Well one of those doctor days. I had to go to the cardiologist for a 6 months check-up. He said I was doing good and didn't think I had but little damage from the heart attack and the cardiac arrest back in April. I did gain 6 pounds and he said I was supposed to be losing not gaining weight. So I thought that was a good report from him.

In and around the park

The Sandhill Cranes were nice enough to let me get up close today. The shortest one is about 7 months old.

I just love the way the moss hangs in the trees here in the south. Of course when to much moss gets on the trees it kills out the tree,which is not good.

Progress?

I used to like walking by this spot. There was a large orange groove here. Now there is going to be a new Home Depot in its place.

So many different types of berries.

So many types and colors of flowers when you take a walk. The things that you seem to notice if you just take the time to slow down and enjoy them.

Duck or Hen?

These,whatever are always walking through the park. I call them a ugly duck. My wife says they're not a duck they're some kind of hen.
I guess we'll have to ask someone that knows.

Just another sunset over Orchid Lake here in the park.

10:30 am----Well its all most time to walk. While most of the people on the east cost is having a bad time with the storm we are wearing our shorts when we go for a walk. It is 76* right now.
I've got to hurry. After all it is Saturday and you know that means college ball games today.

This pond has been cleaned out and made deeper. I keep waiting to see an alligator in it but,there hasn't be any yet. If there is any size of water in Florida there is usually an alligator in it.

Here it is December already. Where does the time go?
As we get older time seems to fly by. I can remember when I was young and waiting to get my drivers license I didn't think I would ever get to be 16 years old. Then the next long stretch was trying to get to be 21. Well those times have come and long gone. These days time is going fast. So you just have to make every minute count. Nancy and I enjoy our time,whether we are on the road or whether we are sitting still in a campground or boondocking. As far as having something to do,we always try to keep doing. We have found out that this is better than sitting inside and doing nothing.
Speaking of getting out we have to go to the laundromat once again today. So that will take up some time.
