March Madness SIT Style

March 2017

It is April 1^st 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.

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.

 Going for the Green

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.
