Off to the races…sorta kinda

Down to South Florida

Life tends to move faster there.

Have a beautiful and eventful weekend!

Christmas tree on Sunday.

UmHmm.

Bits and pieces….

Little bits of Holiday decorating this weekend

The bromeliad flower below

looks like a teensy Christmas tree at the sink…whoville

and if I squint real hard….the tiles look like snow….

Lanterns hung and lit outside

 

Limes…gathered in silver with palm seeds

And the best most prolific decoration…

Another beautiful day

Enjoy YOUR weekend.

I see…..

Skies of blue..... clouds of white
Bright blessed days....dark sacred nights
And I think to myself .....what a wonderful world.

I hear babies cry...... I watch them grow
They'll learn much more.....than I'll never know
And I think to myself .....what a wonderful world
