Been quite a while since I've posted here....

other people's trash... on the side of the road, I found this rolling cart....it needs a good cleaning, but there's nothing wrong with it..... if I don't use it {in my sewing room} I'm sure my mother will love it...

 We got a new pool this summer. Of course, the summer that it rained every day! If I hadn't filled it with the hose, it would have been so close to full anyhow, with the amount of rain we received in the first 30 days we had it!

 I love having my morning coffee and a swim!

 Also found this little table with the other one... on the side of the road..... I gave it a quick spray of fresh paint...and plan to use it in my back yard... maybe on the new pool deck.

Sea Fog rolling in to Howard Park, Tarpon, FL

This afternoon, 2/3/14, 4pm...  most people were leaving the beach.... just as we were arriving.

                                  You almost couldn't even see the water.

                             These guys were so friendly, I figured they must usually get fed by beachgoers. We didn't have a thing for them, though.

                                  It went from an 80* day, to 68* once the seafog came rolling in.  This guy didn't seem to mind.

                                               He sure blends in with the rocks!

 Ezra, modeling the 'leggies' and trying out his new owl hat I made for him.

 My 'black cherry' tomato plant has tons of little green tomatoes.... Yesterday I picked 6 black ones, ready to eat.  I'd been waiting for days, finally remembered that these weren't going to get 'red' like normal cherry tomatoes!  I see some more here that are just about ready!  I've got easily 10 dozen tomatoes on this plant!

 Right now, my zucchini plants are huge, but no fruit yet... Kale just got planted a few days ago...Green beans are gonna be ready to pick soon! And we've been eating spinach for a few weeks.

 Squash... is it acorn? or butternut? I've got both....

 here's some green beans...

 Christmas time in Florida... it had to be another 80* day here...

 We even wrapped one of our palms this year.....

 My mother bought me a wreath from Home Depot... I love the smell of fresh cut evergreens... That is the smell of Christmas!  I found these cute snowflake LED lights this year...

 Here's what will be my parent's bedroom... It's where I've been working--- from taping, sanding and priming/painting the walls and ceiling {my father painted the beams}... To tiling this floor.... time to grout it. But first, I'm gonna get our 3rd bathroom grouted.

 Art, with my mother and grandkids, decorating her Christmas tree, tonight, after dinner at her house.
