Summer Rains - New Projects - TV Shows - Nature - Cruising

Auburndale, FL (Hi 88  Lo 80)

We're in the summer pattern of rains in the afternoon about 3:00 we have rain/storms everyday. It can be sunny and pouring rain at the same time. The temperatures drop about 10 degrees in very short time then the humidity goes up. It's Florida and it hasn't changed since we were here in the 70's.

I have been working on new projects. Someone had a cute crocheted nurse on Facebook. It didn't take long to make her.  I'll give her to the nurses station at hospice on Monday. The letters are Good Shepherd Hospice. I try to work at least two days a week sometimes three days when nothing is going on and I'm pacing the floor.

I also crocheted an eagle for the tree in village set.
 




The tree is in the bottom part. I'm adding people, kids, figures all the time. It will be a fun ongoing project. I'm also making more roads and even a ski slope. Fun stuff.

We're always looking for new shows on TV for daily and evening watch. I do puzzles, crocheting and computer games while watching if the show isn't something you have to watch every second. We watch series like a new one on Amazon Prime, Modern Love. Our son told us about it and we're glad we started watching, it's very good. There's so many new shows on Netflix. It's been fun checking out all the channels till they get normal TV shows and the people back on set. We're hooked on another season of ALONE, which is a great reality show, with people in the Artic staying totally alone for 100 days for one million dollars.  We'll continue finding interesting shows.

Speaking of interesting, we're watching a lot of animals and birds in the canal. Two of the alligators are lingering all week in the back of the house. A huge turtle has been close to the house. One turtle laid eggs in a yard in the community. We're hoping nothing gets them and they will hatch.

The Sandhill cranes have been in the back for a few days. They're really noisy and lets you know they're here. We also have mallards visiting lately.

Baby birds are growing up and finding food on their own this week. Nothing better then watching nature.

We had a day of talking to our travel agent to get the next cruise with the family setup. Last week we should have gone and it was cancelled so we're trying again for June 2021. We also have word that we can now plan our flights to Europe for May 2021. We're going to have a very busy summer next year, adding in the grandkids graduations in May. We're hoping cruising gets going soon. See you next week.

My favorite place in the world is my front porch. Love watching the birds, ducks, occasional rabbit run by (drives Biscuit Beagle nuts). And soon the deer will be back to eat all our apples and pears off our trees. The birds take care of the figs if we don't get them first.

But no alligators, thank you! An occasional snake and loads of frogs in our pond instead.
