Wow this is a pesky Non Tropical Low.  Since about 1am Friday, we've seen 4.34 inches of rain.  Granted, I'll take it over a hurricane, but at least those are in and out and we see the sun again !

SO, in lieu of a warm Sunday Morning walk on the beach, I bring you a warm sunset from Friday night.
Certainly the great fireball in the sky will return, and our slow lazy days on the beach will return.

I look forward to getting out there after the rains, as I love walking on the hard and squeaking sand.  Yes, our sand talks.  The regular crystal shape of our white quartz sand, when wet, rubs together as it is compacted and squeaks.  The Squeaking White Sands of the Emerald Coast takes on a whole new meaning now doesn't it?  LOL!

Needless to say, the ocean is still at RED Flag. 

For those of you visiting town, and stuck inside with the rain, we do have other things to do.  Check out http://weartv.com/sections/community/ for things to our west, and http://www.nwfdailynews.com/sections/showcase/ in the local and eastern area. 


And for the Awwwww factor...Come on now, practice your "Awwwwwww....." I bring you


And before you get TOOO overly excited on this cloudy, grey, dreary day, this cute little sea turtle isn't one of ours.  In fact, it's not a sea turtle at all.  "WHAT?" I hear you exclaim.  "what does she think it is?  A purple butterfly?"  Nope, I don't.  It's a ...wait for it....... ......... a CAKE made by Love to Cake !  Brought to my attention by my good friends over at cakewrecks!  (Sunday is for the NON wreck cakes)  So again, if your stuck inside, and cruising the net, and need somewhere else to go, go entertain yourself at http://cakewrecks.blogspot.com/

I hope to see you on the beach Monday, when the rain stops.  Have a great day everyone!
