Dorian is coming, we’re getting ready
Hurricane Dorian is a fierce storm. I thought using the camp stove for our morning coffee would be a wise thing to do. So I set it up on the pool deck and we enjoyed a really tasty and robust cup o’ Joe this… Continue Reading “Dorian is coming, we’re getting ready”

Sheldon is New at the Zoo!
There are three fine zoos within easy driving distance of my part of Florida. I love them all. The Brevard Zoo in Melbourne is a real pleasure. I’ve spent many hours there checking out the wildlife and I’ve done the zip line, too. A… Continue Reading “Sheldon is New at the Zoo!”

It’s such a marvelous thing when you find amazing natural beauty in unexpected places. About two miles from the neighborhood where I live is a web of subdivisions all tagged with the Deerfield name. There are four or five different subs all told; it’s… Continue Reading “Beauty in the ‘burbs!”
