Happy, Happy…(it is Wednesday, isn’t it?)

So, it’s a beautiful day. Sunny and warm. Just like spring should be in “The Sunshine State”.

I potted some red geraniums on the front porch a couple of days ago…I LOVE red geraniums…they are such a happy flower. Now, I’m trying to find a good spot for my bird feeders…I miss my red cardinals so.

I also need to find a good spot for my roses - not on the back porch, though - Axel loves to eat my plants - and I don’t think the thorns would deter him at all…oh well, that’s my Axel Barbarian! (emphasis on the “barbarian” part). He’s made mince-meat of a couple of gardenias I was getting ready to plant…mainly to cover the “big dog scent” that’s taking over the porch area….I guess he didn’t want me to plant something that would make things smell “pretty”…barbarian that he is!

I can’t believe that this coming Sunday is Easter. This year is already going by so fast…at least spring is on the way! :-)

Now I can become completely obsessed again with my flowers and songbirds…and forgo my obsession with rum raisin ice cream and butterfinger cones!

I still haven’t made it to yoga class…I will, though. I can feel the yoga-ish-ness building. I think yoga will also be one of my springtime obsessions…

Anyway, Happy Wednesday. Happy, happy - it’s almost Easter, so springtime is officially here, and I’m gonna be a rose-planting, bird-watching, yoga-doing, obsessed Florida girl…yea! Happy Wednesday! Happy, happy - I’m not gonna be a hibernating-cuz-it’s-too-cold, sad because it’s too cloudy, Jewel-listening, rum raisin eating, non-yoga doing, just as obsessed only with the wrong stuff, Florida girl!

(Of course, my obsession with Starbucks is multi-seasonal…What? I can’t be expected to be a total chameleon! Great espresso makes a cold/dreary day warmer and a bright and sunny day that much brighter and sunnier!) :-)
So, Happy Wednesday…and peace out.

Happy “Moss Park” Wednesday!

…so, we’ve been working on our “C3 Day at Moss Park“, so we’ve been making several trips out there.

Being a “practical native” (I moved here when I was one) of Central Florida, I am always drawn to the indigenous and undeveloped parts of this area…there are so few left!

At Moss Park, I’m taken back to my childhood, when so much of Central Florida still was covered in palmettos and live oaks with weeping moss…

I’m so glad there are protected areas (thank you, Teddy Roosevelt!) where my children and grandchildren will be able to experience Florida the way that I remember it as a child - wild and untouched…

This morning, we saw a dozen wild turkeys, 10-12 deer and, of course, the red eyed cranes were EVERYWHERE!

So, “C3 Day at Moss Park” (now scheduled for the last Sunday in March - March 30th) will be a beautiful time for our community of faith to unwind and get to know each other in a relaxed setting…it’s going to be an awesome day!!

Pictures are coming soon…

until then:

Happy, Happy Wednesday! :-)
Peace out.
