Florida with Lorne & Fern

We had such a fun few days with Lorne & Fern 
at their place in Fort Meyers, Florida


We went to see the Edison-Ford Winter Estates. 
Amazing to see what he tried to grow there.


This Banyan Tree was huge. 
 Planted as a sapling in 1927



A statue of Edison was by the tree.  

Loved the smell of the flowers of the Ying Yang Tree


They make Chanel # 5 from this and you could really tell.
Sweet perfume!  

By the Caloosahatchee River


The pier use to extend for 150 feet.


The root systems were incredible. 


Went out for dinner and of course, I loved the edible flower 
as part of the meal with Atlantic cod.  Yum



Meanwhile back home......


Our skylight.
But thankfully it just went through one layer, 
not both, so no water was in our house. 


But despite the skylights a mess, 
our rose bush looks fabulous!
