Crushed the Camera

Diana is taking a forced break from updating the blog because she ran over her camera with her car. Jaime is in the process of trying to get her a new one. They did take a trip out to the condo and took some pictures on the camera phone, but no one knows how to get those off without paying a fee to email them to someone.

Update on the condo- the drywall is up. The baseboards are on but not finished. Condo people are thinking Ron and Diane will be able to get in September 1st (but they have also been told they would be in by now)...so no one believes anything the condo people say...

Ron takes a bike ride every weekend and has almost been killed for the second weekend in a row. The first weekend, someone jumped out of a truck and wouldn't let him pass. The latest incident involves a car trying to run him off the road. Good ol' Milton...

Close Up


The sun has reached the spot, I tried to photgraph the dew on the top.

Yellow Mushroom



I know it is a yellow mushroom, but what kind? It is really beautiful. It appears almost to have gold sparkles on top. it was covered with dew this morning and if I was just a small portion as talented as Curt is at photography I could have shown you, but alas, I am not close.

Unusual Happening!


Two days ago I noticed something popping up out of the soil in Ron's lemon tree pot. Yesterday it was a short yellow stem and this is what we found this morning! Anybody know what it is. Can't grow what we plant but mystery things seem to pop up with no effort.

The Master Grill King!



Ron prepared dinner for Cindy & Larry lastnight. I picked up some steaks in Montgomery rubbed with their secret ingredients and they were delicious! He is still working on not overcooking things..... per his apron motto.

Pineapples everywhere


Since the girls bought Ron a grill, his specialty is marinated chicken kabobs. After cutting up the pineapples to put on the skewers he plants the tops all over the place. They are in pots, in back yard in numerous places. This is his favorite. It is now over three feet tall.

Orange Tree

Ron's Citrus Grove


LEMON TREE

Woody Woodpecker damage!




The woodpecker has been making some progress with enlarging the opening. He is hard at it again today, Sunday.

One Determined Woodpecker!



Ron's been anxiously waiting for a bluebird to arrive at the birdhouse he placed on the Hurricane Dennis tree remnant. Just about gave up hope when yesterday a woodpecker was bound and determined to make it his home. After numerous attempts and not being able to fit through the hole he got to work and pecked the entire afternoon to enlarge the hole.
