A Woodpecker & Snowbirds

Today we have been preparing to head back to our much loved Log Cabin Life, which has made for another very busy day.  In between the business, there was some entertainment...

This Pileated Woodpecker showed up in our neighbors oak tree just as we were sitting down on the front porch for lunch.  Beautiful bird, but camera shy; this is the best shot I could get...he kept hopping around the tree, hiding from me!

Then we watched a parade of yachts heading south on the Indian River.  Made me laugh...all these people are heading to Florida to escape the winter (commonly known as Snowbirds in these parts) and we are packing up to head back to our wintry mountain cabin!  Of course, we don't travel in Snowbird style...

Baby yacht...

Mama yacht...

Papa yacht with private escort (well, they really weren't together but the plane took the opportunity to get a close look as it passed by)...

And I've seen bigger!  We'll be driving our little CRV along I-95 and then west to get to our cabin.  I wonder what the mountain folks call people like us who come from Florida to live in Southern Appalachia...anyone know?

I must admit, I am really looking forward to returning to the cabin and getting back to "normal" life...this vacation thing is exhausting!!!

Thanks for reading my blog, you are the best f/f/r/s/f's, see you tomorrow,
