Tom and Jen bought a truck camper.
Day 298: Bokeelia, FL Partly sunny and warm. More on ospreysThis beautiful house is for sale, just across the road from the water, Charlotte Harbor. It doesn’t appear to be inhabited, except for this family of ospreys. Today the whole family was looking down on Tom and me as we walked by. They are making... Continue Reading →
Day 297: Bokeelia, FL Sunny, breezy, warm. There is a wonderful cool north breeze this morning! Just after lunch we went for a boat ride. We had to stop at the marina to fill the two gas tanks. The gas pump at the marina was self-serve. It was pretty easy to get the tanks out... Continue Reading →
Day 296: Bokeelia, FL Windy and warm. On our walk to the pier this morning we saw a dolphin in real shallow water swimming around. All of a sudden, it bolted towards the beach, to even shallower water. I haven’t seen anything like it. It made quite a swoosh in the water. I hope it... Continue Reading →
Day 295: Bokeelia, FL Sunny, humid and warm. We had a big Zoom party for my brother Jim’s birthday. It was so nice to see so many nieces and nephews. This is the fishing pier we walk to twice a day. See the golf cart? If you step on the pier, that golf cart will... Continue Reading →
Day 294: Bokeelia, FL Sunny and hot. We had an afternoon boat ride. Tom saw a manatee come up for air. It was the first time we (he) had seen a manatee in this area of Florida. Another new, thing for us was the horseshoe crabs. As we rode by a small beach we saw... Continue Reading →
Day 293: Bokeelia, FL Sunny and warm. We went to Fort Myers to look at a boat that Ray (homeowner) is interested in buying. Just gave me a chance to don a mask and pick up a pizza and stop at the liquor store!
Day 292: Bokeelia, FL Cloudy, humid, chance of rain. First thing in the morning, we cut down some dead palm branches and got them ready for today’s pick up. I took a shower afterwards, but it was so humid that I was still wet after I dried off. I told Tom we had to face... Continue Reading →
Day 291: Bokeelia, FL Mostly sunny and humid. Maybe I needed a project. Maybe I just got too grouchy for Tom. But the hair sticking to my sweaty, sticky face had to go. It was a team effort. Tom buzzed the back with his hair buzzers and we cut the front with household scissors. It’s... Continue Reading →
Day 290 : Bokeelia, FL Mostly sunny, hot and humid. We slept in the house last night, since Arvi is all covered up and doesn’t get very good airflow. We only saw the woodpecker once yesterday, early in the morning. Maybe he’s giving up his love affair with the rig.
Day 289: Bokeelia, FL Windy and hot. Since the woodpecker won’t give up its romantic attraction to Arvi, we tried something more drastic. Tom sat near Arvi all day. Woody approached Arvi several times, but did not land on it. The neighbor biked by in the morning and asked Tom if this was woodpecker prophylactic.
