Gators, Gators, Everywhere Gators

Well today was definitely filled with wildlife. All the baby sandhill cranes are getting big, looking more like birds than dinosaurs. This is the single chick that lives down by the center parking lot. The ones at the other end of the pond have picked up another chick so that pair now has three chicks. Don't know where the third one came from, maybe they chicknapped him.


The gator population has increased by leaps and bounds. Don't know where they keep coming from but today we saw ten, that's right ten. They were all two - three feet long. Most were on the far edge of the pond nearest the lake but a couple were in the center of the pond.


I think it is kind of interesting how they just seem to hang in the water with their head floating on the surface.

After our walk went to WalMart, Sonic, and Publix. Not much new or exciting at any of these places. Then it was home to do chores. Dan took care of the water conditioner and fertilizing the yard. I worked on uploading more picture, I'm now halfway through March. Almost all caught up. I guess this Thursday I will be working on April's pictures, where did the month go?

We went to lunch at Taco Bell and arrived just when everyone else did. So we all ended up waiting for our food to be made. I love mexican food, doesn't matter where it comes from. Just easier to figure the points for Taco Bell or Chipotles.

The cruisers are cruisers no more. By the time I post this they will be in the air heading back to sunny Florida. When I talked to Tammy they were in San Diego waiting for their flight. Can't wait to hear all the stories and see the pictures. Have already heard one story and leave it to Tom to provide a great vacation tale.

We will be heading up to the airport to drop of the Expedition so they will have a ride home.
