Um, April Showers?....

....y'all better bring some awesome May Flowers because 

OMG THE RAIN!!!!

Since we just moved here in December, we haven't seen all of the seasons here on our property.
Just Florida's version of winter, and now the beginnings of Spring.

It's fun to watch the land change and transform.

One big change is A FERN INVASION.  They are everywhere.

We planted caladium and they are just beginning to sprout.  

I love little elephant ears!

 I've watched these spiky purple flowered weeds grow and had no idea they were such butterfly attractants.
They were surrounded by butterflies on my walk today.  Most of them flew away when I approached, but this one wasn't budging.

This bee wasn't deterred either!

 I sat by the creek for a long time, reading my Kindle book and just enjoying the quiet and the fresh air.

Have I told you lately that I LOVE my home?

Sundays in my City - Coco

This weekend we leash -walked a bunny.

We wanted the bunny to have some outside time but of course, couldn't just let her roam free.  I bought her a collar, but still was a little nervous; she's so little, what if the collar slid off?
We have a fenced area which we call a kennel.  The dogs go in there occasionally.  Elayna and I decided to bring her out there to walk around, just in case the collar was too loose and slipped off.

The collar fit fine and it all went well.  Coco hopped around all over the place; she obviously LOVED being outside!

It's funny how much personality
a quiet little bunny can have.
And she's only bitten me twice.

Random pic of mushrooms,
which I like to call Smurf Houses.

One more Bonus shot - I looked out the window the other day to see the hill just behind our house,
COVERED with cardinals.  Some females but mostly gorgeous, bright red males.
They were SO pretty! I scared a few away but managed to get a pic of several of them.

it's like a trip around the world, without ever leaving your living room!

Speaking of UM - last week on SIMC I posted the photo below.  Claudya (Unknown Mami) loved it so much and she suggested I print it out and display it in my home.  I've never displayed my own photos before (except for people pics) but she made me feel SO good - so I did it!   I have an 8x10 in the process of printing right now.

What do you think? Display-worthy?

Southern Comfort Zone

My home is now in the woods.

Far back in the woods.....

.....right smack in the middle of nowhere.

it's incredibly peaceful, comforting, quiet....

and beautiful.

{Mackenzie loves it.}

It's my Southern Comfort Zone.
