Twilight in Timber Greens-New Port Richey-Florida-All's quiet, well, sort of. - 07/24/10 04:55 PM
Timber Greens in New Port Richey. We were enjoying our back patio on a twilight evening a week or so ago. It was quiet, except for the woodpeckers laughing, peepers peeping, cardinals cheeping, hawks screeching, hummingbirds zooming by but you get the picture. As it became darker, it became quieter (but not much). The squirrel came out to see if we were diligently guarding the bird feeder. He peeked around the tree and I was waiting to capture him on film. I didn't realize how dark it was getting but I think it turned out well anyway. The chain on his left … (7 comments)

What's the number one weather-related killer in the US? Heat says NOAH - 07/20/10 04:48 PM
According to the experts at NOAH,  heat is the #1 killer weather-related killer in the U.S. (and, you thought it was those frog-choker rains we get here in Florida). In the 1980 heatwave, over 1250 people died. In 1995, more than 700 deaths occured in the Chicago area heat-wave, and the European heatwave of 2003 claimed an estimated 50,000 lives.

Beautiful Red-Shouldered Hawk is back in Timber Greens-Trinity, FL - 07/18/10 10:31 AM
Trinity, FL -Timber Greens. Our Red-shouldered Hawk is still here, I think this is Mrs. Hawk because she's darker than he is, not so many pretty white and brown spots on front. She was sitting up in the tree, looking around for a snack; stayed there quite a while too (even when I went out to take her picture). She just gave me that Hawk-eye and then decided I was much too big for her! See previous post

Sallie D. Skipper for Pasco County School Board District 3 - 07/17/10 11:37 AM
 New Port Richey- Florida Sallie D. Skipper is running for Pasco County School Board District 3. www.sallieskipper.com
I grew up in Florida and attended Duval County public schools for more than ten years. It was a time when the City of Jacksonville was small enough that residents enjoyed a sense of belonging - and my leaning toward community service probably began there. I attended Wolfson High School (Tim Tebow's aunt Patti was a classmate and friend), but I dropped out of public school at age 16 to become a teenage bride.
After my daughter, Lynn, was born, I received my high school … (0 comments)

The Shops at Wiregrass had a cruise-in Car Show Saturday - 07/11/10 12:14 PM
Wesley Chapel-The Shops at Wiregrass had a classic car show yesterday in their main street area. There were lots of cool cars but it was a really hot day. What's great about it is that you can pop into some great shops like Pottery Barn, Chico's, Talbots, and get a blast of really cold air-conditioned air and see some nice things too. I love Wiregrass at Christmas, too, when they have the musical Christmas Tree.

Pileated Woodpeckers in Timber Greens-Trinity-FL-Woody is here. - 07/11/10 11:07 AM
Trinity, FL-Timber Greens -  We have a mating pair of Pileated Woodpeckers every year. It is very difficult to get pictures of them because they usually don't come close to our home but if you look really carefully, you will see the two of them looking for bugs on the tree. Mainly you can see their red cockades. They raise their young in a hole in a tree. I have also seen their two offspring who look almost identical to them at this point.

330 Square Foot Apartment in Hong Kong changes into 24 different rooms! - 07/07/10 09:48 AM
This tiny apartment in Hong Kong has been redesigned by Gary Chang, an architect, to be able to be used as 24 different rooms. Amazingly, this was his family's home where he and his parents lived along with a tenant. Quite a contrast to the 35,000 square foot California castle I recently posted about.

 Timber Greens- New Port Richey. Fourth of July
Call Craig or Toni Weidman 727-237-0083  for Timber Greens Info.

Okay, it was the Fourth of July in Timber Greens and you were expecting maybe an eagle, but this beautiful Red-shouldered Hawk was prancing around on my neighbors bushes. He had a hawk-eye out for the anoles hiding in them. I took a picture of him on the bushes but then he decided to give me an even better picture to take. I think he's gorgeous (so does he). He was our Fourth of July gift.

Home Sales Statistics for June, 2010-New Port Richey, Hudson, Holiday, Trinity Areas - 07/02/10 11:38 AM
Homes closings were stronger in Trinity, New Port Richey, Hudson, Holiday and Port Richey in June due to the $8,000 sales tax credit. Home buyers needed to be under contract by April 30th in order to qualify for the Tax Credit. Home pendings since the end of the Tax Credit have definitely decreased. Most of the 568 still pending should have closed by June 30th, but did not due to the overload on the banks. Fortunately, Congress has extended the closing deadline for those people who were in contract by April 30. The extension is now until 9/30/2010.
