Heather and Brian's great short visit

Gosh Heather and Brian's visit was quick! Blink and it's done. Great to have them down and it was Brian's first time in Naples. Wish they could have stayed longer. Next time. Hmmm, next time could be 3 not 2. Very exciting!

Pool time was good. I think it's safe to say Mark's desire to have a pool back was a good one. First time having a pool with an electric heater. A marvelous invention. It will not be needed in the summer however. That Florida heat turns the pool water into bath water all on it's own.

Did some eating out including a good authentic Mexican restaurant nearby, Salsa Brava. We were joined by a crowd coming in via this vehicle - drink and pedal your way around town. A novel approach. We were just finishing our lunch, I might add, good thing as this is a tiny place, and it was a large happy group.

It's that time of year around here. Baby ducklings everywhere. Very sweet.

Another young one. This time I heard a strange bird call over and over from a distance away. Got close enough to take one quick photo. This bird was all brown, which the camera didn't catch, and big. Turns out it was a juvenile sand hill crane sadly all by itself. Those giant exotic birds stay in this part of Florida only for winter and then move up north. I believe he got left behind.

All is going quiet here now. Season is almost over and the locals breathe a sigh of relief. I don't know where we count these days, local, snowbird, maybe resident. Ha who knows...
