We are thinking today about our friends in the "great white north" who are dealing with even more of that "great white snow".
Hang in there. Stay safe. Get ready for skiing, sledding and walking the dog ... as soon as you can get out of your driveway!
We are currently at Lake Louisa State Park about 20 miles west of Orlando. And although it isn't white that we see, the drought conditions and just being "winter in Florida" has definitely decreased the colors around us.
We all need some color in our lives.
So until your daisies start blooming again, we would like to share some of the colors of Colombia's "eternal spring" that we experienced during our recent visit there.
