To get to the canal on the other side! So cute I had to get out of the car and take this pic. :)(Totally worth the woman in the car behind me thinking I was a nut, lol)

March 22nd: Beach, here I come!
Let me begin by asking you something… Do I look like my mom, OR WHAT?! LOL (she can’t deny me, thats for sure.)
I had all the good intentions in the world to wake up early and do my regular early morning long run this Saturday but… when the alarm went off at 6:30 and I heard the rain falling outside I decided to cuddle up with Max a little longer and stay comfy in my bed.
It appeared to clear up a bit by 8:30 so I called my mom and did an impromptu trip to the beach. We only stayed for about 45 minutes because it got cold and rainy again (despite how sunny the sky appears to be in this picture, it was short lived.)
Not a bad way to start the weekend, though…. and to end my Saturday on a sweet note, dinner with my dad and step mom 🙂
March 20th: Spring-time blooms
I have yet another gorgeous bloom in my backyard! As I was cleaning up the kitchen, I looked out the window and couldn’t see past some palm fronds where I knew I had an orchid tied to its trunk.
When I finished up, I walked outside and found this!! Low and behold behind that mess of fronds was this gorgeous orchid with two flowers and 4 buds waiting to bloom! I ripped the fronds down from the over-grown palm to make my gorgeous new addition more visible from my window.
Here are some pics of the yard in bloom:

- I can’t wait to see what color it will be. I forgot what was tied there last year!
