Sittin here,watching the birds on my bird feeder here!..Yesterday,this squirrel decided to run up the pole,so he succeeded...(I guess the Vaseline .that I smeared up'n'down the pole wore off!)I thought well,have at it,enjoy it while it's there....(it turns out,there was some vaseline left over)...Ya know,you can sit here and watch these little squirrels all day!!...He'd go up the pole,slide down afew inches then go up again and slide down afew inches!!!!....
 Afew days ago,there were two baby blue jays hoping around the back yard here....They'd hop some and flap ,hop some and flap!!!A raccoon with a broken right hand has been coming around for the past few nights....(kinda glad he waits till after supper and I'm in watching tv till he comes around)

Thur.March 26.
Sittin here watchin the rain come down,went around closed the windows,well,atleast leftem open a crack...As I was closing one,I noticed a big chicken snake outside the kitchen window!.. I have been seein snakes for the last few days,could be as many as 10-15 in the last 2 weeks!!...
Fri.March 27.
Saw 2 snakes this morning,one was chasing after the other.Ya know,I've lived in different places,and seen the occasional black snake here'n'there,but never had I ever encountered a place like this!..I mean don't get me wrong,I like this house very much,it just seems like every time I look out the window,I see a snake!..Then we went to Publix...
Sat.the 28,
Took a walk to the park,did alittle work on one of the key holders I made..It needed some more sewing...And while I was there I had some company(in the form of wildlife,birds/squirrels)a good thing I bought that bag of peanuts!!...So I threw some handfuls of peanuts while I sewed!..(it was a good day)
Sun.the 29,
Last couple of months I noticed the birds outside my window,bluejays/cardinals and of course the squirrels!..So I thought,I really don't need a few bird feeders,really don't need any actually,just a plate filled with peanuts and bird seed will be just fine...`
Wed.April 1,
Didn't really do much today,just kinda sat around,filled up the feeders...Didn't do much yesterday either,except go out to a few stores,had to stop at Ace Hardware to get something then went to get a few things from Publix...
April 3,
We had to go to Publix today,walked around,helped my Mom get what she needed for our little party Sun...We're gonna have my Bro.and a few friends from around the corner....Anyway,I got a few things then checked out and sat on the bench,ya know,you see alot when you sit on the bench!!...Talked with some friends of mine,talked about what we were all having on Sun.Then they left,sat alittle more,lots of people buying hams!..Lots of kids,some of those kids could have had accidents...One walked around the counter to where the cashier stands!....
Easter Sunday...
We had bought two hams,(did that last year too)well,atleast we'll have leftovers for a few days!..There was myself,a friend from around the corner,my Bro...(which is always exciting)my Nephew,and my Mom..We all had a really good day!...
On Tue. we took my Bro.back over to the beach,(he's got a house over there)...On our way back,stopped at Steak'n'Shake,went in,sat down....Then Thur.we had trouble with the air,called the guy that works for the Landlord,the Landlord lives in Conn.so we called this other guy,came right over,fixed the air,he and his Wife stayed a bit,we had a nice little visit!..Then just yesterday,Fri.,my other Bro.came to visit,flew in from Calif.....(and boy were his arms tired!...ha ha ha)Came in to Orlando and stayed with my Nephew for a few days,then came down here,then down to the Keys,and hopefully when  he heads back up,he stops by here!...

Well just this past weekend I,my Mom and my Nephew went to 'Camp Holly'...

Actually,it was Sunday,and we were going to have lunch!...Nice restaurant that has hamburgers,fish and than some!...Were you can eat either in or outside at one of the picnic tables!.. Every Sunday they have live music,and bein it's right on the edge of Lake Washington,they even let you fish!..(just try not ta catch an alligator)...You can put your own boat in or you can take a site seeing tour on an airboat....However the cook wasn't in that day so we just ended up goin to 'Denny's'!!...

Just got done working on a 'key holder' ,really don't have any kinda name for it,think maybe I'll call it a 'Wampum Key Holder'unless anybody can come up with something better,I'm all ears...A few weeks ago,I went down to the park,and made an 'arrowhead necklace'!..

10 snacks to take with you you can eat in the stand or blind!..

Number 10 :

Doritos,I do not recommend!..You pull the bag apart to open'em and they're just to noisy!..Doesn't matter if you are in the stand or in a blind,even if you're sittin in a blind that conceals 365 degrees,you're still makin to much noise,not just the bag but every time you bite into a chip!..It doesn't have to be Doritos either,it can be any kind of chips...

Number  9 :

Twix?..Ok I suppose,as long as you open the bag quietly from one end and just kinda take the other end and just sorta hang it up-side down,and let the two bars kinda slide right out...Better yet just have them in your pocket or sometin when you reach the  stand  or blind!..But then if it's too warm you have to worry bout meltage!...(maybe I should've put this at number 10)

Number 8 :

Wouldn't exactly recommend these in the stand,I see these as more of a 'blind' food!!..(lol)Maybe tear open one side and if you hunt out of one of the blinds that conceal ya all around,you can maybe make alittle 'make shift' table...Or just pull 1 every few mins.just be careful though,that is quite alot of hand and arm movement,especially if sittin next to a tree out in the open!..

