Today Barbara and I spent most of the day inside because mother nature provided the area with abundant rain. It never rained hard, but it was consistent most of the day. This evening, right after dinner, we were treated to one of the most amazing rainbows we have ever seen. Take a look!

Barbara and I landed at Wilderness Lakes, Thousand Trails park last Thursday. This is a nice park with a lot of things to do here and nearby. But my favorite part of this park is the abundant wildlife at the park. There are numerous canals here and the waterfowl really enjoy them and I enjoyContinue reading “Wilderness Lakes”
