Hooky at the Beach

A few weeks ago, we played hooky and went to the beach.  

It was so wonderful!  The weather was hot and the water was warm again.  Little did we know this was going to be one of the last sunny days we would see without rain!  

Now everyday, we get rain in the afternoon.  I remember during our first few days in Tampa it always rained at around 3 or 4 pm - just about the time we wanted to jump into the hotel pool.   That had been the middle of July.  I'd say this whole afternoon rain thing started in mid-June.  

One of the great advantages is that I don't have to worry about watering the plants!!!  The basil in the salsa box is thriving!
