It’ summer in FL and it’s raining on Siesta Key.  What a mess but it is so needed.  So, thank you God for sending the rain.  We ran some errands yesterday and took note of all the ponds that finally had water in them again.  Oh the ducks, the birds, the fish eggs and the mosquitos will be happy now.

I wrote a year ago about what to do on Siesta Key when it rains.  Check it out if you’re in town and bored.   https://lifealongthegulfcoast.wordpress.com/2008/10/05/what-to-do-in-…-on-siesta-key/ Of course there is always the movies, the mall (we have 2 plus the outlets somewhere north of here).  Go jump in a puddle, hunt for beached sea critters on the surf line.  In the past I’ve found egg cases (especially this time of year), anemones, clams, horseshoe crabs and after bigger storms baby octopus.  Go have breakfast at the Broken Egg or Village Cafe.  Have fun.
