We have been enjoying beautiful weather the past few days, biking on Monday on Sanibel Island, laundry and walks on Tuesday and today we spent the afternoon at the Edison and Henry Ford Winter Estates in Fort Myers. There is so much to see that it would be impossible to do it justice here but the grounds are absolutely the best, Edison loved plants and trees and there is every variety of tree imaginable but the most beautiful of all was the one pictured where the roots grow on the ground. It is a Banyan tree that produces a sap that can be used to make rubber. Not only beautiful but functional. Very cool. To think Edison paid $2750 for these 13 acres back in 1879. That might buy you a ticket for the SuperBowl this year. Maybe.
And $2,750 would be money well-spent to see our beloved Vikes kick butt on the AFC!
