Friday in Florida
First, let me say that today, March 6th, the weather is crazy warm and wonderful and I'm going to go for a run in a minute. Yes, it's too warm for this time of year, but it's also completely awesome. It also makes me want to rush outside and plunge into the myriad amounts of yard work that needs to be done. But I won't. It can wait. Back to Florida - here's our second day at the beach, when we went to Stump Pass State beach at the southern tip of Manasota Key, and I highly, highly recommend it. We had to wait in line to park because there's a very small lot, but it was worth it because the...

Countdown to Christmas…
...Really??? How did that happen? Now it's the first of December, and I've been MIA on here for much too long. I haven't been lolling around eating bon bons, much as I'd have liked to, but instead I...
White Pelican Duet
When Spot and I sit down at the dock I end up taking so many pictures, and on this day, Oct. 14th, quite a few pelicans were paddling around. These two caught my eye. My favorite photo, a two-headed...

Moon Rising in September
Whew. It was rainy and relatively mild this morning so I spent a half hour digging up more little chameleon plants that have sprouted up because we've been having lots of rain. It was nice to not...
Mostly Spot, way back in September…
Kevin took this photo of Spot in our attached garage. When I first glanced at the picture, I thought, "where on earth is that messy place?" And was chagrined to realize that it's our garage. Soooo...
A September Rice Krispie Treats Debacle
Not to brag or anything, but I'm a pretty good cook. I've made incredibly complicated dishes including Indian dinners that I literally spent days preparing. Indian food has many spices and many...
Fall!
Kevin informed me that it's going to officially be fall at 2:20 this afternoon, in just over two hours from now, so this new fall website banner is ahead of schedule, something I do manage to...
Yeah, so
happy anniversary to us. We were married 15 years ago today and at this exact time on that day it was official and we were probably making toasts or something at the Motor Boat Club. I got sad...
