Roxy, Boxy and Garden

Things have been so normal that I could find nothing different, unusual or exciting to add to this blog. I feel I bore you enough with beach, clouds, birds and all there has been lately is more beach, clouds and birds. 
However, part of my life is feeding my neighborhood kitties and occasionally other wildlife. This morning my pal Roxy the kitty was joined for breakfast by Boxy the turtle. He was eating her cat food and drinking her water. 

 

Sweet.

Another exciting part of my life that doesn't involve beach, clouds etc. is my garden. This is my first venture into growing my own food beside the occasional tomato plant, that is.
Here it is the day I started it — the first of November. 

A month later...

And just last week after replanting the romaine which had grown up to my chin!

Even more amazing is that I've been eating out of it every day, often two or three times a day. Even sharing it with neighbors can barely keep up with the growing greenery. Who knew I had a hidden green thumb? Yum!

Superlative

Yes, today is Super Bowl day and it was a super day for kiteboarding and it was a super day for just being out on the beach. What more can I say!

Dazzling skies

Summertime I seem to capture stunning sunrises because of my before-the-heat treks to the beach. During the winter I am equally thrilled with the variety and magnificence of the skies, though they be entirely different.

Above celebrating the end of January 2012 with skies that looked like someone had taken a big paintbrush of white to streak the blue.

February's beginning brought a dazzler of sun and sea. 70º wasn't so bad for a February 1st morning either. Oh frabjous day!
