I think this is a Stella D’Ora Daylily. When we moved here there were a few planted under shady live oak trees. Looking spindly and sad. Daylilies LOVE the sun. I moved them to a sunny area along the canal. Then had to move them again when we built the sea wall and they lived in pots for a year. Planted them in another sunny spot where they have survived several floods of brackish water. These plants do persevere. Happy sunny faces.

So much Fun! And Games!

Gil Watson, local artist, created this mullet for adult trophies.

I was asked to make “softie” trophies for the winners of the kids’ divisions. Here they are, inspired by Gil’s mullet!

One of the games is a “punch” board. You pay $20 and get an envelope with a prize ticket. All prizes are worth at least $20. (I’ve heard that there are a few $50 bills on the board. ) I made a small tote for that game along with a six-pack of Sprite.

That little blue worm-like creature is supposed to be a mullet.

Then I made this shopping tote and fish-themed items which is going on the live auction.
