My Florida Garden: May 2011
May 21, 2011 Spring Hill, FL 34606, USA
It has been quite a while since I've posted. Keeping up with life has been a challenge but one I think I am meeting. One of my challenges has been my new yard. There is something very different about the soil on the west coast of Florida. It sucks! I've noted that it isn't only my yard, but the majority of yards, which are bad. And by bad I mean sand, weeds, sand spurs, very little grass and large sandy areas. I've been fighting this yard for months now. It's looking better but I see a lot more work having to be put into it next February.

Nature Comes a' Knockin' : The Sandhill Crane
February 20, 2011 Spring Hill, FL 34606, USA
Yesterday while studying the shadows in my yard for optimal spring planting layouts, my dog took a sudden interest in something outside of his fenced area. I looked, curious what held his attention, to find there were 5 Sandhill Cranes walking down the street!
I quickly called the girls outside and grabbed my camera. We have seen these quite a bit, since coming to Hernando County, Florida, on the sides of roads, flying over our house and, now walking down our street!
