A few years ago while I was up north for the summer in the Buffalo area, I was visiting some friends in the country.  We were sitting out on his deck and   I spotted a squirrel go into one of their many birdhouses.  I mentioned it and and went over to see if I could get a picture of it inside.  No such luck, I think he saw me coming and hid deeper inside.  By this time, I think everyone thought I was either hallucinating, or just pulling their leg.  I do have a bit of a prankster in me.



I decided to try and get a video of the little guy, and tapped the house with a broom handle.  We all gathered around, and here is the outcome.

Last week winter came to Sun City Center.  We had been expecting it, and the forecast had even warned of snow but later changed the snow forecast because they said it would be too cold for snow.  The storm that blew through before the front hit, tore a section of my screening away from our pool cage, but it was easily fixed.  The frost on the roofs and ground across the lake really surprised me when I awoke.  The cold didn't seem to bother the family of ducks that have taken up residence on our lake this year.

The gulls didn't seem to mind the cold either.



I only stayed outside a few minutes, to get these pictures.  Having lived in Florida now for over 15 years, I don't have the tolerance for cold like I did when I lived in the Buffalo, NY area.



Fortunately for us, winter doesn't last very long here.  2 -3 days at a time is normal, rarely does it last more than that.  The other day we hit 80, and today our high will be 67.  Life is good here in Sun City Center.
