OMG, Over 100 New Baby Horses!

Yes!

I did say over 100 new babies...

oops, I forgot to mention they are
SEAhorse babies

Our daughter raises seahorses and this morning

a new batch (or should I say herd)
was born
AND

 they got it on camera.

IT IS AMAZING TO WATCH!

ENJOY!

Home Away from Home

Which way home?

Where is home?

I kinda feel like the cowardly lion in the Wizard of OZ...

I just cross my arms and say "that way"

In many ways all of these are home to me

(isn't this just the greatest sign, a Christmas gift from my daughter and her husband)

Each place has it own personality.

It's own "way of life"

I have found leaving Michigan for the winter, the first time ever,

is teaching me a whole new way of living in southern Florida. 

Instead of Muck Boots I wear Garden Clogs

When I look out my window I see Palm Trees

not Pine Trees

Instead of Hot Coco

I enjoy Succulent Tea

I've traded a Purple Nose

for Purple Flowers

The roses I enjoy are in my garden

not from the grocery store

I make a salad with Lettuce from my Garden

 not from a Bag

My Herbs are fresh not bottled

Farm Life is a bit different too!

Now I collect Kitten Paws not Barn Cats

Seahorses have replaced Quarter Horses

I raise Quarter Horses,

my daughter raises Sea Horses.

What a place to be!

I am enjoying every minute of my new Florida Lifestyle

but I must admit I miss Michigan with it own unique wonders

I want to say a special  "thank you"

 to all of the bloggers that visited me upon my

return to blogging. 

 I was thrilled that so many of you,

that I felt a special connection with,

stopped by to say "hi and welcome back"

WOW!

I wasn't forgotten and that means so much.

Enjoy!

Happy Hello and A New Year

A New Year!

What will it bring?

One can never know.

I do know this past year has given me many gifts:

A granddaughter that brings me great joy.

The opportunity to become a "snowbird", living in Florida 5 months each year
 where my daughter, her husband, granddaughter, mom and dad reside.
 Four generations within 10 miles of each other.

The blessing of wonderful people that make that possible.
Thank you Jona and Joe. 

The friendship of so many

 within my actual community and 

 Bloggers from Everywhere in the World. 

This year I hope to revisit the friendships I have made by blogging.

  The past year I was "in and out" of blogging and it is not until recently that I realize that
 true friendships were made and I often  think about those that I "connected" with.

I must admit I was feeling that
"blogging"

 had changed so much in the past year that
 I could never return.

  I read about this blog or that blog and how many followers, advertisers and hits they have.

 If this is the new standard I am not a successful blogger.

Although I have realized we all blog for different reasons and the blog friendships I have made in the past 4 years
 are still blogging in the style that I started with.

I am stepping back into the "blogging ring"
 and I look forward to it. 

 I will not feel the pressure to "blog" unless it comes straight from my heart.

Happy New Year!
