Happy Thanksgiving from Florida

It's just the best time of the year here in Florida!

And this week I'll share the 'yard birds' I've seen around the house!

These turkeys were hanging out on the golf course.

You can see how many leaves have fallen from the Poplar tree this week.

Their feathers are so beautiful.

But they better stay on the run to avoid the roasting pan this week!

We had a wonderful surprise when we looked out back and saw a big flock of Robins.

They usually show up on Christmas day.

But this year they were early and it sure lifted my spirits to stand outside and watch them. And isn't my neighbor's Poinsettia gorgeous!

We had a Great White Egret walk through the neighborhood.

He's across the street in these photos.

And a small flock of White Ibis even showed up for the holidays.

Have a wonderful Thanksgiving Day and a blessed week.

A Taste of Fall!

 

We've had some nice Fall weather lately and this week I stood in my courtyard and took a few photos looking onto the golf course.

When we are fortunate to have time at home we spend some of it in the lanai.

And this is the view looking out at my neighbor's Yellow Poplar tree in all of it's fall glory!

It's been beautiful but my days are spent doing 'have to' things lately.

Our Camellia is blooming like crazy right now too!

And we've had little Warblers flitting around,

as well as our neighborhood Mockingbird!

But we've always loved living on the golf course and having such beautiful views.

We had one really long day at the cancer center this week and Ron was able to get a full chemo treatment...8 hours long! He's been weak and tired the rest of the week but we are hopeful the treatments will have good results. Thanks for your continued prayers and for your friendship! It sure makes a difference in my life. I so enjoy reading your blogs too and will comment when I can.

Have a beautiful weekend!

 Lots of hugs, Diane
