Yoicks, watch out for water moccasins and gators when you're out there wading around, won't you!! No eels, Ken, electric or otherwise, and we can only hope the snakes get zapped if the lightning does hit the lake. Snakes and bugs are the two worst things about living in Florida, just my opinion. But we do all coexist.
Jim, there's a benefit to all that water around your mango tree - the raccoons and squirrels can't get to the fruit before you do! Hm, maybe I'll build a moat around my tree next summer . . .
Hm, you don't think the little native tampensis seeds itself out in the wilds, huh? Well, no harm in trying anyway. I'm mystified as to how the heck it got itself pollenated, since it was in the pool cage the whole time it was in bloom.
We sure got hot and soggy today when we went over to the Sailing Squadron to put away the boat. It had seaweed stuck in the rigging 'way up the mast, and everything was salty and a mess. Plus there was no wind, because of course we wanted to get it cleaned up and the cover on before the rain came. Pphheeww!! We were cooked by the time we finished.
The little mauve Spathoglottis actually stood still for the picture for once.
