"Costa Rica Sundown"

We just moved the Sofa out onto our Porch for we live outside here in "Costa Rica". The weather is about 70 degrees and it is 6 at night. The Weather here by "Arenal Volcano" in Costa Rica is the perfect climate to enjoy Nature for the Outside is your Living Room.

"Arenal Volcano Costa Rica"

"Peach Colored Clouds"

The "Volcano" top is Fogged in but the sky on either side of it is colored like peach ice cream. 

"Pair of Chestnut Toucans"

"Tropical Dairy Cows"

"Cows at Play"

A Pair of Toucans is calling, about a half mile away. We have Flocks of Toucans and indivual Toucans that land in our yard daily. The Farmer next door has been cutting feed for his Cows all day. I can hear the Farmer's Dog bark so it must be time to feed the Animals. 

"Green Hummingbird"

Twilight now, but an iridescent green "Hummingbird" is getting his last licks, on the feeder about 5 feet away. 

A Fog is rolling up the Mountain and obscuring the View. I would go inside and watch the Sideshow from "Washington D.C.", but our Satelitte Dish was hit by Lightning on Tuesday evening. Maybe it is just as well that we are without Television. My feet are getting cold I may put on a pair of socks or not. That is the kind of big decision I can handle. 

So Retirement from the "United States" to Costa Rica does have it's advantages with Wildlife, Climate, Tourists, and and low taxes we are very Happy here in Costa Rica.
