"The" Tree

Well, the Dad finally did it!!! He planted Mom's Avocado tree in the ground! As you can see, it is on the other side of our new patio. He says, it will give a lot of shade someday! Mom says....... hopefully, we will be living up North by the time it is big enough to give good shade! It has had some amazing growth since it has been put out in a more sunny place, and all the lower leaves were removed!

Not A Bit Of Life


It's all dead. Our beautiful bougainvilla,

My hiding place is dead!


The nice bush behind the shed,
Along side the driveway, It's all dead! Our two weeks of winter temperatures killed everything! We are not happy at all. But.............it will all get cut back this weekend. In a few months.........it will back! I say
WHATEVER! I don't have to clean it up! The yard man aka, Ralph, will do it!

My Hiding Place

Behind this bush, which is crawling up some wires, is my little hiding place! It is actually part of our patio. I often sit out here, enjoying my morning coffee, (in my night clothes), and enjoy the fact that no one can see me there. While in my hiding place, I do a lot of thinking, praying and learning. You say, learning? Yes. I do learn here! I am constantly observing all the little Florida critters that dare to venture on my patio. There can be a science lesson in my hiding place every day! Some lessons are great, some, not so. I believe my favorites, are the little geckos that run around. All different colors too, so much that I have actually given them nationalities! OK, OK, so I may be a bit nuts, but, I have earned the right to be that way! I figure while at home, I can be anyway I wish to be! So if you are ever looking for me, just check behind this bush.

Do You Know?

Does anyone know what kind of insect this is? It is about 1 1/2 " long, and wing span is about 2 1/4". The body is very colorful as you can see. Just wondering.

Funny Noises


Since we moved to Florida almost five years ago, I have been use to waking many a Saturday morning to a strange noise. It is this, right over our house! Those three lines are just part of the palm trees.
