Swimming Under the Stars

Swimming Under the Stars

We have been doing a lot of swimming .....even at night under the stars !

So lovely ...looking up at the stars, while the palm trees sway in the breeze...we feel so fortunate to be able to spend time here enjoying the beauty and relaxation.

Winter in Florida

Wow....It has been awhile since I posted to my blog!

We have spent the past few months in Florida - the weather was cooler than usual here but it has warmed up to seasonal temperatures recently.

Despite the cooler temps we have really enjoyed our winter!

Our condo is lovely and very comfortable.

We back onto a canal which provides us with a source of constantly changing wildlife viewing ... birds, fish, turtles and yes ...even alligators!


One 'gator has decided our lawn is a perfect place to sun himself...he vists frequently and this week we actually saw him catch a fish and chomp it down!

Exciting...when viewed from the safety of our lanai!

Little Swinger Sophia

Here is a page I finished today - Sophia swinging on the swings in Heather and John's back yard after Jack's birthday in November.

Some Scrappin' Fun

I hadn't posted for awhile so decided I would post some layouts I did at the "Crop Till You Drop" @ Photo Metro last Friday night. I found this paper in my stash and it matched perfectly with the sweater that Ava was wearing. These are pictures of her and Jack playing outdoors in their back yard after Jack's birthday party in November. I think the title says it all....Beautiful Girl!
Now all I need are pictures of Sophia's - "Disco Dance" birthday party last weekend!

Here are a couple of pictures of our cute little black-capped chickadees flitting and flying around the feeders on the front veranda... snacking on black oil sunflower seeds

First Snowfall

Well....it's arrived !!
We had our first snowfall beginning yesterday afternoon into this morning - it is pretty but unfortunately we know it is just the beginning of a long season of snowfalls!!
For those of you who like snowmen ..it's the perfect snow for building one - soft and sticky!

I don't know if you can see it in the pictures but there are a lot of deer footprints all through our back yard... along with some pine cone crumbs and cedar boughs pulled off the cedar on the left ...evidence that we had some nighttime visitors!
