Right now I am listening to KQED-FM from San Fran (show on Bobby Blue Bland-next is Prairie Home Companion).
I can get WORT radio from Madison and the local NPR radio too... Got any suggestions for other great stations?
Saw this gator checking out this little blue heron eating a fish tonight while I was on my walk around the neighborhood.....
I knit these just like you would do socks on circulars...it gets a little tricky around the thumb....
I combined some lovely sock yarn with some tilli tomas beaded....

Red Tailed hawk on the Braden River near Linger Lodge today
We were sitting where the boats turn from the Marina Jacks harbor and many of them were going the wrong direction! Weather was balmy and perfect...The Elvis boat was great as well as the small boat that looked like snoopy's plane.

4 day weekend is over--darn!
Had a great time kayaking with the girls/guys yesterday...Its been cold in the mornings (around 50) so we went out at noon---nice then---about 68---we immediately saw a dolphin that swam around us---then after watching him we went thru the mangroves to robinson preserve----loads of jumping mullet and many birds including flocks of wood storks. Harwood caught 4 mullet and I sailed a bit with my sail...we were blocked off half way up becuase they are protecting an eagles nest with two eaglets...so we couldn't paddle to the tower. We went thru a long mangrove to Pelico Bay and back...great time had by all..
Kayaking 1:30 PM at Nokomis Jetty---saw a dolphin lots of Osprey with fish etc...
Mah Jonng at 6:30 PM at GAILS
only won two games but was fun
Its only Friday night and I feel like I have to go in tomorrow---but I don't!
Today after a bit of Black Friday shopping with a couple of friends-I took dad to Myakka park where we did photos for our Xmas card. Dad did well walking to the dam where we saw some good sized gators...the weather was a nippy 65 (brrr) for FLA! but clear and wintery–nice change of pace for these parts. (The photo of us below is one of our rejects-that is the upper Myakka Lake)
I put up the little xmas tree yesterday and dad did the other decorations in the house. Last year he was in such bad shape--this year hes soooo much better!

Lucille, Gene and I met at the Shoreland Park launch at 10 am. Lucille and I hadn't seen each other since April so we took pictures of each other. We launched at 10:12 and travelled 4.5 miles in 3 hours. I borrowed Gene's cameras battery as I had left mine in the charger and he has the same camera as me. It was a wonderful overcast day which makes for great photo opportunities. Oscar Scherer - South Creek- is a lovely area and as we padlled upstream we smelled the campfires for the campers along the river. We saw many other kayakers-even an inflatable, as well as canoers with dogs in their canoes. I got a couple of good dog photos from the bridge at the nature center where we stopped for a stroll after we returned from passing the dam and managing to go a little further upstream. Gene and Lucille played some checkers at the Nature center and Gene enjoyed saying KING ME! many times. On the paddle back Gene And Lucille stopped for lunch but I headed back as I am on my special diet and was feeling a little weak. It was a little tricky finding the launch without my GPS or Gene as there are a lot of possible spots to enter to get back to Shoreland Park. I did take a wrong turn once but a guy trimming his palm tree told me I was just a little bit north of the launch. Fun day! Saw some birds but thats about it---although saw a small gator sunning here at home by a pond and a beautiful red tailed hawk that was on a telephone pole.
