Hibiscus revealed

It was at least 83 degrees in this part of Florida today. As Santini has been saying, with tongue firmly planted in cheek, "I've got to get out of this hellhole."

The warmth has caused the hibiscus flowers to sprout. This one is contributed by the neighbor to the east, the same people with the brightly colored lawn chairs.


Our annual trip to the Peace River Wild Life Center was today. They take care of a large number of injured raptors, including some hawks and two American Eagles. Regal birds all.

Tomorrow's activity is a spring training baseball game between Tampa Bay and Pittsburgh. Baseball season has begun in Florida. Can spring on the tundra be far behind?
