One of the many things that I like about living in Florida, many long years ago, were the hibiscus plants that were just about always in bloom. Being that they love humid weather, and we have very little of that around here, they are somewhat hard to grow...at least it is difficult to get them to flower. Undaunted by that fact, I have been trying for 10 years, with limited success. Yesterday I noticed that my little plant was looking really happy, and today as I went out to check on it there were 5...COUNT 'EM...1...2...3...4...5...blooms! The most that I have ever had at one time up to now has been 3.It may have looked a bit like Florida out there, but it didn't feel like it. This morning's low temperature was 48 degrees, after yesterday's high reached only 68. It is bright and sunny out there now, but we probably will only get to the upper 60s again today. Clouds will be building, and there may be an isolated shower or two late this afternoon or evening. Being that this is the last Sunday of the month, we will be holding our regular monthly contemporary service at 6 this evening, and we had planned to have it outside. We may have to re-evaluate that maneuver. Over the next few days the forecast will change very little, as it remains much cooler than normal for late August. The best bet to get wet, highest chance for rain showers, will come Tuesday. As a big cool trough of low pressure sits over us through midweek we will see highs just in the 60s through Tuesday, and then back up into the 70s for the second half of next week with sunnier and drier conditions.
