Another hot hot hot week in Homosassa! But no rain! (And no my plants are very thirsty)
We have a gator in our canal. It’s a small one. Normally I wouldn’t be too concerned but it’s not afraid of me. I was standing on the seawall and it swam right up to me. Not good. Someone is feeding it. Which means that small dogs and cats are in danger! Maybe even grandkids. One of the neighbors has already contacted the gator people and has a trap all set up. Good bye little Gator!
Next up, according to the Citrus Chronicle there is a Sidewalk Celebration at the Sugar Mill Ruins Historic State Park on Thursday, July 11th at 9 am. Open to the public. No RSVP is needed to attend. What??? Nothing about who is holding this ceremony nor who will be there. I think I need to be there. No RSVP needed! (And who would we RSVP? And how many people even know what RSVP means?)
We did ride the sidewalk last week all the way to BlueBird Springs road. Pretty cool. I’ve seen a lot of people using the sidewalks. Then I’ve seen people continue to walk and ride their bikes right on Yulee. Guess they like the thrill of possibly being hit by one of those huge mirrors hanging off the side of the trucks pulling boats!
Sooooo…..
Next Up!
Homosassa’s Fireworks were held last Saturday. It’s always held before the 4th of July. Usually the weekend before. Then Inverness has theirs on the 3rd and Crystal River has theirs on the 4th. But this was TWO weeks before the 4th. A lot of locals didn’t have a clue. Terry and I went down on the golf cart about an hour before the fireworks started just to see what we could see. We missed the pie eating contest and the red white and blue beer belly contest but there was still fun happening!
Ruth got 3rd in the Poker Run! Go go Ruth!
These three desperadoes posed for me! That’s DJ, Vivian, and Sean. They were three of my favorite after-school students in 2018. Miss you guys. (And seriously, these are really cute kids!)
Lots of Patriotism on display!
And there were dogs in the hood…
And of course fireworks. Which were great but my pics don’t do them justice!
So what are you doing on this hot hot hot weekend? I had planned on going to the Citrus Pride event at the Crystal River Mall but my grandson’s baseball team is playing for the state championship so I’m headed out to watch them win! Yeah, he’s 8. Should be fun!
Have a great time where ever you go!
