I have been very unhappy the last couple weeks.  I had not heard from Patricia, the editor.  She did not return my calls or emails.  Finally, today she called and apologized.  She said she finished with her other project. I have also had a number of aggravating doctor’s appointments.  I guess it’s that age in life. The body just needs more care and maintenance.

All is good now and I am cheered up.  Since it has been several days (again!) I’ll just post a few pictures.

This is our back yard.  The orange kayaks had been filling the space so we stood them on end against the back of the shed and put some patio furniture back there. Andy insisted that I needed some flowers.  I picked a basket to hang on the fence and filled it with begonias. The green in the lower right corner is the bike cover.

This is our view of the mangrove swamp behind our RV lot. I love it.

This is a closer look at the Black Mangrove pneumatophores.

Our neighbor Mark had picked up a fallen palm frond and was taking it to the dumpster. We told him he looked like a peacock.

We walked on Smathers Beach in Key West after a doctor’s appointment.

I love pelicans.  For some reason, we don’t see very many in the RV park anymore.  A few years ago, they would roost on top of trailers and attached rooms. This one was at Smathers Beach.
