Lake Florida Sunset 2-8-12
February 9, 2012 by
I told you we were going in search of new sunset spots and yesterday we did. At 5:20 we left and went through the Environmental Learning Center the back way.

One of our great resort guests (& friend) Betsey, informed me that yesterdays sunset had a January date on it! So sorry-guess I’m not ready for summer yet. With the weather we’ve been having it seems as though it should still be November. Yesterday was another nice day with the temperature getting to 28 degrees […]
The beautiful Frost
February 5, 2012 by
Today was a beautiful day. We woke up to all the trees covered in frost. We’re very thankful we aren’t getting all of the snow like Colorado, but we sure could use some! Bob put the snow blower on the tractor today (just in case!) It was pretty cloudy all day so no sunset to […]
