Wind

On a Clear Day you can See - St John

It's been a little hazy around here lately. The winds were blowing dust from Africa, without any rain to wash it away, it settles on the first thing that breaks up the air patterns... The Caribbean Islands.

But for the last two mornings, we woke up to rain. It clears off quickly, just enough to clean the air...

The shot above is pushing my camera to the max, but just beyond the boats in my bay, those are the houses on St John, about 10 miles from my deck...

This guy flew into our yard while I was taking the photos of St John.

A nice day

Into everyone's life, Some Rain must fall

It's comin...

I could sit and watch the clouds and the weather front rolling in from the west.

I have big plans for the day, but look what's rolling towards me...

But wait... Is That blue skies trying to fight off the rain clouds???

They were fighting...

But they lost.

No way to go for my morning walk...

So I made a loaf of Cinnamon Raisin Walnut bread

But in the afternoon, I went on a sun shiney walk!

Views out our Deck and the Sun Shines

It's been three days of clouds in paradise. The sun shined for a bit today, so I want to show off our beach and view from our deck...

Go out our door, down a half dozen steps and to the left are the lighted tennis courts.

To the right is the path to our beach...

Sadly, by the time Jackie got home from her even more inconvenient day job, the clouds were back.

But I hear the island is famous for it;s blue skies... just have to have a little patience, everything evens out!

In Everyone's Life, Some Rain Must Fall

New diggs - HOORAY

We are in our new permanent temporary home for the next 6 months (at least).

Haven't done a picture tour yet, because the weather sucks. Doesn't seem fair to me that Jackie only gets two days a week off, and then it rains on BOTH of those days.

But, here's what it looks like when it rains in paradise (out our NEW Deck... Imagine the view in nice weather)

6 AM (the view was the same the night before)

8 AM (the view is going to be the same all day)

But the good news, the day before, we went exploring and found a great new hangout for us...

Duffy's Love Shack, Red Hook, St Thomas!

Absolutely the best burger we have found on the island... and funky drinks in funky glasses

You will be hearing a lot about Duffy's
