The closest we will get to a "White Christmas" here is the puzzle I finished yesterday.

Yesterday we went to a state park near where we are staying in Florida and did a short hike.

Shortly before you pass through a wildlife control gate there is this sign

The hike continues after that point on a really nice boardwalk along a swampy area:

But before long the boardwalk ends and you are walking along paths with these guys right along the edge:

Shortly after that the trail seemed to split, one way had a sign saying closed due to flooding, the other looked like this:

bob, your photos remind me of a trip we took to Loxahatchee National Wildlife Refuge. It is one of our favorite memories of visits to Florida.

Here's Oski in his "Christmas outfit." (He could actually reach is paw to lick the wound but he hasn't figured that out.)

Should I take a hike in a place where Bob was, I believe that one of those zapping cattle prods would be helpful, along with something that would make a lot of noise such as a paper bag blown up with my hyperventilating.

Socks, Oskie is so beautiful!! What a cutie!!

We are expecting thunderstorms, severe thunderstorms, possible tornado and high winds beginning within the hour.

This is the creek in the woods where we ride the horses. The creek is about 5 feet higher than normal in these pictures.

Snow cover has not arrived yet - too warm and rainy.

This is a photo from year 2002
