Thought they were talking about me when I read the title "Old Bird" then saw it had house after it hehehe

I am definitely getting great vibes from you Aussie. Can IT be love? Or is it that random jigsaw I see posted with Australian coins? Can you tell me how much $$$ we just inherited? XOXO

Love the quote this morning Aussie. 1 Timothy 6:6 - But godliness with contentment is great gain. I feel content some days and others I feel so out of it (JKV).
How is Lyn doing?

Hi mamag, I am going to call Lyn in the next few days, but last time I spoke to her she is improving all the time and her relationship with her daughter has been restored PTL. Thanks for caring. Hugs.

I am so glad to hear that she and her daughter have reconciled. Maybe that is part of her healing process. We can only continue praying that things will keep getting for her. Praise God. Hugs to you too. {{{{ HUGS }}}}}
This puzzle is very intruiging. I kept looking at until I figured out it was attached to a palm tree--then I read description of puzzle & voila! I was finally right. Great photography.

When the fronds die people cut them off leaving a few inches on the tree. When those ends are stripped off the tree (once they have dried out) all sorts of buggies are in them. This seems to be true of the more "cabbage"-like and "pineapple"-type palms and palmettos.
Seems out of place. I wonder if a bird ever nested in it. Almost like putting a bird house on a saguaro for a cactus wren. The shape of the house is very nice. I wish it had been painted or stained, tho as in that state its beauty is overshadowed by the water stained wood. Doesn't one put up a bird house as much as an ornament as a home for a bird? Must be an unhappy retiree from the north stuck in Florida. Anyway that's how I'd feel about living there. Visited once and did not like it one bit. I'll take the mountains over the flats any day.
Wishing you all can finish life in a place that gives you joy.
I totally agree with the 'mountains over the flats' sentiment!!

Yeah that's interesting - many people come here because they say they don't have to deal with the cold weather and snow. Then you get people that complain about the warm weather. Never seen a bird house in a palm tree. The bird houses are completely separate from the trees. Were dealing with a hurricane storm now - Emily - earlier this yr. it was Cindy. Then yesterday am we had to rush our beloved puppy to the ER vet. Something bit or stung her at 5:30am. Hubby took her out - she came in and started vomiting. She went into analyaphlatic shock. There wasn't anything in her stomach. I saw the vet check her gums and they were pale white. We were told oh you can call to check on her anytime. I call and speak to the vet and she said call back between 4:00 -600pm. I call the vet at 4:00pm and she says oh you just couldn't wait til 4:00. It was almost 4:00pm.
