Run, puppy, run!

IT'S SPRING!

A pair of tropical kingbirds are nesting in the end of our davits!







Momma and Daddy!

THE GREEN FLASH!

I have been trying to capture the green flash with my camera for those of you who haven't seen it. Yes, it does exist - promise! We have been out for sunset on the bay the last 6 nights and have seen it 4 times! Unfortunately, it is visible to the naked eye but not through the camera lens - at least not yet! I will keep trying!

Heading down the canal for sunset on the bay!


Some hungry pelicans looking for a snack!


Beautiful Dakota Kate!


How special is this day - sunset and a full moon rising!

MERRY CHRISTMAS IN MARCH!

I thought some of you would like to see what happens to a poinsettia when you plant it in your yard in the Florida Keys after Christmas is over!!!!!

MY FAMILY

Nor need we power or splendor, wide hall or lordly dome; the good, the true, the tender - these form the wealth of a home. Sarah J. Hale


Dakota Kate LOVES to perch! Here she is on the patio table, surveying the world. And....she always crosses her paws, right over left!



Then there is Jack - handsome, kind, patient, loving, good,true and tender Jack!

WANDA!

Some equipment on sailing vessels just calls out for a name. This is one of those times. Wanda, the Little Wonder watermaker is installed! We love her already!

TA-DA!!!

The cruising larder is filling up. Except for a corned beef (waiting for a St.Patrick's day sale!) I have finished pressure canning. You are looking at hamburger, beef brisket, chicken, pork loin and Italian sausage! The carnivore in this house is VERY glad he married a girl who knew how to pressure can meat! It makes his life so much better!!
