I HATE WEEDING and think Mosquitos & Black Widows are unnecessary insects

Yesterday I escaped with my walking buddy Ellen as dawn was breaking. We headed over to the new Circle B-Bar Reserve at 7am to check it out & take some pictures.
It was beautiful & very peaceful until 9am when they started a guided tour of about 150 or more people.

We saw lots of birds..no other wildlife except a seaplane & airboat on the Lake.

It was beautiful & I will definitely go back early in the morning while it's peaceful.

We ducked out of their around 11:20 and stopped at Dunkin' Donuts for their Veggie Egg White Flatbread Sandwich & Coffee before heading to Lake Hollingsworth to watch the birds there and then onto Lake Morton.

This blood thirsty pair tried to attack both of us, a lady who was trying to feed them and her dog along with anyone walking by that side of the lake.

We were going onto Lake Mirror but I got a text asking to babysit Gavin so we headed back early.



Today is CLEANING & YARD WORK DAY...even though the weather rarely changes I have been conditioned to start dreaming about the garden come January.
So off to Lowes we went this morning and $100 later I have some new plants for around the waterfall, a slight sunburn and some minor cuts. All the while I continued to see little black widows hiding in the rocks they give me the creepies!





So I took a break to upload some photos while DH finishes concreting the last leak in the falls and start Caspers afternoon round of eye meds.
Back to the yardwork & laundry

Rays, Red Sox Game

Well it finally arrived last night after the Rays lost to the Red Sox, Autumn is here. We walked outside at 12:45 to wonderfully cool temperatures. Today the high temp was 80 degrees, it has been picture perfect.

I have photos from the nosebleed section of last nights game...while we had tickets for tonight's game we are not attending & will be watching from home later. Last night during the games we got a phone call that my husband's father & step-mother were in a terrible accident...a lady t-boned them while en route home from Illinois. They were in Jacksonville Hospital but were released and spent the night in a hotel until Larry arrived this morning. They had to wait until after church when the impound gentleman could open his lot & they could remove their belongings from their new car, it is TOTALED. Larry just arrived back home a few minutes after we did, we took the tickets to Lori who found a couple of folks that will be attending the game in much better seats than she & I had last night.

I promise to update the photos a little later tonight or tomorrow morning. I feel hung over from not getting home until 2:30 this morning so bear with me!
