Its Rafe's birthday!


Rafe--our lab --the early years

An Oldie but Goodie

Not in a blogging frame of mind today, so I looked for an older photo that I really liked....came up with this one!  Have been off & on the phone today with lots of people concerning my Aunt -- the one that's 97 yrs. old--who's in the hospital on the Cape--she's being very feisty & wants to go home--the hospital & the director of the place she lives want her to stay in the hospital one more day......they will prevail in the end, but she's not making it easy for them!

Just a few words Wednesday

The thought that popped into my head when I looked at this photo on the computer was

"Are you looking at me?'

Eduardo's Art

One of the young men that work at SeaHawk Divers has started doing papier mache in his down time at work.  When we were on Isla in January these were the pieces he was working on.  First, a turtle--the close to being finished project.

When he was starting to paint it.  he works on them in front of the shop so you can see them when you go by......

A few days before we left he started working on a hammerhead shark--here's a few photos of the metal frame.

So far, he has been making these to give to friends; would like to have him do something small so we could bring it home!  Maybe next year!

Macro Monday

The snow is gone around the croci ( I think that's the correct plural), but we still have plenty around the yard! 

 Yesterday the sun was out, but it was very windy, so we still the the woodstove cranking out some BTU's.

 Enjoy!

Birds on the Beach

I realized the other day that I never finished posting pictures from our Jan/Feb vacation on Isla.  And now that we're hoping to go back in June, I thought I'd better get them up!

I went  a few mornings( 6:30 or so) up to Buho's to walk along Playa Norte.  Not much activity except for the birds and a few joggers!  A very peaceful time of the day.....

Early Spring Snow

* I guess I was was really wishing it was late spring, but it really is only EARLY spring!  So I changed the title

It's snowing pretty hard right now!  I will say I do like the way it looks--not all the dirty snow we had a few days ago. 

 Hopefully it will all melt quickly!

 Supposed to get to the 50's tomorrow--hope the croci will be OK under the snow!
