June has rolled in hot and humid, and not much rain yet on Pine Island. I did enjoy a nice (early morning) horse back ride out today with my friend Laura, but it was too hot to stay out more than 2 hours. The horses enjoyed a nice bath. The Royal Poinciana are blooming like crazy all over the island in the most beautiful combination of pale pink and tangerine orange. Pine Island is a beautiful, rural island, unlike any other island I know of in Florida.
