Vero Lake: Living in the Country here in Florida

  It was so nice to see a beautiful cardinal on my walk tonight! So so red! Some pretty oleander too. The sky was nice too, you could see a sliver of the moon and a jet going by and then a nice sunset. They sure are making great progress on the houses they are building, they do go up fast here. Two big houses on a very small lot, so close to the other house. It is getting crowded. I love my birds and wildlife! 

  Some nice blooms this winter in my flower beds. Some are my poinsettia plants from Christmas pasts. This one was from a few years ago. I have a few and they are in bloom just in time for Christmas. I love all the flowers that grow around here! We are so blessed to live in such a country-like peaceful flowering place. What a blessing from God! Merry Christmas neighbors and friends! 

  I see this rusty turtle around here quite a bit. Today he came right up while I was close and starting eating my flowers/zinnias.  How bold of him! He is cute and it is nice to have these little critters come around here. We are blessed with so much nature here in VLE!
