There’s something blocking our view. What we found in our front yard this morning!!! Is this a good place for the word “gobsmacked”? ❤️❤️❤️

We have no idea. Well, we do have a couple of ideas. We live in the best neighborhood and have the best neighbors! 🥰

Just wow! And thank you—whoever you are. You have totally made this milestone extra special. ❤️

Time out from wild things for a little wild news.

Time out from wild things for a little wild news. We were a May-December marriage. Met in May and married in December in Northern Michigan snow. The big 5-0 seemed thousands of miles away back then. I don’t think we ever thought about it. But now …

The Kings have left the Cousins after a whirlwind and memorable Michigan Thanksgiving that circled from Detroit to Dewitt to Wolverine to Olivet and now back to Detroit.

My daughter and family live in the little retirement home on Big Creek that my in-laws built when she was just a babe. She’s kind of become the family historian, adorning her garage with memorabilia that used to adorn ours. She also inherited the old farm bell when we moved to Florida. (Including a couple miscellaneous country snaps to hold me until next time.)

Definitely beautiful. But I’m okay to not live with it any more. An annual visit is enough. ❄️⛄️🌨🌲

Good Friday morning. Sitting outside guarding Gray

Good Friday morning. Sitting outside guarding Gray Kitty’s food from the likes of these who come around every morning to steal it if they aren’t caught in action. This sweetie showed up a couple weeks ago and has been hanging out. Never eats much. The last couple early mornings it’s been curled up on a rocking chair on our patio. Super sweet. We need to see if we can scoop it up to check for a chip. I was able to pick him up once…but not after I’d just shoo’d the ducks.

Walked out behind our neighborhood tonight. (See previous post.) Critter count: 4 bicyclists, dragonflies, bees, a spider, a couple camera-shy birds, and a tricolored heron overhead, probably headed to our backyard. No bobcats or gators or boars. Not even an iguana.

So that over there is the Everglades. And on my right is our neighborhood. That’s how close we actually are. We’ve finally heard about a path we can cross over. On the docket for the weekend. Not with the dog. Lions and tigers and bears… oh my. Or bobcats and wild boars and coyotes.

And the stork went a-storking. Good Saturday morning, Sir.

“Since Poets have told of sunset, What is left

“Since Poets have told of sunset,
What is left for me to tell?
I can only say that I saw the day
Press crimson lips to the horizon gray,
And kiss the earth farewell.”

Big Iggy. This dude just stopped by for a Sunday visit. I managed one snap before splashdown. He’s a bigger scaredy-cat than the smaller bright green ones that hang out here.

Yesterday was my husband’s birthday. So I took him hiking and found him a gator. I didn’t put a bow on it, though.
