This is our maintenance area.
My boss, Danon, opening one of the gates.
A really big gopher tortoise burrow. Didn't see the tortoise.
I was watching for the pine trees that have the crosses sprouting around Easter time. Danon had never heard about it but was interested. The crosses aren't very big yet, but Easter is a few weeks away. Hope you can see them at the top of the pine!
We got back to the office and Norman needed to talk to Danon, so stopped the tractor to talk. I snapped a picture and went on in to close down my computer and get ready to leave. It was a fun couple of hours for me. We only found one large limb that needed to be moved. Pleased that there was no real damage.
Last night, St. Patrick's Day, the Mas Verde group went to Grillsmith for dinner. A couple of us got the corned beef and cabbage (and mashed potatoes). It was delicious and I'm sorry I took a few bites before I thought about taking a picture. Also sorry about the shadow. The beef was fork-tender.
Tonight, my boss and Mrs. Boss are going to pick me up for dinner. We are going to Gosh, Asian Bistro and we are all looking forward to it. I made an angel-food pineapple cake last night and have fresh berries and whipped cream to serve with it for our dessert when we get back to the house. I imagine we will play a game or two of Rummikub. That's it and thanks for making it this far. Lots of photos.
Terri: It was so sweet of you to share the photos of green and water, here we still have snow on the ground, soon it will be melted I hope.

I enjoyed seeing all the pictures of those lakes. There is a certain and specific smell that means you are in Florida: green, fresh, warmth, humid...as soon as you step out of the airport, and breathe it in, yay, Florida! We've gone on some walks around lakes and ponds there through the years, and it's so different from the landscapes up here, of course. I love where I live, but I do love Florida too. Thank you for the tour! Also, it's nice you get out and about so much with friends...what fun.
ReplyDeleteHow nice to get to drive around and see so much. I've seen a lot of little branches down with the wind and rain we had but nothing bad where I hike. Signs of Spring everywhere! Enjoy your day and evening!
ReplyDeleteHow wonderful that your boss asked you to ride along. You got some great pictures. I love all the lakes there..each beautiful in its own way. I hope you have a really great weekend. xo Diana
ReplyDeleteNever heard of the cross pines, but I could see it. Is that just in Florida? So many ch beauty where you work. Hope you have a great weekend.
ReplyDeleteWow, Terri, what wonderful photos you have for us this week! I saw those crosses in the pines, and I think that's rather a miracle in itself. Not sure if the pines we have around here do the same, but I'll be sure to check.
ReplyDeleteBlessings!
What a picturesque workplace, Terri! I'm guessing your boss is flattered that you're so interested. Only recently I heard of the pines' crosses and will be on the lookout. Like the cross on donkeys' backs, I love how God's in the details.
ReplyDeleteHave fun tonight!
Beautiful photos and place, I do enjoy nature so much! Have a great weekend!
ReplyDeleteYou work in Paradise! So pretty. I love being out in nature too this time of year.
ReplyDeleteBlessings. xx
What a beautiful piece of land and lakes. I've seen the crosses in the trees too - so cool!
ReplyDeleteBeautiful photos and boy that area has a lot of lakes. I've never seen a pine tree with crosses on it. That is amazing.
ReplyDeleteWhat fun! You do work in a lovely place. I love that there are so many lakes and trails and so much natural beauty. That's the REAL Florida that most people don't know about! That's what I love about where we live too. I'm glad you get to go out to dinner tonight and last night too. So much fun. Take care and have a wonderful weekend.
ReplyDeleteThat tortoise hole is HUGE!
ReplyDeleteWhat a fun time you had out and about today getting great pics with your new phone.
I am so thankful for the friends God has placed in your life - - especially the new ones through your job.
Always love looking at your photos Terri. How nice to get a break from the computer. Hope you enjoyed your evening with Mr & Mrs Boss. I love a game of Rummikub
