: : Ha! Snow Bird indeed! *laughing*. Yeah lets talk about the rich flora and fauna of Florida. Such beauty. There ain't ONLY snow birds there ya know.....let's talk about gators, and water moccasins, and coral snakes, and leeches, mosquitos that need to check in with Miami Air Traffic Control, poisonous spiders....oh yeah. Lovely place! Can't compare with my enchanted forest thank you veddy much.
: Well, we COULD talk about those...but instead, let's talk about juicy ripe oranges growing in my front yard, surrounded by orchids hanging from my trees, and a butterfly garden that will be filled with blooms AND butterflies ALL WINTER LONG. And let's talk about snow white sand on beaches with turquoise water splashing about my toes as I walk along the edge of the surf, watching a snowy egret chasing minnows in the foam. And let's talk about my canoe gliding silently through the curves of Wekiva River, and otters playing along the banks as I drift by, and deer standing in the dappled shadows of the palmettos, watching me pass. Want more??????
