....Another

One thing leads to another.  Poppa now had a can of oven cleaner, the oven is sparkling, and he has nothing to clean.  Next, I make some pancakes for breakfast.  You know how the bottom of a frying pan gets - kinda yicky looking, but impossible to scratch off - right?  While we're in Florida I cook and Poppa cleans up.  So, of course, he is doing the dishes after breakfast and looks at the bottom of the frying pan.  Hmmmm.....yep, you're right, he decides the oven cleaner might be just the thing for that....

I finished Gramma's socks and mailed them off on Tuesday.  They looked like this:

Quite suitable for an artist - don't you think? Unusual, intereating and a little zany. Hopefully my favourite artist will feel that way about them too! They are that 5th Avenue Funky Sock Yarn - and funky is a good word for them. It was fun working with that yarn because every pair of socks I did was different than the one before. I hope Gramma enjoys them.

While we were out for a walk the other day, we noticed what appeared to be construction beginning in one of the other development areas - adjacent to where the construction ended last year, but it was in a gated area that we didn't have access to, so we weren't sure. Yesterday when we went out the gates to that area were open and a sign pointing to a Sales Office had been placed just inside the gates. Of course, we got curious and decided to walk up that way and see what was going on.

This is one of the houses they are working on, there are a total of four.  When these four are finished and sold they will be almost done in that area and we are guessing that they will move on to the deserted area closer to the clubhouse. 

As you can see by Poppa's outfit - it is still cool here in Florida.  I must point out though, that it is really nice to wander around without coats, boots, gloves or scarves; in the sand - no snow; and listen to the birds singing; look at the alligators sunning...

...and just to keep our spirits up - there are definite signs of spring arriving here.  There are flowers appearing on the bushes...

and there are berries on the holly bushes near the entrance to our gates....

...and last, but definitely not least, the frying pan is gleaming.
