This is an ivy plant that lives under a constant drip! The eavetrough after Rock fixed it 4 times, still yeilds 1 drip at a time all the time! even without rain.......we have a lot of dew in Florida, and fog as we live so near to the Gulf and on the water.
This is "George"......he spends more time chasing his peers than anything. When his feathers are puffy....he is so beautiful. This is macro shot of flatleaf parsley. It is supposed to be more flavorful than curly leaf. I have both....
We went to our neighbors for lunch today. Always a great time with Ester and Bob.

Don't have a picture tonight........but did buy new broccoli plants, 3 kinds of tomatoes, gr. bean , zuchinni seeds. Pulled out all the old stuff after picking some broccoli "pieces" that I pick every other day! Eat them raw with hummus.......my favorite lunch. Now I'll have to wait for a couple of months for new ones. Rock steelwooled the hutch.....will polyurathane tomorrow. Was cool today......40 this a.m,. and 60's in the afternoon. Jannie arrives tomorrow, and so does Gasparilla Day in Tampa! We have never been to one in all the years we have lived in Florida! Not about to start either!

Still refinishing the new hutch! Need to steel wool it, then another coat of polyurathane. Will go on the brick wall. Can't wait to fill it!

Was damp and cool today......misty rain all afternoon. We received 3 inches of rain yesterday, just 35 miles east of us was deluged with 6 inches. A bit of flooding there!

This is my new toy!! I love it. Favorite juice is mango/kiwi/apple. It is soooo good!
Used the "macro" on my camera for this pentas pic. Did a good job, don't you think?,Louie?
Same macro for the geranium. I love these!
This is one of the growths on a palm tree in front of house. Is hard as a rock!

Had a busy day today.

Sunday, Jan. 20 Suze doing the chicken dance! Rock and I went down to Suze and J's today. Brought home an outdoor table/chairs they didn't want. (and a desk chair) It is in the 50's and such wind! Decided to roast a chicken and squash. The squash was sprouting its own seeds inside! Have never seen that before! Have in tomatoes though! Waiting for the chicken to cook!
Have you ever seen such a pale chickie? He's sitting on a can of beer!
All done. He popped his cork! Tasted darn good too!!
Bought tickets to "THE FULL MONTY" being presented in Hudson dinner theatre north of us. It should be great fun.

Rock worked on the wall again......will give last sand and then paint to match rest of kitchen. I need to get started on my new hutch! They make stain/polyurathan blends now so only one coat! I hope it works out! Talked to my cousin in Mendota,IL tonight. It is 6 below zero there.

Went to Kelly/Lisa's this afternoon. Lisa's birthday. Out to a new Chinese restaurant in Plant City. VERY good buffet. Rained so couldn't go to the car show. It is always a big one. Pic of KElly and Lisa at restaurant.

Getting ready to throw net. I just noticed, it really looks like WINTER in this shot!! Pulling up the big ones! Water flows from behind,across the street into "our" waters. Lots of fish hang around the pipe for food!
This is a "macro" shot of a bait fish. Looks big but is only about 1 1/2 inches long.

Ken came over today and installed a new "instant hot water" in the kitchen. Old one leaked! Of course he threw the bait net a few times and put new fishing line on 2 poles. I'm ready to catch the big one now!

I really like using a tall, skinny bobber for bluegills!
