Springtime in Gainesville…

Posted by Stacey on Friday Apr 13, 2007 Under Work, outdoors

Man- do I love springtime in this town!! Timmeh called around 10:30am and told me he was picking me up for lunch at 11 and taking me to Chipotle! Woohoo! So at about 5 min. ’til, I ran downstairs and stood under a tree by the road. The breeze was blowing, everything around is spring-green- just one of those “lovin’ being alive” moments. Suddenly, this giagantic and gorgeous pileated woodpecker swoops down from above and zings past me- mere inches from my head. I stood there and watched him machine gun holes into the huge oak across the parking lot until Tim arrived. So very cool!

San Felasco Hammock Preserve State Park

Posted by Stacey on Monday Apr 9, 2007 Under Family, Friends, outdoors

We hiked 3.5 miles of San Felasco Hammock Preserve Stae Park on Saturday. It was a GORGEOUS day out- 68 degrees cool, spring-green leaves everywhere, birds chattering away. SO wonderful!

Saturday was so much fun that we decided to go out there again and drag our friend Melissa and her two dogs along with us. It was a little more overcast that day but the weather was still very nice. We hiked a different part that was about 6.5 miles long. It was so much fun hanging with Melissa, Shelia, and Shelby! We’re gonna have to do it again soon before it starts getting hot.

Melissa, Shelia, Tim and Shelby...
