Today’s weather was a clone of Sunday’s. Overall it was a nice sunny day with high a temperature in the upper half of the eighties. There were no thunderstorms today, but some are in the forecast for later in the week.

This afternoon I drove to a little county park on the side of a creek leading into the Matanzas River. The river is the Intercoastal waterway in this area between the mainland and the barrier islands. The park is primarily a boat launch area, but it also has a paved trail and some benches. The tide was out so the water level was low. There were mud flats and what looked like oyster beds in view. I walked the trail along the creek and sat on the bench and watched the birds on the far side of one of the tidal flats.

The RV park continue to empty from the weekend crowd today. Everybody was up early since today was lawn mowing day. They seemed to get started before eight this morning. I could hear the sound of the mower in the distance as early as 7:30. Before I dragged my sleepy body out of bed the lawn mower sound was right outside my open windows. I let the sounds of a nice hot shower block the noisy lawn mower sound, but my day began a little sooner than I wanted.
