Florida, Moore Haven - Tuesday, February 25, 2014 - M RV Resort

Yesterday we went back to Jet Blue Park.  We hoped to be able to see the Red Sox practicing before we went through the farmers market and picked up some produce.  We found out that they aren’t letting the public in to watch practice.

 

 

We opted for pulled pork sandwiches instead of the lobster rolls we had last week.  They were good, but I think I preferred the lobster rolls.

 

 

The alligators were showing a presence this morning.  We saw a small one in the ditch at the front of the campground out by the highway.  He looked pretty comfortable laying there in the sun.  This guy is in the pond that is across the way from us.  I was not as close to him as this photo looks, a zoom lens and photo cropping can do wonders.

I guess we missed some excitement last night.  At one of the other ponds on the property a small alligator came out of the pond and scared the daylights out of some people who were sitting outside.  The people ended up on the top of the picnic table.  The management of the campground called out someone to capture the alligator this morning, they don’t want to take a chance on an alligator that might get aggressive.   However, you can tell by the size of this one that he is just a baby (see the guy in the yellow shirt).  Greg and I were talking and wondered if alligators were like puppies, as they age they get more laid back.

I was making potato salad when we noticed the activity at the other pond.  I walked up to see what all of the excitement was about and noticed that the pond lilies are blooming or getting near.

 

 

I got back home and finished up the potato salad, made some cucumbers and onions and cut up vegetables to make stir fry this evening.  I’ll get out the wok and cook outside this evening. 

I almost hate to cook on the stove, Greg put in new grates and burner washers yesterday and it looks like a new stove.

We made another purchase which arrived today.

We decided that we weren’t walking fast enough to provide cardio exercise and we really couldn’t pick up the pace too much, it is hard on the knee replacement Greg has.  So, we decided bicycles would be a good idea.  All of the roads here are paved and lots of people ride bicycles.  There appears to be only one problem in this plan – I’m living proof that you can indeed forget how to ride a bicycle.
