California Cousins Visit

May 22, Marge and Eileen, cousins from Northern California, made the long trek to The Villages. For five days, we showed them our "town" as well as central Florida. They seemed to enjoy it and hopefully will come back one day.

We experienced our first tropical storm this past week. Fortunately, we had very little wind and much needed rain. Our ponds and lakes are once again filled to the brim.

 Looks like a rock but actually a manatee.

 Manatees grow to over 1000 lbs. eating romaine??? They are vegetarians.
