Croquet

 

If you want to play croquet, don't let a pair of twin babies get in your way.

Viceroy

A viceroy butterfly, not a monarch.

Visitors

 We have visitors.  Yay!

Puff

 For weeks, we have had clear blue skies and high temperatures of high 80s and even low 90s.

Can you imagine complaining about weeks of blue skies?

Yesterday the sky was full of puffy white clouds.  The high temperature was a comfortable 82 degrees.

And there was a light breeze.  Ahh!

Education Murals

Two 2023 murals by Keith Goodson at the Baker Central School in Punta Gorda.  

Benjamin Joshua Baker was the first teacher hired to teach at the "colored" school (now Baker Central School) and later its principal. For almost 20 years, Mary Nightingale drove the bus that carried black children from all over Charlotte County to Punta Gorda and the Baker school.

Happy Easter

 

I have never understood why bunnies have become symbols of Easter.  Kind of like a fat bearded man in a red suit and eight reindeer's association with Christmas.

Chad

Chad is both an artist and a manager of artists.  He has been a bartender and has run a modeling agency. 

 He had a 120 gallon aquarium with rare corals and rare fishes.  

I often run into Chad walking his dog.
