“The quiet rhythmic monotone
of the wall of logs
fills one with the rustic peace
of a secluded nook
in the woods.”
~ Gustav Stickley

Palm Island Boardwalk Lives Up to its Name
A leisurely stroll on a winding boardwalk is perfect for daily exercise. One forgets about the 8-acre distance covered along the shoreline and through dense areas of native plants and trees simply because there is so much that catches the eye. Shaded pavilions offer the perfect stopping point to relax for a moment, soak up the view, or share a picnic. The solitude is therapeutic as well as the company of egrets, ducks, bullfrogs, and dragonflies. Well done, Mt. Dora!
Listen to the Waterfall
“As long as I live,
I’ll hear waterfalls and birds
and winds sing.
I’ll interpret the rocks,
learn the language of flood,
storm, and the avalanche.
I’ll acquaint myself with the glaciers
and wild gardens,
and get as near the heart
of the world as I can.”
~ John Muir
The Delicate Daisy
“I think scent is sensual. I guess evoking a mood or a spirit is key, and I think with the women’s fragrances we have evoked different types, moods, or sensibilities of a woman – whether it’s Daisy with the sweetness and the innocence or Lola which is more provocative, sexy, and sultry.”
~ Marc Jacobs
Turkeys
“The turkeys wade close to catch the bees
In the old border full of maple trees
And often lay away and breed and come
And bring a brood of chelping chickens home.”
And often lay away and breed and come
And bring a brood of chelping chickens home.”
~ John Clare
