Never a dull moment in Old Homosassa!

Still looking for artists and crafters for the Old Homosassa Community Day on April 7th.  Only $20 for a booth.  This is going to be a ton of fun!  Chuck Andrews is doing open mic on the stage and has invited many of his friends to sing.  These people are professionals that sing all over the place and are great.  And they are doing it for free!  Just to support the community!

Oh yeah, the Homosassa Ukers are also playing.  And just want to say that we are not professionals!  11:30 on Saturday, April 7th.  Come to our debut concert.  Right there on the stage.  With Chuck trying not to laugh!

I tried to get one of the guitar students to do open mic.  She is a great singer.  She said no.  I said oh, it will be fun.  She said will there be people there?  I said yes.  She said no.

Here’s a cool puppy pic!

That’s Leroy. He was so excited to meet Lexi that he wouldn’t hold still long enough for me to take a snap. His tail was going about 100 miles an hour. Lexi got a lot of puppy kisses.

Spent a day at the courthouse for another county commissioners’ meeting.  We are inching closer to getting the Old Homosassa Heritage Park turned into a reality!

Have a great weekend!

Good Day!

I haven’t been home much over the past few weeks.  Busy Busy Busy.  By the time I get home in the evening, all I want is a glass of wine. (or 2 or 3 or 4)

But I have been taking snaps.  With my iPhone.

Went to the Ozello Chili Cook off and stopped at BackWater Fins for a bowl of blue crab chowder. (it it the BEST chowder ever!) Thought the license number on this boat was kinda clever!

Just a couple snaps of the view Thursday evening.

And finally some damn squirrels pics.  They suddenly set off the squirrel alarm.  (If you live with squirrels, you know what that is)  They were all pretending to be statues while the alarm sounded.  Usually it means there is an owl, hawk, or cat in the yard.  I couldn’t spot anything.

Freeze tag!

Did find two huge squirrel nests in the trees.

Their hi pitched squeals went on for awhile. Then I realized that the news was on and they had just heard about Putin’s new nuclear weapons and saw the rendering on TV of the bombs dropping on Tampa Bay.  So this was the new squirrel NUCLEAR alarm drill.  No owls, cats, or hawks.  Just practicing.

Luminary Art Walk tonight.  Shrimpapalooza on the 24th.  Old Homosassa Community Day on April 7th.

Did you read my posting on NatureCoaster.com?

Have a great weekend!

Spring is busting out all over here on the Nature Coast.

This is Bridal Wreath Spirea.  (At least I think that’s what it is) I’ve never planted it because it only has flowers for a few weeks and then looks like a scraggly bush the rest of the year.  This year it’s everywhere!  Just blooming like crazy all along the roads and paths.

My white azaleas are the same way.  Never have they been so beautiful.  I’m just guessing, but maybe these bushes needed that cold snap back in December to produce such lush flowers.

How about the Olympics?  I love the Winter version.  Any sport where the participants have to wear shiny pointy weapons on their feet and go really fast has gotta be fun to watch!  And then there’s curling.  And skiing.  Okay.  I could go on and on.

“Cocktail Hour for the Tower” was a huge success.  And a lot of fun.  Now we can turn our full attention to the 2nd Annual Old Homosassa Community Day on April 7th.  If you want a booth it’s only $20!!! What a deal!

Next event in Old Homosassa is the 18th Annual Luminary Art Walk on Friday, March 2nd.  We always try to make it to the art walk.  Lots of fun.

Okay, that’s it for me!

Have a great weekend!
