Sandhill Cranes, Laura Koncel...

Brrr it's cold out!!! The Sandhill Cranes are playing along the beach this morning in the blowing wind. The lake has white caps all over cause the wind must be blowing at 20-30 mph today. And boy is it cold out there. The temp is in the 40s, but due to the wind feels to be in the 30s.
Check out the foam on the beach from the blowing wind. Reminds me of the windy days at New Smyrna Beach. The ducks and geese are hanging out on the beach. Guess the wind is blowing them off the water. HaHa. The temps are supposed to drop to freezing tonight so I need to cover some plants. Sure hope this wind lets up so the covers stay on. Thank goodness for clothes pins.

Our friend..Laura Koncel....
Monday was a sad day. We lost our good friend, Laura Koncel of Lake Helen, FL. She was only 58 years young. She was the breeder of our Papillons, Icee, Chili and LaLa, as well as many other wonderful Papillons that she has bred and shown. Laura was a super lady with a kind heart and a gentle nature. She loved all her Papillons and when she could bring herself to part with one was very careful to find a loving home in which to place her precious pup. She often told me that she was so fortunate to have gotten such great homes for her dogs and had made some good friends in the process. John and I are proud to have been included in that group. She will be missed by many, especially all of her Papillon friends. God bless you Laura. It was an honor to have had you in our lives. We love and miss you.
