The days are warming, the rains are soaking in, the trees are greening. It’s a magical time. Every day the scene is greener than it was yesterday. We’re inspired to begin putting out baskets of annuals, pull weeds from the driveway, and actually get out and do some walking for fitness between the raindrops. Springtime is such a beautiful time of year!
Aboard the Norwegian Jewel we’ve made stops in Cozumel, Mexico and Georgetown, Grand Cayman to explore beyond our previous experiences here. Soon we’ll be making our way to ports we’ve not yet explored in the Southern Caribbean.
What a treat to pause for a BBQ lunch with the locals at Pearl Country Store and Barbecue on US-441 in Micanopy, Florida. It’s a taste of the Florida we remeber from our youth.
By deliberate choice we were in Medina for all the winter holiday festivities from Candlelight Walk in the days before Thanksgiving through A Christmas Carol and A Celtic Christmas as well as an Alex Bevan Concert and a historic house tour all the way through Medina’s 31st Ice Festival but perhaps the highlight was the town hosting hundreds of folks whose homes and lives were devasted by Hurricane Helene at the A Promise of Christmas Event the middle of January. It’s an honor to be a part of this amazing community!
How beautiful! I love to watch the leafing-out, the faint green veil that grows each day as spring emerges from the darkness of winter gloom.
