A Manatee Outside My Condo Building

Guess What I saw in the water outside my condo last week !!

He is hiding in the foliage and eating away happily. 

He is swimming away after being satisfied with his meal. 

I was beyond excited seeing a manatee swimming around and eating the foliage in the intracoastal waters outside of my condo building. I think he was a baby. 

Do you remember Maximillian the Manatee? He is the star of my friends' children's book ! Available on Amazon. Great gift for any kid to learn about manatees!

Follow them on Instagram to see more frequent adventures of Maximillian the manatee... so cute,

This is my condo building with the Intracoastal waters in front of it.
In the back, on the other side, I have the view of the ocean. I live across the street from the beach.

When the temperatures drop and everyone starts talking about snowstorms, all I want is a warm, cozy bowl of soup. Even though there’s no snow here in sunny Florida, my family in Pennsylvania and New York has been sending blizzard photos — and let’s just say, it’s serious soup weather up there!

Are you a tea drinker?  Then you need to read this. 

Alert: Did you know that many popular tea brands of regular, green tea, or herbal teas, use tea bags that contain micro plastics that can leach into your cup of tea when steeped in hot water? I had no idea and it could be serious.

Scary, right?
