Real-time life update: Yesterday it got up to 71 degrees and kevin and i took a little walk through the fields which which had lots of standing water. it was great to get outside.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

After that i decided i needed to transplant a few tulips which had somehow come up in the front. i though i’d transplanted them all last year but these were extras. I managed to dig up about eight or ten and then managed to plant them in the fenced yard, but that was way too much exercise for yesterday. hopefully at least a couple of them will survive.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

This morning it’s not as warm and crazy-windy outside but the sun is shining, which is great. Kevin brought Lovey into the screened porch and I hope this is the start of her new life with us inside. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

But back to Florida – this was our last full day there and of course my Number One desire was to go to the beach.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

First, this black goose was swimming around in the river when i got up in the morning.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

I went for a good run and in the background maybe you can see the river behind this yard.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

I love that festive metalwork above that door and haven’t seen anything like it before.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

yay, another warm-weather run completed!<\/p>\n\n\n\n

We got to Pass-A-Grille by 2:00 and didn’t find any parking along the beach, so we ended up on the gulf side. The only hitch is that I had to download the parking app and then add money to it on the app. It took a while to do it and then of course i had to worry that maybe it didn’t really work; there was nothing to indicate that the meter was running. So i asked a woman walking by and she thought we’d be fine. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

We took the 5-minute walk over to the beach and it was fun to walk past the cute little houses on the block.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

A nice guy threw in a free umbrella with our lounge-chair rental because he didn’t think we’d be there long. It was a very windy day but of course we were going to be there for the duration. Last day at the beach!<\/p>\n\n\n\n

I got mom to take a walk with me, and here’s a view back to our spot on the beach and the outdoor cafe Paradise Grille<\/a> behind it.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Ok, we saw this guy doing something like windsurfing but that’s not what it was. In windsurfing the sail is attached to the board, and this guy was holding onto a rope which was attached to the sail.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"\"<\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n\n

It’s also not called parasailing or paragliding. I spent at least an entire minute just now looking it up on wikipedia but I couldn’t find what it’s called. Here you can sort of see the guy way out there.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
