Florida Weather At Last

What a difference 10 degrees makes. The sun shone and so did the landscape and peoples faces. We got up and out early this am as it was market day. Instead of very cold weather we were greeted with a sunny warm morning. We decided to do a few things we chose not to do during the cold spell.

The market was busy and the vendors seemed happier and more cheerful. Even the produce was better and in greater supply. Some of the vendors who did not show for a couple of weeks returned and it was just great.We buy fresh flowers every week and the Ladies are the best. They have words of advice for all and their flowers are beautiful. Three dollars buys you a bunch of carnations which will have at lest sixty buds. They sell out every week.

The market is dog heaven and there seems to be a dog for every couple. Next we went on the yard sale circuit. Good weather brought numerous people cleaning their homes and having a sale. My sole purchase was four pool cues for a buck.

Home and on our bikes for a trip to see our birds. There were two young eagles instead of only one. Mother was pouting and left the nest to watch her kids from a nearby tree. She looks worn out trying to feed the babies who are larger than she.

Finally to the owls who were invisible. No adults or even a sign of the yellow chicks. By then we had had enough so we decided to get home to do some work. I replaced a door handle on the lanai and built a magazine rack for the library (bathroom). It was so nice we decided to get the heat pump going after two weeks of rest so we can get swimming and back to our routine tomorrow.

Our day ended with a cookout on the barbie and some wine. Just another perfect day in Paradise.
