Is it my imagination or are there more cherry trees in the Rochester area than there used to be? Besides seeing the trees in yards or in parks, I’ve been noticing them all over in parking lots. Check out Wegmans Eastway or Home Depot in Panorama. They both have dozens of beautiful trees blooming now. […]

For example, after an early morning rain, I saw the most beautiful rainbow (is there ever […]

Segways are all the rage on the space coast this year, so today Gary and I took a segway tour around Port Canaveral. The fact that our tour destination was Auddino’s Italian Bakery for cookies had nothing (well, almost nothing) to do with my enthusiasm. I’d been wanting to try riding a segway since I’d first […]

It seems like in Rochester we have only one kind of seagull – white. Here in Florida, seagulls come in various combinations of white, gray, black and brown. Some quick internet research told me that there are 30 species of seagulls under the Laridae genus of birds, Laridae coming from the Greek for “ravenous seabird.” […]
