Bright Days, Bright Canvas, and Bright Sundays

So.....Where the hell are my sunglasses ????
When the summer comes to Florida....It is not great for me.
Do you know about seasonal depression ? I suffer from it in Florida in the summer months. The humidity is oppressive (and it hasn't even hit yet), and I get headaches, almost daily.
When hurricane season comes....forget about it !! Miserable.
For me, Florida's summer months effect my lifestyle the same way the freezing cold effects others in the winter months up north. I can only be outside for a little while for fear of melting into the sidewalk.
I talk about it all the time to my freinds....the whole reason for living here is the ocean.
The end !!! That's it , nothing else.
Truly, the only place to be is right by the water. Once you get there...it is difficult to complain.

    Oh I can so relate....I never thought of it in the summertime. BUT when I lived in Alaska, I suffered BIG time. The darkness, wet, 5 hours of daylight in the winter...yucky. You are right, the beach is the BEST thing about Florida...it would be the ONLY reason I would live there.
    Blessings Sweet Friend.
    there OTHER Renae!

  2. I like the umbrellas...all of them! Color just gets me going! And the blue skies! Is that you at the end of the pier? I get migraines every time a low pressure system comes through here! I'm sorry you have the same issue in paradise! I wouldn't have thought it was so bad but I have never lived in FL.....just AZ where the temps are triple digits! I leave for Key West on Thursday this week.....wonder what the weather will be like there? My brother is getting married on a boat....hope it's a big one so I don't get sea sick!LOL! I can empathize with you, hang in there! Luanne

  5. Ewwww. Poor you. No fun. I remember when we first moved here (At the end of July) I felt like someone was following me around with a blow torch...I thought I would never get used to it. I just slow down...a lot! I float in the pool with a mag and a cool drink...

    Hope we have a slow to nothing hurricane season.

    Can you go north or west for the summer months? Become a snowbird?

  6. That is really the first time I've heard someone talk about "the other side" of Florida; the oppressive humidity. I'd love to live in a warmer climate some day, an FL is an upper runner. My concern are also the hurricanes. How do you live with that? But the ocean..., looove it.

  7. maya,

    it is really, really, really, lousy here from mid june to mid october.

    so..., if you plan to move here...have an escape route for the summer months.

  9. pamela,

  10. I second that emotion, Renee! However, because of the water, it's actually better here in FL in the Summer than Atlanta was for me. Atlanta was almost as hot and then there was no air movement most of the time. That and being land-locked made me feel even hotter. So, if this is as bad as it gets, it's still worth it to live here for me. Hope you have a great week and not too many headaches. The umbrellas are gorgeous!

  11. A sock tied to your head will do the trick. Promise.

  12. Oh boy, and I'm having an eye on FL too, for my dream house. At least it is one of the states I have on my list. I have been in FL quite a few times, but never in the summer!

  14. These pics are just the best. I totally understand and i suffered from the humidity when I lived in Australia - some people thrive on it, not me. xv

Surrounded by all the things we wanted to see,

The atmosphere we wanted feel, smell and the sound we wanted to listen to.
