Its supposed to rain over the weekend. I am really in the mood for a week or two of sunshine. Today, the day started off with clouds, evolved into rainy drizzle in Jackson, then the sun came out. The sun poking through the clouds caught my eye and I felt better despite the ups and downs I had suffered through the day. I hope tomorrow is a bit more sunny throughout the day.
In the past few years, when we were in Apalachicola, it only seemed to rain at night, if it rained at all. The days were sunny and warm enough to walk down the beach and watch the dolphins play at the cut. There was boiled shrimp in the refrigerator and beer to drink and the oysters were fresh and tasted of salt water and the smells of the bay. Cut with the sharpness of cocktail sauce.
I love months with "r's". What a gift. What a gift.
On Sunday, we will take a right into the marshes from SR 17 and head down to Folly Island and the coast of Carolina. As the sun goes down over the water and the pale blue sky is replaced with a purple coverlet, we will watch the stars come out and smile. The breeze will kick up. I will fall asleep to the sound of the waves pounding the beach.
Even a little rain won't spoil the week. Just go inside the oyster bar, watch some college football and down a few beers. There are too many positive factors for the equation to go wrong. Sit and smile.
