Yikes! Where has this week gone? And for that matter, how about the whole year!!! It’s already March! How did that happen?
I didn’t get many snaps this week. Actually only took pics one day! But there’s three of them!
The new sidewalks!

And this photo from last week. I neglected to post it. And it’s a really cool shot. This is the canal in our back yard. Roseate Spoonbill, Little Blue Heron, and an Egret. The amazing thing about his photo is that I HAVE NEVER SEEN A ROSEATE SPOONBILL outside of the Homosassa Springs Wildlife Park! Especially not in my back yard! Escapee from the park?

We will be at the Luminary Art Night tonight. Starts at dusk. This is a great fun event. Hope I remember to take my camera and get some pics!
Last night we had a full house at the Homosassa Civic Club for Captain William Toney’s informative seminar on fishing the Homosassa area. He spoke for over an hour and a half. I counted 124 in the audience!

Here’s our beautiful Treasurer Christine working at the sign in desk. She works more hours at the civic club than ANYONE! Always there and always volunteering for the civic club and the Old Homosassa Heritage Council. She also clogs, camps, and fishes!
February 20, 2019, First SpiderWort in my Shed garden for 2019.
February 18, 2019, First butterfly that I have seen in my yard. Some may have flittered through while I wasn’t watching!
February 16, 2019, “Toga for the Tower” OOOPA!
Terry and I all smiles!
Lots of stuff coming up in Old Homosassa. I wrote about it for Naturecoaster.com so I’m going to send you over there to check it out!
And Happy Day Before the “Toga for the Tower” party.
Speaking of the tower. A group of volunteers installed some temporary lighting around the base of the Old Homosassa Water Tower.
February 11, 2019, My night pictures never turn out well. Could be because I don’t know what I’m doing nor do I bother to learn. Anyhow, the water tower looks like a little like a glowing spaceship!
I was not one of those volunteers. They had originally planned on CLIMBING the tower with rock climbing gear and installing the lights. Then when they actually got there and stood under the tower, they sad “nah, let’s get professionals”. They put the lights on the ground. We do have some smart people in our group!
Went to a Homosassa River Alliance meeting last night. Commissioner Ron Kitchen was the speaker. It was interesting. Citrus County will start charging $10 to use the county boat ramps. The commissioner was asked a lot of questions about that. And of course the parking issues. There was some discussion about Crumps Landing. Seems that the partners running that party place ask for forgiveness rather than permission. They cut a bunch of trees down which is a big NO in this part of the county.
The sidewalks continue along Yulee Drive. Some concrete has been poured. They are putting them together here and there rather than starting at one end and going to the other. I am assuming that there is a grand master plan.
February 6, 2019, my latest quilt. “Peace”. It’s little–a wall hanging.
And on reflection….
I’ve been trying to be laid back the last couple of weeks. Maybe even since the beginning of the New Year. Reassessing my life. Figuring out what I really want to do and don’t want to do.
Looking at my priorities.
And came to the conclusion, I still want to do all the things. And everything is number one priority.
And so I continue.

February 11, 2019, Heart Attacked!
February 14, 2019 Not my quilt block. Another Cathy in the Sew Cool! Workshop designed this and hand embroidered it. She is SO talented! By the way, there are 3 K/Cathy’s in the group of about a dozen women!
And one more thought for this Friday….
while I was waiting to greet the piano students from the school a man that I only see occasionally said to me, I don’t know if you are a loyal Democrat or a loyal Republican, but the Democrats are ruining the country…..
and whether I am a loyal Democrat or a loyal Republican, I don’t think that’s the way to start a conversation.
Let’s replace some words….I don’t know if you are a loyal dog lover or a loyal cat lover, but cats are giving the world of animals a bad name. Or. I don’t know if you are a loyal unicorn lover or a loyal dragon lover but unicorns are destroying the kingdom. How would a conversation started out like that continue?
I am a loyal American and I vote. In every election since I was 18 years old.
Be Kind. Volunteer to help your community. Be sensitive to other people’s opinions. Respect their view point. You don’t have to agree. Make your world a little tiny bit better.
That’s what I should have said to him. But I just stood there in stunned silence.
And now I have to go. Because I haven’t quite finished my toga for the party!
