Sadly we had to have the old Holly Tree in the front yard taken out. It was in bad shape and there were more dead branches on it than live ones. Particularly sad because there was a mocking bird that had lived in it since we moved here. Many mornings it would be out there just singing away. Hopefully it found a suitable home nearby! We replaced it with a couple foxtail palm trees. Hopefully they grow as fast as the one in front of the deck.


Took a short camping excursion a couple weeks back just to check the camper before our travels. This little fellow showed up a couple mornings checking out our campsite. Fortunately he / she didn’t bring along the folks!

5/2/2026 Brian’s latest folly! 1998 Ingersoll Tractor. I hardly need it to cut the lawn, but it was too cool to pass up! Reminds me of the Kubota I sold – oh so many years ago! One happy little grandson sitting on it!

A little music at Vizcaya! Great party! Got to see a lot of old friends as well as make a few new ones! 4/14/2026
