Vero Lake: Living in the Country here in Florida

  Wow! What a quote! I love the writings of Charles Spurgeon! He is on point for sure! Today we have seen a lot of people out of hate end friendships. If you do not join their club of hate, they cancel you and dismiss you. I know it has happened to me, not by family, but from old co-workers and acquaintances that I have known a long time. Some of them all got the bug! They got TDS and are filled with hate and if you do not join them in their negativity, hate, and misery, they just call you too a fascist, Nazi, or whatever, because you refuse to be part of their hate club. I will follow Jesus, try to love all like Jesus the best I can and not join any hate clubs, it is not healthy and not what God wants. Sometimes you need to stay clear of haters and negative people who are deranged and living in misery.

I have seen him now for over a year around here. I have never seen such a huge yellow grasshopper before in my life. He doesn't seem to be afraid of me. The ones I am used to from New York were smaller and green. This one sure is unique and love to hang around here a lot! VLE living sure does bring a lot of nice wildlife and creatures and critters around where we live. It is a nice blessing from God! I really enjoy that about here where we live! Feeling so blessed! 

  I love when my friends come to visit! Especially this one! I have seen him come in my backyard many times. Usually when I am sitting on the lanai saying my rosary. Yesterday, I was in the backyard and he was there. He even let me get really close, stopped and stayed for a while. I always talk to him. I told him how pretty his shell design was as it had a tessellating hexagon shaped design on his back.  I use photos to teach me. I like to import them into GeoGebra software and then do the math on the photos using all the tools in GeoGebra. The turtle stopped and was still for a while so I took a few pictures or his back shell and on in front. He did not seem afraid. It is always a pleasure to see all the wildlife all around me here in Florida. I love seeing the ibis, the limpkins, the moorhens, even the other day when I was driving toward the beach I saw a small black bobcat cross the road on Orchid Island and run into the woods near the beach I go to. I  guess they ar...
