A Little Cocktail Cruise

Night Heron

Saturday was such a beautiful day.  We thought we had plans but they all fell through. So……

Might as well go out for a little cocktail cruise to Mason Creek and share some photos with you!

We always rouse up a few dogs that need to guard their waterfront. And here’s Ethel in action!

Nope, won’t pull up to your dock!

This one doesn’t seem too interested in us.  Might stop by and say hi to this guy in the future.

Our route takes us by La Casa of Mason Creek, looks like a wedding is planned for this evening!

A bald eagle! Thought they would have headed north by now!

So we headed back, and, yes, there is a wedding!

OH no, wedding gawkers. Or perhaps the paparazzi!

A nice wrap up of our day!

Happy April 15th.

Tax Day.

But not really, tax day this year is Monday, the 18th.  Something to do with this being a holiday in Washington DC.  So if you’ve been rushing to get those taxes done, you got ALL weekend.

To slave away and crunch those numbers!

Or you should just get them done today and enjoy this great spring weather.

This week I rescued these little opossums.

I found them in the middle of the road nestled up to their mom that had had a bad connection with a vehicle.

It made me very sad.

Terry and I put them in a box and took them to the Homosassa Wildlife Park.

I was really afraid they’d say, sorry, no more ‘possums.  Got our limit.

Then I’d have to raise them myself.

But the ranger at the front desk got on the radio and said “We have an animal donation!”

And then I was very happy!

Yay for the Homosassa Wildlife Park!

She also said that they were old enough that there was a 100% chance of survival and that they would be released back into the wild.

Yay!

I’ve named this one Feisty. He was spitting and hissing the whole time.

They’ll probably come visit me when they grow up.

I’ll be looking for them!

Have a great weekend!

Happy Weekend!

What great weather!  April is my favorite month!  Every thing is being renewed.

Yesterday we had a bit of a torrential downpour.  But that lasted a very short time and the sun came out and life was beautiful again.

See this rose?

Took the pic in the early am….

The first rose bud since I cut everything back to repair the trellis.

And the same rose in the late afternoon….

And that’s what it’s like in Florida in April. (Almost worth July and August)

So what’s going on this weekend?

I have no idea!  I’ve blocked it all out.  I already have plans!

I’m headed to Cedar Key for “Mermaid Weekend”.

It’s also the same weekend as the Cedar Key Arts Festival.  

I’ll be there!

Maggie and Terry will be holding down the homestead.  Fortunately, Maggie just sleeps because Terry will be watching the Masters!

Have a great weekend!
