Ahhh...Warm weather!

Hi Everyone,
It is now about 80 degrees and we are expecting a high today of 82. I love it! I've heard that when you move to Florida from another state, your blood "thins out" so you become acclimated to warm weather. Then when it does get cold, you freeze, even if it doesn't seem cold to your Northern friends. There must be a grain of truth to that because at 60 degrees, we put on flannel shirts and jackets. At 80, we are back in short sleeves and happy as larks!

Speaking of larks, yesterday when it warmed up, the birds on  this 5 and 1/2 acres were singin like crazy. I heard cardinals, mockingbirds, wookpeckers and doves to name a few. It is such a happy day to hear birds singing and see them enjoying themselves.


Below is a new Elephant Ear in my garden. It is really starting to grow. The droplets of water look nice, too.
The rose bushes have enjoyed the cooler temps, though and are blooming nicely. Roses do well in Florida, even though it is warmer, but when we get cooler temps and lots of rain, they put on a show!

  1. Hi to all again, when I tried to correct the misspelled words in my post, I could not do it. I had already published it and then discovered a couple of things to change. Usually it is no problem, but Blogger wouldn't let me do it. So I'm adding that to my blogger complaints. If anyone else is having trouble, let me know or is it just me? Egretta

  2. "Droplets of water on things" is one of my favourite themes! Hope you are enjoying your fine warm weather while the rest of us suffer..:(
    I have plenty of problems with Blogger, but not the one you mention.

  3. I had to come to your blog to see some lovely color and warm sunshine this morning. It is a snowy, icy morning here. What a lovely rose bloom.

  4. There's something about raindrops that look really pretty. I haven't noticed any blog changes. Maybe they are changing or upgrading things again, I hope not.
