South Florida has been under water restrictions due to the lack of rain. This has caused Lake Okeechobee (source of clean water) to go down to it's lowest level. The water from the Lake is also a source of water for the Everglades. It no longer has a natural flow due to Human intrusion and control. There is currently a plan to try to restore the Everglades, but once you mess with Nature it is hard to put it back.....
Today is the first day of Hurricane season and we are expecting rain for the next few days. This is a good thing. It might ruin a couple of outdoor plans, but we do need the water.
I've been wanting to get some new flowering plants for the front yard, but that requires that they get watered regularly to take root and survive. I only use plants that are native to Florida.
Oh Well......on to the weekend. Was planning on going to the beach one of the days...let's see how it goes with the rain...... Might end up another indoor movie day....hmm... maybe some retail therapy.....
The artwork is titled "Everglades" and is by Nicholas (8 years old). I am counting the days as he will be here the beginning of July and through the beginning of August.
