Red Sky at Night, Sailor's Delight?

Beautiful sunsets...


Bring morning............Rain!


And gray skies...


And I wish you could hear the rain, slamming on the roof....

A new tradition is born

I decided that I would start a new family tradition for the Florida bunch. Since we are together a few times a year, sometimes near one person's birthday but never near another person's birthday. So, now when we are all together I think we should always have birthday cake and ice cream....

Time for a pre-tropical storm power outage.


Happy Birthday every body.


Candles go out easy with so many mouths to blow.


Two of my favorite people came to the party.
Ben and Jerry!


Jimmy got frosted.

Good job Becca!

And Becca in return.

Good job Linda!

Dad's new pet

Has been coming in the house daily and smashing his wings against the ceiling and the light. I keep putting him out and telling him to run free, but he doesnt get it. This morning he was floating face down in the dog's water bowl and I thought he had gone to the bug box in the sky. To my surprise, he started moving when I picked him up and carried him out to a branch on the tree off the porch. If you could have seen the look in his eyes when I saved him!



He's about 3" long with about a 4" wing span. I wish he would stay out when I put him out!
