Projects and Patio Friends

Spring in Florida has brought with it summer temperatures. It gave us some great weather to finish some projects before we head north to Iowa. To be more efficient we installed a new energy efficient roof on our home. We hope to reduce energy costs with this and a new high efficient heat pump. Long term we will enjoy some savings in energy costs. Our creature friends, especially the squirrels, were becoming frustrating at the bird feeder. Some research brought us to a feeder that has discouraged the wily squirrels from eating so readily at the Golden Corral bird feeder Buffet. It has been successful and they have moved on to the Country Kitchen across the street. Now the colorful birds enjoy our feeder and we enjoy them. We also installed a paver patio in our back yard so we can enjoy the birds and trees there. The Eastern Blue Birds, Finches, Morning Doves, Cardinals, Pilliated Wood Peckers, and many more entertain us in the evenings. We will have many comfortable evenings sitting on the patio and sharing time with friends. Looking forward to our orange trees producing a tasty crop of fresh oranges as we return in the fall.
