Life on Florida’s West Coast

Why Leave Florida in November?

I can answer the above question right up front. There is no need to leave Florida in November. In fact, just this evening as I was driving home from dinner out, I thought to myself that I wish it could be November and December in Florifa all year around. It’s positively blissful here.

I admit the water is not always warm enough to swim this time of year, but the air is cool and breezy, without humidity, and always blowing under a bright blue sky. Flowers bloom. The citrus ripens. Birds visit us from up north, as do our Snowbird friends. :)

Fall and winter are why most of us endure the summer down here. I’ve got my window open right now and a crisp breeze is wafting in smelling of oranges. It’s not so cool that I need a sweater, but I do feel invigorated by the temperature change.

I’ve got plenty of time to get out of Florida during the summer. That is when I will plan trip to las vegas (where I know it will be hot, but I will remain indoors), to Washington DC to see family, and eventually to Europe with my daughter to poke around in some of our ancestral towns. Those places can wait, though, because Florida is Heaven on earth right now.
