My sweet, precious, beautiful girl is getting big!
Apopka, Florida February 2021
We stayed at a county park called Magnolia Park and drove around Lake Apopka. It is a beautiful lake with lots of wildlife. Here are a few photos.

I posted this photo on What Bird to get an ID and gracious people answered! It was a great surprise to be able to add a new bird to my Life List.
The bird in the Header is a Hermit Thrush.

Read these words to understand,
Life can be enjoyed,
By the simplest of things.

This song was written by Toby Keith:
Don’t let the old man in
I wanna leave this alone
Can’t leave it up to him
He’s knocking on my door
And I knew all of my life
That someday it would end
Get up and go outside
Don’t let the old man in
Many moons I have lived
My body’s weathered and worn
Ask yourself how would you be
If you didn’t know the day you were born
Try to love on your wife
And stay close to your friends
Toast each sundown with wine
Don’t let the old man in
Many moons I have lived
My body’s weathered and worn
Ask yourself how would you be
If you didn’t know the day you were born
When he rides up on his horse
And you feel that cold bitter wind
Look out your window and smile
Don’t let the old man in

I like the version sung by Willie Nelson.

A Love Story
She’s waiting.
He flies in.
He tries to impress her.
Looks like love!
The wedding party arrives.
