  Roses Aren’t Always Red But They Are Always Tasty   It’s been a tough summer for our roses, but I think they’re coming back. The yellow rose bush got eaten several times by deer until we learned to hang slivers of soap on or around the bush.   Oh dear!   Photos taken in Timber Greens, New Port Richey, FL by Toni Weidman     Recent Posts Hudson, FL Home Sales August 2013 Ribbet Is Getting Better All The Time Store Your Library Card on Your Smartphone Foundation for Early Learning Event at Cook’s MuseumHudson Beach, FL-Pretty & Peaceful John Chesnut Sr. Park in Palm Harbor Roses Aren’t Always Red But They Are Always Tasty

 The Sandhill Crane Family - Always Together  Sandhill Cranes are everywhere in our neighborhood; I just love the way the mom and pop stay together for life. What’s even more fun to watch is how they nurture their young. They usually have two babies but most don’t survive the first few weeks. If we have torrential rains, they become victims of pneumonia: or get eaten by crows or hawks.      It’s sad to see these little ones chasing after the parents, and then a few days later Mom and Dad wander by without them. The adults honk and cry for days after the death of a youngster. If the babies do make it through to adulthood, they try to hang with the parents but Mom and Dad fly off and leave them their territory.   This little one didn't make it.     Flame heart effect from Ribbet.com   Rec...

Home Inspections - Why Have One?  Buying a home is not something one does often and should never be take lightly.  A home inspection can save you thousands of dollars in repairs down the road. Buying a home in Pasco County Florida I urge you to perform 2 Inspections. The first is an inspection for "Wood Destroying Organisms". This will be performed by a licensed and insured Pest Control Company. The inspector will scoot up into the attic and crawl over the insulation covered rafters and inspect for signs of previous or active wood destroying organisms such as termites.  This inspection ranges in price from $25 to $250 depending on the company you choose and the size of the home. The second home inspection I urge you to get is a 4 Point Home Inspection and Wind Mitigation. A 4 Point Home...

He's Got Swagger in New Port Richey, FL You know how much we love classic cars, and that we are looking for one to buy. We were heading to our favorite supermarket yesterday when along came this beautiful 1951 Chevrolet. The owner was so proud of it (and he had every right to be) that he drove around the parking lot so I could take pictures. Unfortunately for us, he didn't want to sell it.   But he did have swagger (are you getting as tired of that word as I am?)       Recent Posts Sold in The Preserve at Fairway Oaks,Hudson A Monster Visits Flood Insurance is Going UP Stand Down Pasco Price Adjustment in Beacon Woods What’s Under the Butterfly’s Wings?   He's Got Swagger in New Port Richey, FL

A Monster Visits My Window   Along with the beautiful butterflies, we had a monster visit our garden this week. He seems to be wanting to come inside but I don’t think that’s going to happen. Doesn’t he look like something out of a 1950’s movie?   Look at those skinny knees! I bet he can leap tall buildings with a single bound! I hope you have a monster-free day today.   Recent Posts Price Adjustment in Beacon Woods What’s Under the Butterfly’s Wings?
