Yesterday morning, I stepped outside to find a slight chill in the air.
Non-Floridians will perhaps not understand the excitement of this, but here in Florida, a slight chill in the morning air means that the blistering 100 degree summer days are coming to an end.
The chill was gone by 10 AM, replaced by sauna-like heat. Soon, the chill will persist a bit longer, and the heat will become milder, until, finally, Florida reaches the perfect combination of environmental conditions that make it the vacation hotspot that it is. It will be 60 degrees, sunny, and gorgeous, with a cool breeze, bright blue skies, large white clouds, and still green and lush and blooming with flowers.
Some people say that Florida doesn’t have a change of seasons. It does. Its seasons might not seem the same as other places, but they still exist — and Autumn in Florida is beautiful.
