Good day in the DEEP SOUTH

Well today I went to the river for a while. My daughter and her family was there in their new 2008 Sea Hunt towing my Zodiac.

After a while I left and went back to the shop and worked on DeNada for a while.

To end the day Jo Ann and I sat on the Gazebo....I sipped on JD while she had a wine or two. When the coals got right I put two T-Bones on the grill.
A few minutes later we feasted on T-Bones, Salad and Ford Hook Butter Beans..........and are you ready for this......all for less than 20 Bucks.....she is a good shopper and I am a good cook.

Spring has sprung and is in full swing here in the DEEP SOUTH.

Having been to your little Fish River paradise Harry, I can visualize it too. Its been a very, very warm winter and spring here in the Deep South. Me & the Bride did about the same thing Sat. nite on our deck over the boathouse at the camp....sipping martinis and eating chips & dip, just watching the world go by, and our hunningbirds buzz us - many of them never migrated this winter, had them around all winter.

I made us a pizza using a pre-made one from Whole Paycheck jazzed up with extra sliced Cabrini mushrooms, Black Forest ham, fresh leaf spinach, anchovies, sliced Mt. Athos green olives, a super duper olive mix from the Progress Grocery in New Orleans, and FIVE (5) kinds of cheese. Pour some extra virgin olive oil on it, then stick it in a 400 degree oven for about 30 minutes till the crust is real crispy and devour it on the deck with a cold Corona. Its been in the mid 80s every day here for a month but there was a nice breeze and the skeeters don't come out til its pitch dark.

And tonight, Spring is further reinforced here with a Lightening and Thunder storm......first time I have heard thunder this year.

Spring is very very early this year.

We have hummers already too. I hope it's not a bad omen for hurricane season........the insurance industry is acting like it will be a bad year. Forecasters have been quiet too.

Hush yo mouth! ! ! !

That's been on my mind all winter......we needed much more cold weather to cool off the Gulf.....

Anytime the insurance industry gets nervous, our rates go up.

My vegetables are growing incredible this year due to the warm weather along with the banana trees.
