We had a cool night last night. Had to start the furnace this a.m. Colder temps really set me back here in south Florida. The temps stay warm and pretty predictable for a long while then suddenly there is a dip and the wind from the north kicks up. It becomes snuggle in time and yet, compared to the northern states, it is not really cold. We are whimps. I walked to church this morning here in the park. I enjoy going to this service occasionally since they sing many of the old hymns that I grew up hearing my mom sing. Many I have sang with her when we used to sing duets and trios at funerals and weddings.
After church, I went down to Sak's Fifth Avenue. Did that get your attention?? Those that know me well, will wonder why would she do that? There was a wonderful small exhibit of wildlife and floral prints from the Oppenheimer collection. I met a woman there who was friends with Joel Oppenheimer and has a dozen or so of those huge watercolours. They are worth a fortune. She tries to protect them from the possibility of hurricane and tornado when she leaves by placing them on her bed covered wtih plastic. Sounds a bit iffy to me but I guess that is all she can do if she wants to enjoy them here in Florida.
I thought you might enjoy this photo of the Black Pearl anchored out in the Imperial River where I went kayaking. I couldn't find Johnny Depp though.
We had a royal visitor here at Lake San Marino a few days ago. My sister took his picture and I am posting it here for you to enjoy. He stayed with us for quite a long while and allowed many people to photograph him. He is a symbol of Godliness, power, beauty and new beginnings. Since it is Spring and since we are all in transition preparing to leave this our winter home, it seems appropriate that he stopped by to grace our community with his presence.
