The resort has a 'green way' that connects the north and south ends of the resort down the very middle creating an east and west side. The 'green way' is a paved path, a sidewalk of sorts, that goes up to the road and then back down to a 'ditch'. Other than a few little grassy areas, the green way is our only 'lawn' at the resort. It is a very nice short cut for those living at one end or the other.
The green way ditch near us often fills with water after a rain.
After over two inches of rain this week, the ditch was full. So full in fact, the landscaping crew decided to pump the water out, onto the street.
A look at the back part of the photo looks like fall with all the yellow and gold leaves near the culvert and road.
The green way is empty and once again a walkable path.

If you have been following my blog, you know how I have fretted about our fire stick cactus. The pencil cactus is supposed to get red or orange tips giving the appearance of the pencil cactus on 'fire'.
Our pencil cactus had grown so much over the summer and looked very healthy. But it was disappointing to not see any red or orange tips when the other pencil/fire stick cactus in the resort were displaying the appropriate color.
We planted the pencil cactus in the front of the house. We don't often walk by the front of our house, we usually walk along the back to get to the street. So imagine my surprise this week when I put the string of lights along the front and really noticed the fire stick.
The tips are doing their thing! Hopefully the night time temperatures won't drop so low and cause the damage it did last winter. It is looking pretty good right now. YEAH!

And finally, I enjoy some color and real flowers during our winter stay. I found some Gerbera daisies and put them in one of my pots. Two of the three plants were blooming this week.
