Two trips to Blue Run Park in Dunnellon!


 There are so many great places to hike here in North Central Florida and I catch myself, saying 'OH...this is my favorite trail'. Is it OK to have more than one favorite?


A couple of weeks ago John and I spent some time at Blue Run Park. 


We'll go back soon for a longer hike but I just have to share the highlight of our stop at Blue Run Park.


Athena the Mermaid


Is there anything more delightful than meeting a real life mermaid?

She was delightful and the sweetest young lady you'll ever meet. 


And of all the 'sightings' I've had at Blue Run Park, this may be one of the most memorable!


A couple of months ago when my son, D. was here we spent a couple of hours at Blue Run Park and I got a lot more bird photos.


White Ibis


Limpkin


Moorhen


And my favorite, a Little Blue Heron!

This hike had a memorable moment too. My son shimmied up a tree and shook down some oranges.


I wasn't sure if an orange growing in the wild would be sweet but it was the sweetest orange I've ever tasted.

If you live in this part of Florida or want to visit, be sure to spend a day at Blue Run Park in Dunnellon. 

Check out the link HERE ! You'll love it! 

You just never know what you'll see!

Talented People!


When I go to Arts and Craft Fairs I am amazed at the talented people in this world! And right here in my community. I got a chance to go to TWO Craft Fairs last weekend!



First lets see what I didn't buy but really wanted! lol 


The fairies! 


I got to meet Susan Snodgrass and she is an amazing artist, creating fairies and mermaids out of porcelain. 


 I fell in love with every one of them!


The mermaid in the tea cup was very special.


But this one was my favorite!

(they were a little out of my price range but worth every penny!)


What I DID buy was a pretty quilt for my doll room.


Isn't it fun with all the cute little dresses appliqued on!


And 2 smaller square quilts (36" square) with hand embroidery. 


I got to meet the quilt artists too and they were both amazing!


Of course a craft fair isn't complete without some clever finds and jewelry! What fun I had! 

Something to be thankful for this week!

Have you been to a Fall festival yet?
