Florida Nature: Rain Drops
It rained overnight in Hernando Beach, Florida.  Rain is what we call liquid sunshine in the Sunshine State of Florida! 
The Century Plant outside my window has been budding for quite some time.  This morning, the stems and flower buds are capturing the rain drops. 
Century plants or Agave americana flourishes in the Florida climate. Already revealing a hint of the yellow flower, it will take another week or so before the buds will open and the plant will display clusters of flowers that attract bees and other insects.

florida homes for sale: New Listing! Unusual Tenant Included? - 05/14/09 11:37 AM
Toady I went to inspect a property that I took as a new listing and to take the listing photos.  Just doing my job. I removed a few dead bugs from the vacant home whose owners live out-of-state, I swept a little dirt away from the front door. 
I took my photos, put up the lockbox and the sign.  As I proceeded around the house, a sound got my attention and caused me to look up. 
To my big surprise, there is someone who is calling this house a home already!  Should I call him a tenant? Should I call him … (25 comments)

florida homes for sale: Florida Gopher Moratorium - 06/27/07 11:38 AM
The State of Florida finally is banning developers from burying gopher tortoises alive - yes, you are reading this right, developers could obtain a permit to legally bury live animals during construction under concrete rather than relocating them during the construction process. 
This practice has caused the death of an estimated 70,000 to 80,000 gopher tortoises over the last 16 years the permitting system was in place.  The most disturbing thing about this practice is that these animals don't just die once buried, after all, they do spend a big part of their lives underground.  What actually happens is that the tortoises … (7 comments)

"A 5-year old, Florida concrete block home, with a current replacement value of $150,000, a $500 … (4 comments)
