Florida Trip

We went to Wekiva State Park for a picnic today. It's a great park centered around a large freshwater spring. Lots of people were swimming in and around the spring since the water is very cool as it comes from deep underground. We grilled out hotdogs and hamburgers with these fine guests: Lew and Dorothy Petzold, Roxanne, Alex, Lewk&Nancy, Shonda, Collan, Justin, Shelley&David, Cameron, Polly and me!

Boston Harbor Association

TBHA cleans and protects Boston Harbor. Last year alone, they collected 150 tons of debris from the harbor. Clean harbors mean safer boating, swimming, and fishing. On April 27, TBHA hosted their annual fundraiser at the Boston Harbor Hotel. There was a silent and live auction at the benefit and we scored BIG! Polly won the auction for a Boston waterfront walk with the City Planner, Rebecca Barnes. We also won a boat trip and tour of Boston Light, the beacon at the entrance of Boston Harbor, as well as an insider's trip and tour of the Newport, RI mansions! We ...and our MasterCard...rock!!!

Walking Along Wollaston Beach

What a nice day today! Highs were in the low 70's and tomorrow we should hit above 80! We walked the length of Wollaston Beach, from our condo to Furnace Brook and back. Wollaston Beach has a great view of the Boston skyline, as well as some peeks of open ocean. Wonderful smells of fried food wafted in from the beachfront clam shops and the cacophony of urban boom boxes mixed with the snarls of cruising cafe racers and choppers made everything feel just like...summer! By the way, what is the DEAL with horseshoe crabs? Every time you see one they are either freshly dead or on their last gasp. Millions and millions of years of evolution and there they lay on the edge of the beach, upside down, trying to flip themselves back over! Geez...

Spring is Here!

We hit 60 degrees today in Boston! Spring is here! Time to get the gardens going, so head on over to Miller Nurseries and White Flower Farm and get a head start on your neighbors!

The Blog Life: My New System

OK, I had a pretty good website that i made using image maps and photoshop. Took a while to build, but when it was done, I was very proud. Problem was, it took so much time and energy to create a website, there was now energy left to update it. Everyone got used to seeing the same old tired pages and stopped coming by to check things out.

But that's all changed now. I'm a blogger, and I can update my website easily and quickly...if I so choose!!!

Rainy Weekend in Boston

It started raining on Friday night and hasn't let up until Sunday morning. I'm about to check today's weather at wunderground. If you haven't tried wunderground, you might like it. It's free, but if you pay them $5 a year, they will get rid of all ads for you. It's a lot easier to use and has no pop-ups like weather.com.
