"A Beautiful Day in Florida"

Hi Everyone, I haven't posted in a bit, as it has been a very busy time. Thanksgiving was great, with family here and my youngest grandson stayed on a couple of days. We were very busy doing all sorts of fun things, including a couple of long and exciting Monopoly games! The weather is beautiful here right now.....at night in the 50's and about 70 during the day. My little garden is growing in spite of no rain in quite a while. I try to water the cabbage and broccoli plants at night, but that is not the same as a good drenching rain.
The bougainvillea is blooming now...it is in it's glory in winter.
The huge live oaks have now lost most of the acorns and the squirrels hate to see that happen, I am sure. The Spanish Moss sways in the breezes. You can see the shadows cast by the trees, so you know it is a nice sunny day here.
The little Hibiscus tree is blooming a lot, too. This time of year is the best in Florida. Do I miss snow? Not one bit! Wish you were here!

  1. Hi Egretta; we have loads of rain to spare if you would like some! In our West Country we have some of the worst flooding seen for many a long year.

  2. Glad you are back to blogging and that your book is almost finished. We are back in Florida for the winter and spring. We are so blessed to be where there is sun and warm weather.

  3. I love the little tree. It would never make it here, too cold. We need some rain, too. The mountains are even short of snow so far.

  5. Your bougainvillea photo is really nice and I love the purple-pink foliage plant in the photo with the sun on it; it looks very pretty. Your little hibiscus is doing great and the cabbages look really healthy. I think Nov to Jan is one of the best times of year in Florida!
