After a real winter, the kayaks and their owners are anxious to get on the water. With the rainy weather, the beach always looks inviting.

Walking the Boulevard on Tuesday, noticed the ducks playing under the bridge. These cuties play in the current under the bridge going back and forth.

Beautiful Male Cardinal
Saw this pretty bird through the dining room window on Sunday. The raindrops on the branches seem to be telling a story. Thank you mother nature for this bird.

Ironic
On the sunny days, I decided to put out some deck chairs. Seems ironic that the chairs look inviting except for the pretty dusting of snow.

Went to Kalamata Greek Kitchen on Thursday for lunch. Their Greek Lemon Soup is so good, I actually get excited knowing that is what I will be having for lunch. The warm Pita bread hits the spot. The staff and ambiance are great as well.
