It has been five years since I last posted. We have moved once again, hopefully for the last time. When we were moving in, we were welcomed by this family of four Sand Cranes. They come by every day usually in the early morning. They make a loud racket like a turkey, but much harsher. The adult Sand Cranes will run their babies off around the end of the year. They will be as big as their parents in just a few months. They will learn to forage for food, fly and how to avoid predators. We live in a park-like setting with dear, Ibis and Egrets. We enjoy the pontoon boat, bike riding the Withlacoochee Trail, walks, and kayaking. And to top it all off, I retired from my clinical scientist job of 43 years. I am learning to slow down and take it easy. I am reading and writing and have joined a fabulous online critique group.
