On the shore this morning I watched 2 small boats of fisherman throw their nets.
It was still dark, and their figures were highlighted by the lights from the east of fort myers beach. I wondered if they caught anything..
My dog made me run..the sun was rising.... ( gosh..this sounds like a Movie plot )
Have a great week.

Oct 6- Oct 14

Hearing about 9 degree weather from my family in montana it is hard to believe we are on the same planet..here on the islands we are at 93 degrees and longing for 88 degrees..
We do have a promise of a cool front coming in this coming Sunday which should make Oct 20th the day we will begin our fall weather.

Beach walks- My  mid- Island beach walks are becoming more populated. I saw 3 people this morning at 6:45  along with a friendly dog, a crab and a sun glow. The sun was a brilliant orange and I still gasp when I reach the end of the walkway and reach sand and look to my left..

Season is coming....Our location is so wonderful here at 1019 Periwinkle Way...we have had several walk-in prospects this week resulting in showing properties.
 Interest rates remain very low and the mood is  of " great anticipation"...we expect a good season . See you next week
From my window looking out over bouganvilla and palms...all looks good from here. I am very lucky.
