Friday Meanderings

Happy first day of Hurricane Season!

Despite the bands of storms that have plagued us for the entire month, I still got out and got stuff done.

Here’s a view between downpours:

My flowers are loving the weather!

First plumeria bloom this year.

On Monday we went to the Memorial Day service at the Old Homosassa Veterans Memorial.  It was raining that morning, quit, had the service, the civic club cleared everything out and stored the equipment, and the rain started back up.  Didn’t quit until Thursday morning!

Went to see my friend Paula play at the Shed.

Got the electricity line fixed that runs to the dock. Lights are back on after being dimmed for a few months!

Finished a quilt….
Stitched up a tote!

The rain was probably the worst on Wednesday.  DID NOT EVER STOP!  Still managed to make it to the Old Homosassa Learning Center and wade in to join the Homosassa Ukers followed by a music session with my banjo and friends!

 

Packed up and ready to go!

Sad to say that I didn’t get to pet any dogs this week.  But I did download this sketch!

The weather is changing and sunshine is forecast!

Get out there and enjoy it!

Have a great weekend!

Today I have a smattering of snaps for you:

This Troll

Decided to come out of Easter Storage this week to keep me company in my office.

This Lizard

Was infatuated with his reflection. For a week he could be found on the giant mirror in the garage. You don’t have a giant mirror in your garage?

This Alligator

It’s been raining. A lot. This guy came in out of the rain.

This Spice

Mom, I think that they are beyond my help!

If you don’t read the NatureCoaster.com, here’s a link to my article from this week.  Also, I write on my other blog Designs by KTGreen at least once a week–usually Tuesday and Thursday.  So if you are missing me, you can usually find something I wrote in one of those two places!

Last day of school was yesterday.  The Homosassa Elementary teachers and staff lined up on the side walk and as the buses pulled out the bus drivers honked and the kids hung out the window waving like crazy back at the teachers. All the sewist in the Sew Cool! Workshop lined up in front of the Learning Center, too.  As the last bus headed up Mason Creek Road, we heard one of the teachers say “And where’s the beer truck?”

Today, Friday, May 25th 2018 at 1 pm, Jodi Lanier will be having a presentation at the Homosassa Springs State Wildlife Park on wild flowers.  Besides knowing all about wild flowers, Jodi knows all about the Chassahowitzka River.  If you ever want to do a kayak tour she is the person to contact.  Just email me and I will send you her info!

Hurricane season doesn’t officially start until next Friday but there’s a tropical storm headed this way now.  It should just bring rain to us but after several days of torrential downpours, the streets in Old Homosassa should be flooded!  The signs are already out saying “Flood in area” because of the storm that came through on Tuesday. Be careful!

Have a great weekend!

Hey!  How are ya?

I keep thinking that I’m going to catch up and do a lot more posting now that the after-school program is over at the Old Homosassa Learning Center.  But, stuff happens!  Sometimes fun stuff!  Sometimes really b-o-r-i-n-g stuff.

Anyhow…

It’s been raining here.  Like a lot.  Like almost tropical storm raining. Like. Um. Like.

My yard is SO happy!

Before the rain started, went on a cocktail cruise.  Haven’t done that in LIKE forever.

Here’s 3 photos that I liked.  For no particular reason.

Haven’t done a “Dogs in the Hood” lately.  These guys were protecting their territory.  Nope.  Won’t go in your yard!

But This cutie, just wanted to come with us!

Take me, please. I’ll be good. I’m a great sailor. Take me. PLEASE!

The rain has made some great views and HIGH water.
