To dream, there must be a vision. A long time ago, when moving to Florida was still just an idea, I could see images in my head. Images of our Florida home. I could see a beautiful swimming pool, surrounded by plants 🪴 that I love so much. I could see Crazy Bird hanging out with us on his own deluxe jungle gym. A cozy exotic lounge area with lightweight curtains that add some elegance, overlooking the inviting pool. Our pool. I could feel a breeze and the humidity in the air and feeling so happy that we are surrounded by all of this. Joe and I and our animals. H O M E. Let me tell you, the road to get to this place has been windy. There were detours. More than we anticipated. So here we are and we figure it would be fun to tour some Open Houses. Those and model homes are just so much fun to look at. Regardless of whether we actually want to purchase a house or not. I remember throughout the years, especially in the cold...

Has it really been 6 months of jungle life? Uuuhuuuh! The palm trees, wild and ungroomed, have done me in. Love grew in record speed. Yes I love this place. Fort Desoto. https://www.pinellascounty.org/park/05_ft_desoto.htm The trails, the beautiful beaches, the abundance of birds. I can honestly say that I don't recall seeing such a crazy variety of large birds anywhere before. While the actual Fort leaves alot to be desired (at least in my book) the rest of this luscious southern tip of the peninsula screams paradise. We've encountered one mandatory evacuation this summer. Call us lucky! From what we were told, in 2020 they had 9 of these here! The downside of being surrounded by large bodies of water, I suppose. So yeah, we packed up and left to go an hour north at friends, who were kind to take us in. Then we turned around 2 days later and came back. The park was unharmed. Thank goodness...
