Life in Homosassa, Florida
I went out to take some pictures and it was raining! What a surprise!
But I’m trying to look at the good side of this soggy weather–I have a very luxurious green yard, I don’t have to water it, the aquifer is filling up, and last week when we had a brief bit of sun there were these really cool clouds. Happy Tuesday!

Another beautiful morning in Old Homosassa at the county boat ramp. Scallopers trying to get their boats in and beer trucks making deliveries. Later in the afternoon, these guys are pulling their boats out and late arrivals are trying to get in. Crazy town!
More scalloping fun to come!
While it’s been sum-sum-summer hot since the beginning of May here in Florida and the first day of summer was June 21st, I always feel like summer starts the weekend before Independence Day. That’s when we have our fireworks here in Old Homosassa. And that’s about when scalloping season starts and our little village turns into crazy town! This year we had rain storms for the entire holiday week that finally ended this weekend. And that’s when this year’s party really started!
Saturday was the Second Annual Mullet Toss at Old Mill Tavern! Here’s a few scenes from the afternoon!
And here are a few different mullet tossing techniques that we witnessed!
Then there was the toss into the toilet…
