Most of us who live in the Sunshine State have friends and family residing in other parts of the country and who keep us posted on the weather up north. We are hearing that it is time to ‘layer up’ as people in the Midwest start seeing 30-degree temperature fluctuations on a daily basis. In the New England mountains, the tourists are making reservations to celebrate the ‘turning of the leaves’ and to see Mother Nature’s riot of color take over the hardwood landscape.
We are a little subtler down south. We are still many weeks away from turning off the air conditioning and opening the windows. One of the gifts of the ‘hurricane season’ are the summer storms that push the warm waters of the gulf stream up closer to our coast. Our late summer rainstorms are short and sweet, but are responsible for the major growing season for most native Florida plants. We can rival any rain forest around! It’s a great time to visit Fort Pierce, especially if you favor the relaxed and tranquil pace before the ‘snowbird’ season blooms as the temperatures drop ‘up north’. It’ll feel like summer for a few more months. Come on down and let us show you around.
