March 30th, 2013

Oh it’s a beautiful day in the neighbourhood!! Water is like glass, sun is shining, not a cloud in the sky and the air is warm and fresh; pretty darn perfect is all I can say.  The manatee have rolled in this morning for a feed along the docks where the some boats have already pulled out for their trip home up the inter-coastal waterway. It is amazing how manatee, so big and awkward can move so gracefully through the water.  It is a quiet morning and as I sit and write this blog I can hear the splash of water as the birds hit the water diving for fish. The song birds are singing with a cheerful lilt as if they are happy that spring is here even in the south.

Today marks one week until we head home and leave this wee bit of paradise. Let’s hope spring is present in Manitoba when we arrive. We are off to the Saturday market on the waterfront for fresh vegetables for tomorrows Easter supper with friends. There’s nothing like fresh baby asparagus and new garden carrots. Yum!!

We have returned from the market with our goods and ready for a nap after being in the hot sun this morning. Although, the pool is calling my name so perhaps I will go for a refreshing dip instead. Yup, the pool wins out. Off to the pool I must go.

As we eat up the rest of our food, start packing up a few things, and clean as we go I can’t help feel a little excited about going home. It will be great to see everyone and get ready to enjoy the yard, BBQ’s and other summer fun. Don’t get me wrong I will miss this southern living, but Canada is still the best place to live….no doubt about it.

See you all soon as we should be home by the 10th of April. Happy Easter to all!
