As northern transplants neither did we imagine horses and cattle and all of the agriculture here, I guess we only visited the beach. Florida is a lovely state with a great history and great weather!

Where I am in Sarasota I am surrounded by horse and cattle farms and tons of live oaks - my community has hundreds - I have a dozen on my property.

It’s different than living by the coast, we are surrounded with huge horse land, live oaks and lots of shopping(normally). It’s a 55 community with lots of amenities. But of course one of our favorite places in Florida is Sanibel! We go as often as we can to shell! We moved here from a lifetime spent in Western Pennsylvania, right in the snow belt. Needless to say we don’t miss it, happy to be in the Sunshine state!Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2395859504434574133.post-22077052661078043332020-05-04T16:56:19.989-04:002020-05-04T16:56:19.989-04:00So pretty!
