Old Homosassa is having it’s first Annual St. Patrick’s day Golf Cart Parade! March 20, 2021 at 2 pm at the Old Mill Tavern. Looks like lots of fun!
The Homosassa Mullet Toss and Spring Festival is coming together. This will be a great event because of the amazing volunteers that have such super ideas! If you’d like to be a sponsor, I’ll have details next week.

I might be posting lots of floral photos in the coming weeks. Spring in Florida is the time of the year!

March is National Quilting Month. I’m dragging all the quilts I haven’t finished and working on them this month! Here’s my scrappy denim and cotton quilt.
I’ve decided to start celebrating more holidays. Today, July 12th, is Simplicity Day. How do I know that? I googled it of course. So this should be a simple post. But it’s not. I have pics and things to say!
Speaking of holidays, it’s Christmas in July! Time to get all those Christmas projects started so you can panic two weeks before the BIG holiday because they STIll aren’t finished. (I have a project I bought all the fabric and supplies for two years ago and it still sits unfinished. Maybe that’s what I should complete before I start something new!)
And back to Old Homosassa, if you have been watching the progress on the Old Homosassa Water Tower…….the landscaping has started.
First the chain link fence around the sides and back was cleaned and painted black. Temporary fencing was installed.
The fill dirt has been brought in.
Now there is a big pile of aggregate sitting there which will be spread around. Landscaping, fencing, and adjusting the lighting is all that remains! Yippee!
Yesterday was the dedication of the Yulee Sidewalk! Most of the people that showed up were those that get the Citrus County Chronicle and all the important people from the county government, the park service, some reps from state, and the contractor. Of course Terry and I rode our bikes down. Someone had to represent the bicycle riders!
There’s Rosey Rendueles–commissioner on the Homosassa Special Water District! And our bikes!
County Commissioner Kitchen and Roger Cullen
Dogs in the Hood on parade!
How cute is that face!
The county publicity person took a photo of all of us. She requested that the dogs be on one side and the bikes on the other. Yes–people do use the sidewalk! Mike Wright, the reporter, showed up and did some interviews. Maybe we’ll be in the paper again!
Again, you say?
Here is a article from this week’s Hometown Happenings!
Old Homosassa has been getting some good press lately. The free camp, the scholarship kids, and now the fitness program! Yeah!
I was out taking snaps of all the pretty plants in my yard for my OTHER blog this past week. And decided to share a few here.
SQUIRRELS IN THE HOOD!
Hey, when are feeding the birds???
“You gotta problem with me being in the bird feeder? Then you need to build a squirrel feeder!”
This is Deedo, the squirrels don’t respect him either.
Just some pics of giant boulders or manatees in my back yard.
After a recent piano lesson, one of the students got bored waiting for Mom to finish a project that she was working on. New uses for yoga blocks!
Sarasota Slim was at the Shed on Sunday. Really great band with a huge following and it’s usually standing room only. Lucky for us, it looked like rain and not as many people showed up. We actually got to sit at a table!
One last thought. I posted about the price war over parking last week in Old Homosassa. The American Legion did very well for their post despite the private owners dropping their price back to $10 per truck/boat trailer. I’m sure we haven’t heard the end of it!
Shrimpapalooza! The Homosassa Ukers will be in the parade. I just finished the banner. Now I need to get some costumes stitched up!
If you haven’t been to the parade yet, it is a ton of fun. Decorated golf carts, crazy costumes, and beads! It’s Mardi Gras Homosassa Style!
The second event is the “Art in the Park” at the Old Mill Museum festival grounds. We went last year. It’s a chance for local artists to display their work.
Old Homosassa Community Day is scheduled for April 6th. I have several non-profit groups lined up plus applications are starting to come in for the Art & Crafts show. The American Legion Post 166 will be at the grill with hamburgers and hotdogs along with beer! Chuck Andrews will be running the Open Mic on the stage. Of course, the Homosassa Ukers will be performing! And just added a cornhole tournament which should be a bunch of fun!
On April 13th, the Homosassa Civic Club and Citrus County will be presenting our FIRST GOLF CART DRIVE IN MOVIE! If you don’t have a golf cart, just come on over with your chairs. Rural King is providing the popcorn! I went to this movie as soon as it came out and am looking forward to seeing it again!
Went to the Luminary Art Walk last Friday. This is so much fun–especially if you live in Old Homosassa. You get to catch up with all of your neighbors!

After coming off of near freezing temps here in Old Homosassa, this weekend we will be back to spring time. Get out there and enjoy our outdoors. Fishing, kayaking, hiking, biking. Perfect Weather!
