The Christmas tree is decorated. The cookies are baking. Shoppers are scurrying for the perfect gifts. In many places it has already been snowing for weeks...and here in Florida, well...let me just tell you the story... We went to the zoo a week or so ago and I saw something unexpected as we were driving down the road I made my husband stop so I could get a picture...
FALL COLORS!!! The leaves are finally starting to change colors...very few leaves. We don't have many deciduous trees to begin with, so any time I see any color that is out of the "ordinary" palm green color, I take notice. And when it's the oranges and reds of fall...I stop in my tracks. I was so excited to see these leaves I think my family was beginning to think they needed to refresh their memory on where the nearest psychiatric ward was.
It's one of the few things I miss about living up north (very few things). That and snow at Christmas...just Christmas though ...the lights are so pretty shining on it. Palm trees wrapped in colored lights just aren't the same...they scream "JIMMY BUFFET LIVES HERE!!!"...but he really doesn't. I digress...
It was nice to see some fall color...even if I had to wait for Christmas to see it. After living here for...how many years now?...I didn't realize that we had leaves that changed colors so "close to home." Now if I could just find a place where it snows close by that I didn't know about... Oh well...I'll be content with the leaves for now.
Hi, Here in Indiana, we just had the last of the snow melted off, just before it got cold again. It is 22 degrees this morning. I am getting ready to go for my morning walk. Naturally, I dress in layers and very warm.
I hope you get a little bit of snow for Christmas.
Welcome to my blog...Why "gidget"? Well...my husband tried to teach me how to surf before we were married. I was lousy at it, but he called me his "gidget" and the name stuck.
Why "Treasure Trove"? I love sharing about my sweet little "treasures"...and God has blessed me beyond measure....and no, I didn't mean that to rhyme.
