Too Late for Photos

Sunny Destin, Florida, a place we really, really liked

Bought some grapefruit in sunny Florida when Alan took us down the last week in December. We ate a bunch of them...so much tastier than the kind in stores up here...and then I FORGOT THEM!!!

They languished in the crisper drawer until this morning, when I realized that I should probably throw them away. I hauled them out to the compost but then decided to cut one in half for the Catbirds.

It was perfect! Juicy, fragrant, and lovely. The Catbirds think so too.

So I hauled the nicest ones back in and am eating one with fresh May strawberries. Awesomeness in a bowl, I gotta tell you. Two seasons and two states combined to make a breakfast surprise that is certainly going to be duplicated on the morrow.

How about that? Who knew?

The combination is so delicious that it is too late for photos.

Sun dappled NY. We like it here too...at least this time of year

Rude

We had a rude awakening last night...well, we weren't all asleep yet, but everyone was winding down for the day.

Suddenly horrible winds came up. The whole house shuddered and shook. Rain flew sideways and lashed the windows like pebbles flung from a slingshot.

I guess damage was done around the region, trees down, power out, but other than the lights flickering and the lawn chair....a vintage metal one btw...being tossed over for the hundredth time, everything seems fine so far.

Sure was wild though.
 

GatorQuest, success at last!

Whose Day is it Anyhow?

This guy's.

If you see him today in the far away home of Philly cheese steaks, wish him a happy birthday....or hit him up here if it's handier.

Meanwhile, happy birthday, kiddo. Hope the weekends make up for spending it on the job. Love you!
