Flower Power

We've been hanging out around Mouse Mountain this week and making some quick visits to Disney World a couple of times.  We can't be gone too long since Annie needs to get out for a walk in the middle of the day.  It will be easier beginning Thursday when we check into Fort Wilderness campground.

Epcot flowers:

Mouse Mountain RV Resort is actually on a little bit of a rise, or what is called a hill here in Florida.  The wind really kicks up in the afternoons and it helps to keep it very cool.  Nice, actually.  Florida is a very flat state.  We come from California originally, which has the Sierra Nevada mountain range, so nothing here could be called a real "mountain." 

Sunday we visited Epcot, one of the 4 theme parks that comprise a good part of the Walt Disney World complex.  They are having their Flower Show, or something like that.  Anyway, they have a lot of beautiful flowers laid out in fabulous designs throughout the park.  They normally have impeccable landscape designs throughout the year, but during this time of year they provide the visitor the opportunity to view amazing and beautiful flowers.

They also have free concerts 3 or 4 times a day.  Currently, the theme for the concerts is Flower Power and the acts are from the 1960's.....you know, hippies and the whole Flower Power generation.  We stopped to listen to Peter Noone and Herman's Hermits sing their hits from long ago.  Gosh, the whole audience looked like Bruce and I.....aging people with graying hair!  There were folks with walkers, too.  :)   It was fun and the audience really got into the singing of I'm Henry the 8th which was the Hermits biggest hit (I think).  We had fun thinking back to the "good old days."

I hope everyone continues to have a great week!

Until next time....so long for now!
