Sarasota

Had a great trip to Florida to visit my mom & dad. It was all too quick though. The trip home I went from 77 degrees to 7 in a matter of 12 hours.
My mom had just bought a new digital camera so we were really getting into
seeing who could take the "shot of the day".
I do have to give her credit for some
of the shots below, nice work momma.

"Unconditional Surrender"

Farmers Market

This is an injured owl that was rescued and exhibited at the local art fair.


We went to Thunder by the Bay Festival, an annual
motorcycle event and fundraiser.
The Budweiser Clydesdales were beautiful & huge.

Wings at the beach, chicken wings that is.

Foggy morning jog
(we ran just long enough for paw to get the shot)

Thanks mom & dad for a great trip.
Love you!

Blog Cabin

I've been counting the days until I could post photos of our new log home but unfortunately that isn't going to happen. Our offer was accepted pending septic/well inspection. Septic, a-ok, the well is not on the property.
The original owner ran out of funds while building the home and sold a part of the lot to the neighbors. That parcel had a small out building on it. Inside the building is what would have been our well. We had an estimate done to re-drill on our property and it came back at $16k. The bank (owner of the home) wouldn't budge. Maybe in 6 months they will, who knows.
The search continues....
