It’s hard to imagine blooming flowers near Christmas time. Our temperatures normally run around 52 degrees for a low and 72 degrees for a high (Fahrenheit), with cold snaps seldom reaching freezing which allows flowers like these to help color the holiday season. Though these temperatures may seem “cold” to Floridians, people up north mustContinue reading “Winter Wonder”

Let There Be Lights
Halloween and Thanksgiving are memories; Christmas lies ahead. Now its time to savor and enjoy the spirit of the season. #christmas #lights #holidayseason
Friends in Magic Places
We spent Christmas with family at Disney Coronado Springs and had a lovely time walking, talking, playing games, and dining. We didn’t go to any of the theme parks, we didn’t have to; we were already with the happiest people on earth! #christmas #disney #holidays #family

Sky Delights and Christmas Lights
On a recent walk through the neighborhood after sunset, Venus and the crescent moon winked through gaps in the trees as we took in the local Christmas decorations. We were quite delighted by both. #venus #moon #christmaslights #christmas #evening
First Arrivals
Yesterday morning our first goldfinches of the season were spotted at the feeder. They always arrive between Thanksgiving and Christmas and brighten the season even though they are in their drab, winter plumage. I can’t help wondering if they are as excited to arrive at their winter home as we are to see them. #winterContinue reading “First Arrivals”
Christmas Spirits
The decorations and the tree are up and shining with Christmas spirit. Of course, a little snack and one of our favorite beverages also has us bubbling. #christmas #spirit #sparklingwine #chirstmastree
