My new friend who lounged for the better part of the day on my lanai.
What do you think I should name her?

Good morning and #happyfriday … looks like it’s shaping up to be a gorgeous day - and we have a backyard visitor. I’m thinking this may be another hawk, but I am so terrible with birds that I’m sure several of you can assist with the ID.

The girls are not accepting my apologies because the A/C company screwed the installation date until tomorrow but was promised today.

My #Spanglish is taking over. 😜
I don't like the way that the word 'water' sounds.
Especially when properly pronounced.
Agua is smoother to my ears.
Left a very lovely voicemail for my representative about the SAVE Act. You know, since he sent an email asking so nicely.
Now I’ve got my window open to the cool, peaceful night air of the lake. #FloridaLife
A/C Died. Augghh #FloridaLife #FloriduhLife
(un)fortunately new install takes place on Thursday.
My bank account won't be happy.
My girls won't be happy with strangers in the apt.
But at least come Friday, we'll be cool.
...And Po'.
The view from the windshield and passenger side window, showing a wide river with a clear, sunny sky.

We got stuck in 5 o'clock traffic on the bridge but at least the view is nice.

A small alligator suns itself on the grassy shoreline of a lake.
Looked up to see this lil’ dude sunning out back. Photo taken at distance so as not to scare the wee fella. 🐊 #FloridaLife

A beautiful day for a ballgame, at the Tigers’ spring training stadium in Lakeland, Fla. Pirates won 5-3. Their 19-year-old SS prospect Konner Griffin is the real deal; arm like a rifle. #floridalife
A serene, low-angle shot of a translucent seashell half-buried in the sand, captured in the soft, ethereal light of early morning. The retreating tide flows over the shell like liquid silk, creating crystalline ripples that shimmer under a pale sky of gold and soft blue. In the distance, frothy white waves break gently, their mist catching the first light of dawn. The entire scene feels like a quiet, magical moment at the edge of a waking world, where the ocean is offering up its first treasure of the day.
The ocean’s first breath of the day, leaving behind a glass slipper for the tide to find.

Who is this guy?
2 college degrees. Healthiest diet I’ve ever seen. Always positive.
And he chose this.
Watch again.

Slow down. Float a little. Appreciate Florida’s gentle giants (and maybe channel their no-rush energy today).

Folks, it's been really dry, and now it's windy.
So, of course, some a$$wipe is going to throw a cigarette out their window on Alligator Alley. 🤬🤬🤬
It’s amazing to see how nature adapts—turning concrete pilings into vibrant ecosystems.
