Vero Lake: Living in the Country here in Florida

  I love living here! I love seeing cows each day! Cows, horses, cattails, turtles, dirt roads, eagles, even a missing goat last week in my neighborhood. I love seeing all these animals and living in the country. We really are blessed living in Indian River County. It is one of the best kept secrets in Florida!  God is with us! 

  I love seeing all the critters around here! It is a nice feeling to see so much wildlife here. Eagles, owls, sandhill cranes, turtles, rabbits, blue jays, cardinals, squirrels, butterflies, red headed woodpeckers, so much wildlife here and it is so nice to see! I just love the turtles! I have bird feeders setup so always see many birds. It is always a blessing to see God's critters out and about! 

I love seeing all the wildlife around my house. Each day I see turtles, cardinals, blue jays, squirrels, etc. Yesterday I saw the pair of sand hill cranes again. They make a very loud screeching noise. They are very graceful creatures! The other day I saw this turtle again, I see him often, he goes in the road and all, a guy on the bike was screaming and cussing about the overbuilding here, as they are building new houses down the road and doing a lot of backhoe work, he feels bad for the turtles being displaced as do I. It is sad. I have seen so many eagles and owls here, but they keep cutting down more of their habitat and where will they be able to live soon?  While it is nice to live in the country, it is worrisome to see so much of the woods and animal habitat being taking down to build more houses, too bad they wouldn't put a moratorium on it for a while. We really are enjoying all the wildlife here and are grateful to God for all the visits from all of God's creatures ea...

  I just love the little pond by our house and then the lake right next to it! Love all the tall pine trees and all the Florida Holly trees with the red berries still. I hope I can grow some around my house. I love all the dirt roads and trails and to be able to walk around the pond and lake. It is nice to see turtles, cardinals, owls, squirrels, and all the beauty from God right in our own backyard.  I love my hikes around our neighborhood, even my bike rides, we are so blessed to live in such a beautiful and quiet country-like living! Feeling so so blessed here with all of God's creations here!
