocos. It was between clear water and st. pete.

Here's to all the global warming pushers, may your winters be -30 below and four feet of snow in your driveway. Because I want you happy.

Yes Jeff, i saw some Cocos nucifera at Clearwater, but there was in bad shape with just few leaves.
The sand was like flour, same texture...first time i saw that. Was very special.
Barb, you re right, but i think i d like to live with a hurricane every few years instead having snow storm every winter 😉
