Florida Impressions

Here the sun is grey in summer when ash from burning forests meet the noonday sun in the beaches.

Here impatience is a three-person queue at the cashier.

Here heavy traffic is a blissful non-stop slow coast-along.

Here there are no sounds of laughter or squeals from children in neighborhood streets.

Here the beautiful sound of rain is a quiet muffle behind glass windows.

Here the weather report is 50% of the news.

Here patches of earth with grass and a few trees is a park.

Here life is a soft breeze—almost perfect to all senses.

But nothing is more joyful and comforting than news from Home.
