and brave

against the almost freezing rainy nights

and

enjoying

the sunny & cool days.

weird weather.

some of the plants are being fooled into thinking spring is here.

then the next day the temperature drops.

Flatwoods Plum

this small Flatwoods Plum tree i bought a few years ago 

at a local Florida native plant sale.

it's grown from about 2 feet tall to 6 feet.

this is the first year it's delicate blooms have come out!

mini Daffodils

the tiny daffodils blooming by the front porch.

REMEMBER the Orb Weaver from recent previous posts?

the one living in a wind chime on the front porch.

on colder nights, she stays hidden.

but when she senses the temp will be tolerable...

she appears just after dusk and begins weaving her web.

every time i see her out there

i can't resist taking pictures!

she's really grown.

one night i saw that an unfortunate bug had ended up in her lair.

(well, unfortunate for the bug, anyway.)

she wrapped it up.

when she was satisfied that it wasn't going anywhere...

she moved to another spot and left that little bug, June Bug i think, just dangling there.

i was really surprised the next morning to see that she had left this bug 

still hanging on a strand of web...

while she slept all day in her bell.

for her next night's snack?

usually her web hangs from 'her' chime, straight down to the porch railing.

one night, she wove it so that it was almost against the front of the house.

(even if you don't like spiders, you have to admit...

it's pretty cool to watch them at work.

isn't it?)

having the NEED to get out of town...

sam & i are both taking off work tomorrow (friday) and going camping this weekend.
with milo of course!
she's looking forward to it just as much as we are.
(no phones. no internet. not for milo either.)

most of the local parks are booked but i found one with some vacant spots.

we haven't been there for a few years...and they have a few good trails...

so hopefully i'll get some decent pictures.

maybe even a picture of an ANIMAL or two,

and not just their TRACKS or POOP (oh, sorry...be professional laura...SCAT!)

oOo

i leave you with ANOTHER misspelled sign i spotted at a church 

on the way to a client's home.

i didn't have my camera...but did drive back there the next day

HOPING it was still misspelled.

it was.

this is the third church i've taken pictures of their misspelled signs at.
