I was hoping for some nice cool weather with blue skies and warm sunshine. Instead, the humidity came and the clouds took over and the day went gloomy. The coast seems to be the last to show the changing of the seasons. When I was staying in Williston, Florida, I could see golden rod and leaves changing color and sunlight reflecting on the leaves. Maybe with a little more time the coast will show signs of fall in the air and the surrounding area.
The weather has turned a bit cooler in Williston, Florida. My sister and I beat the lunch crowd at "The Driftwood" which is the local restaurant on the main road into the city. I got a big juicy hamburger with curley fries. My sister got the fried tilapia with curley fries. Plus she got green beans and field peas. The leftovers came back to the dogs. I also got an order of fried mushrooms which I ate most and Glendon( my sister) ate some. The leftovers went to the dogs. Max the little guy will fight over his food. He is very territorial and will stand up to a big German Shepard. My sister's dog Abe is sweet, but will not stand up to my little monster. Max has more character and really is a super dog. I am glad he came with me to visit my sister. It looks like she will come with me to New Smyrna for the night and head back the next day. She won't see trees with sunshine glissening off the leaves. She will see asphalt and salt and sand. Yes, the beach with the pelicans and salt water and sea air. A different kind of Florida.
