Hello Sweet Friends!!
Today was an absolutely gorgeous day in central Florida, so me and Maddy
headed out. We had a couple of errands to run and then headed to a favorite
destination...a drive around Lake Monroe and a much slower drive
through the historic district nearby.
Everywhere we looked there were spring flowers laid out like a
magic carpet for us!! What a delight after our coldest winter in
several decades!!
The lake is quite large and feeds into the St. John's River. Today it
was glass-like and so very serene.
A bench overlooking the lake...won't you join me?
What is it about marinas? I have loved them ever since I was a child.
Our family owned a 31 ft. sailboat and sailed often.
Maybe it's the fun memories!! I think they also just imply
LEISURE; something most of us need more of!!
A little bit closer
More pretty blooms
Palm trees line the walkway next to the marina
A lovely knockout rose
And of course, we had to take in some historical homes!!!
Don't you love that window at the peak? Oh and the brick roads???
I think I have shown this one before...must be a fave of mine!
Love the front screened porch on this craftsman!
I have no idea what kind of tree this is, but it is really this bright yellow!!
Any of you know??
Well, hope you enjoyed our daytrip! We had a great time!
Tomorrow morning we are up and out of here early....
Know where we're headed???
YEP!!! You guessed it...
THE BEACH!!!!
YIPPEE!!!
Our first trip of the season!!
Don't worry! I'll catch some rays for you, too!!!
{s-m-i-l-e}
Gotta boost that vitamin D!!
Have a blessed Good Friday!!
Jesus did it all for you, you know?
Love you lots!!
Becky

Those flowers are beautiful and I love the old houses! Have fun at the beach!
ReplyDeleteGood Morning Becky,
ReplyDeleteBeautiful flowers you have shared, and I always enjoy seeing old homes. I am so glad that you are able to go to the beach and soak in that vitamin D. Our weather has broke too,though I don't live near the beach, (probably is a good thing as I would want to live there.) lol and like you we have had a very cold winter.
I also enjoyed reading your post, on your trip with other bloggers, what a wonderful time you all had, and such great company too. Blogging has certainly given all of us such sweet friendships.
I want to wish you and your family a most blessed and happy Resurrection Sunday.
Hugs,
Sue
