Settling Down In Paradise

Theresa and I usually take a week or more to get back to normal when we make the transition from home to Florida. This year with Henry Jr we were able to settle in quite well in  a few days. There is always more to do but for me the priority was to get the small garden planted.  I went the Home Depot and checked through the tomatoes and found four with double stems so that is all I purchased. Along with lettuce and beans will make up my efforts this winter.

Our other trees and doing well but because of watering problems our orange and grapefruit trees are in for a fight to survive. They are however doing well with new leaves popping out all over. We have to wait for the bananas to start new shoots before we will have a crop like we had this year. There is excellent weather with the temp around the eighties and that is good for growth as it is not too hot.

Seems a little strange with the absence of Doris but we talk to her often and she is doing well in her new surroundings. We can settle in now and begin to meet our old friends and enjoy the couple of months of healing and enjoyment of our winter home. Of course we have to get back to golf as well.
