SPRINGS AND SUMMER

We took our youngest son and children to the springs at Welaka--what a treasure that place is tucked in like a hidden world!  The water was so refreshing after a long hike in to the water!
We sat and enjoyed the view and then would swim again--
a very relaxing few hours!
Everyone had a good time jumping in 
and swimming across the spring!
I came prepared this time to join in the swimming 
and had a wonderful time in the water!  I even swam over the springs--the water pressure is so great-
1.4 millions gallons a day-it holds you up in the water!  
My daughter in law sent gifts from her grandparents--very old bottles that he brought up when diving off the coast of St Thomas Island many decades ago--very cool to hold the bottles and feel the difference from new bottles!
  And the fabric is from grandma who is also an avid quilter! 
 I will enjoy them both very much!
 And look!  I even managed to finish the second doily!

  2. What a lovely spot! We've got a lot of water here but nothing to swim in. Between the jelly fish and the bacteria warnings posted I wouldn't even dip a toe in the bay right now...lol.

  3. That looks so refreshing. We had a "feels like" temp of 113F here today. Believe me, I stayed in the AC as much of the time as I could. Those are such lovely gifts and how thoughtful of them.
    We have a pool here at the condo but it has been so full of people over the weekend that I wouldn't even think of going in the water.
    Blessings and hugs,
    Betsy
