Winter In Florida

We've finally had winter here in Florida. Our average temp has been about 45 degrees and most days have been sunny here in Orlando and I'm enjoying it. The pups love the cooler weather. And as you can see in these pics, the young squirrels are enjoying our Morning Glories and I don't mind sharing. :) I was watching this little boy out my kitchen window one cold morning..so sweet!

Hope everyone is staying warm and safe!

What I Will Not Miss About Florida

I will not miss seeing Alligators on the side of the road! We saw this one while driving to the main post office here in Orlando. I spotted it and we turned around, parked and got out to take pics. It never moved. It's mouth is open because that's how they cool off. These were taken in September, I believe.

They can move very quickly! I grew up on a lake and there were a lot of gators. If you live in Florida, you shouldn't allow your pups to wade in any body of water.

How do you feel about gators?

Is The Grass Greener on The Other Side?

The grass may be greener on the other side, but we have peanuts and fresh water on this side daily. :)

Happy Saturday to Everyone!

Florida's Crazy Weather

Here in Orlando it's normal to be wearing shorts & flip flops one day and a coat the next day. lol And that's exactly what's going on here this week! We hit 80 degrees one day and the next couple of days we were in the 40's. I don't mind the 40's as long as the sun is shining. :)

This is what I enjoy about the cooler weather. Nothing like getting cozy by the fire. My son is the best at getting a good fire started, he laughs at mine.:)

Hope everyone is staying warm & safe!

Our home in NC must have a fireplace.
All of us had it on our must have list. :)

Cypress Grove Park

Some of you may remember that hubby and I were married in a Rose Garden in Cypress Grove Park here in Orlando, FL.
This park is a great place to take walks, bring kids to the playground, have a birthday party, grill some good food, fish on the dock, they even have soccer fields and basketball courts, or you could even get married in a Rose Garden. :)
Kyle played soccer when he was five and this park is where all the games were held. Cypress Grove holds a lot of fond memories for us and it will be missed.
