Absence Makes the Heart Grow Fonder

 

It's so good to be back from Vacation!

It was great to get away and it's wonderful to be back.  Seeing things like squirrels and pine cones and magnolia flowers was a treat. I could watch the silly squirrels for hours.  The very best thing was spending time with family. 

But getting back home and seeing palm trees and coconuts and blue, very blue, water reminded me that I already live in an idyllic location.

It's our rainy season here in Key West and big gray rain clouds will appear on and off during the day, but the golden coconuts shine even more brightly against the gray sky.
