It is April 1st and I am trying to imagine what
ever happened to March. It’s a good thing I take pictures every now-and-then
otherwise I think I would forget what we have been up to the past month.
We haven’t been playing basketball but have managed to play
some golf and take a few walks in a couple new areas that aren’t very far from
home.
We went hiking around a lake that is just off the highway
out of town from us. It is a place called the Indrio Savannahs which has about
3 ½ miles of paths. It is a great birding area as well as a catch and release
fishing spot. We didn’t bring our poles but we did encounter a gentleman that
told us about the Scrub Jays. He gave us some sunflower seeds and said if you
start talking they might just come and eat.

Well that was all Steve needed to start talking like a bird
(we won’t go into it any more than that) but you know it worked. One was brave
enough out of about six that were hanging out to come feed from his hand.
Pretty cool! When I tried they stayed away. I would like to think it was
because they were all too full and not that there was this crazy short person
making noise.
Thanks for the seeds mister
Another week we hiked this other area that is only a few
miles from our place. Izzy came with us this time and had fun sniffing the new
territory. We didn’t see any unusual wildlife but did find interesting bowls
along the path. It is all that remains from a palm tree living there.

Heading to the car
Vero Beach had a great car show one weekend so we ventured
out. There were a lot of cars there and some we had never heard of before. A
few were for sale but just weren’t in our price range. I could have taken many
more pictures but didn’t want to be there until midnight. Here are just a few of
the eye candy!

One of the times we played golf we managed to play the Lakes
Course at Sandridge Golf Club. We have played at Sandridge a few times since we
have been back but it has been on their Dunes course. We decided to splurge and
play The Lakes on our wedding anniversary. We had fun and tried to stay out of
the water, especially where this guy was cruising.

I tackled another small project and gave a lamp a new look.
The lamp was a light tan colored (wood) with a sunflower lamp shade. You are
probably thinking thank goodness this girl can paint! Me too!
I also gave this frog a fresh look as well – he was pretty
sad looking and had suffered an injury thanks to Izzy. Needless to say he now
has a wooden arm! Izzy didn’t mean to break his arm off and of course licked
him to make him feel better.

Well we did other things in-between but be grateful I don’t
take pictures of everything -every day! SIT is winding down our time in Florida
and will be “on the road again soon.” Stay tuned for the trip west.
