A couple weeks ago it was just a promise of things to come. This weekend we celebrate the 2nd Sat and Sun of 80 degree highs and 60 degree lows. As expected the lawn will need some attention, but that also means the remainder of the landscaping is starting to come out of it's "cold" weather shell! Funny we live our lives so in tune with our surroundings. No coincidence that the pool heater has been pumping the natural gas the last two weekends as well. We enjoyed a full day of soccer, skating and swimming with friends yesterday. Today will likely be a zoo day followed by more swimming and Wii.
The warm weather gets Dad in a good mood as well since the dolphin (mahi) and tuna should be working their way in our direction. Itching to get offshore. Ahhh, if we could just get a little rain. The combination of three months in a dry air cycle, the addition of hot sun and you get very, very dry Florida.....fire season is here. Only a couple small ones to date, but keep your fingers crossed, it's shaping up to be a potentially bad spring.
The spare bedroom is also warming up for the spring season, a few bookings are on the calendar, but there's always room for more. If you're around, drop us a line and check out a night at the Cheek's B&B

We would love to come visit and relax with you in your beautiful pool but it is a bit too far to make the trip!
As far as fishing, here they have an interesting method albeit illegal: they stand in the river with a battery pack on their back much like a car battery with a wire going to a wooden pole and at the end of the wooden pole there is a 8-10 inch bare wire and they use that to stun the fish. Then they net them. Generally the fisherman are dressed in their bikini underwear:) They sell a great number of small dried fish in the market as well as fresh fish. We prefer the fresh tilapia.
