I wanted to show you Lake Petty Gulf in the last throes of summer. In October the pictures will gradually begin to "tinge" yellow and gold. We are interested in seeing the seasonal progress around the lake, are we not? This is Florida and, even here in the Red Hills of the Big Bend, we must strain our sensibilities and become extremely fine-tuned in order to enjoy the beauty of the changing seasons.
A southern grandmother recounts experiences and thoughts following her retirement to the Red Hills near Tallahassee, Florida. Who knows what she'll say?

September on the Lake
I posted on facebook this morning that I was going to concentrate on my to-do list (the ten million things) today, as I have enjoyed the week so far without doing much real work. First, I took a walk around the lake, then I played with pets, and now, after lunch, I am posting this.