Number 7 :

Like the Twix,ya have to be careful of the warm,or else ya end up with 'MilkyWay Soup'!..As I said before,just tear open one end and hang it up-side down and let the bar just slide on out,but ya don't wanna eat this with the rapper on,unless ya wanna scare everything away!!...

Number 6 :

The Snickers and the MilkyWay can both be 'Stand' food...However I really don't recommend this of 'Twix',the reason being when you tear op the twix rapper and let the bar slide out into your hand..........whoops..........one might fall right down to the leaves below!!...

Number 5 :

Not treestand food,unless ya have a pretty wide stand...(maybe like a pallet or sometin)Unless you have one of those little square-zippered coolers,you may have to brown bag-it!..I can see eating this in a 'blind'...

Number 4 :

Here we are,the final 4!..
These are another one of those snacks,that ya wanna becareful of the temp.Ya go to the store,pick up some of these 'soft batch' from keebler,or,just basically any kinda cookie is a good snack to have whether you're in a stand or in the ground blind!..Just before you leave in the morning or afternoon,take maybe 3 or 4 and put'm in your pocket...

Number 3 :

Aahhhhhhhh candy corn!!...
You can literally grab a handful of this and put'm in your pocket!..And un like reeces or m'n'ms or skittles there is no temp.factor here so you don't have to worry about them melting !..Although any kind of little candy,be it candy corn or m'n'ms or skittles or whatever else you want is a good thing cause like I said,you can literally take a handful!..

Number 2 :

Grapes are pretty quiet to eat,them and bananas...(that's why I put'm together)

Well,can't think of much to say about grapes so I'll just skip to bananas!..Bananas are easy to peel,they don't make any noise,same thing goes for when you're eating them to,and when you're done,you can either pack your trash out or you can dump-it right where you're sitting!....(it'll either turn into a tree eventually or it'll become food)

Tue.March 3rd,sittin here in my recliner,looking out my window,up at the bright blue sky,what a beautiful day it is out,and it's 82 degrees out......(that's 82 fri cken degrees)...Ok,now that I got that off my chest,last night I just finished making a Dreamcatcher for a close friend of mine to give as a gift...

.
A friend of mine came over today,lookin for alittle work,so I said sure you can cut the grass if ya wanna!..(so he did)Man,I've been pretty lazy these last few days,I don't know if it's the warm weather or what,but after 12 (aft) it just seems like I'm tired for the rest of the day,I could just sit and not move a muscle!!...(ya know)...I am more of a morning person,always was probably always will be!!...Just like how the dew falls of the leaves,the birds and other wildlife comes to life,watching the sunrise!!

Thur.Feb.19.
Woke up around 8am and it was about 43,and the high reach up to 55 and they call for 33 tonight and 58 tomorrow,which is alittle on the chilly side for Florida!..(it got down to 31,and the high reached up to 58)....Hey,this is Florida!..Spend enough time down here,and eventually a cold snap will feel like '0' !....
Today is Saturday,starting out alittle overcast,had abit of a shower,nothing of any real measurements...Already in the upper 60's at 10:00 so I walked to the park,finished a key chain I was working on...About a week ago I made a necklace with black'n'red beads,and an arrowhead....

 I make alot of stuff,I try to do it though with a Native American theme,so if you're looking for a Dreamcatcher or bracelet or key chain or whatever....(just not to small)...I have a Facebook page set up just for this :facebook.com/spotted.wolf.1 ,I have made some Dreamcatchers that I sent out to central Fla.

Well,it's Thursday Feb.5 2015.I'm sitting in my recliner watching the rain,no thunder no lightning,just rain!...(watching the rain fall and the tomato plants grow)Yesterday my two Nephews showed up,before that though,I had the Cable Guy come out to do a few things to my tv,Never expected the two of'em to arrive so early,I had  a 12-2 appointment and they got here like about 10:30!!....(just so there's no confusion this was morning)
The 10th....A few weeks ago I took a walk down here to the park,there I was sitting on the bench and I noticed the leaves falling...(yes some trees actually turn colors down here)I'm sitting on the bench,watching leaves fall,I mean here it is early Feb.and leaves are just starting to fall!!....Kinda shows you how crazy the weather is here!!...(leaves are falling during late winter / just before spring,grass and the leaves are still green at halloween and thanksgiving) I always said  "Fla.has 2 Springs and a Fall"!!

Fri.the 23rd,took a walk down the park,only bout quarter mile walk...(not far)It was a nice day,mostly sunny skies,lower 70's...It's nice place to walk to...It's separated by a deep ditch...(irrigation canal)but there is a walk bridge,so a person can walk down one side and cross over the bridge and walk back up the other side!..As I said,it was a nice day for a walk to the park...
 Didn't do much till the following Thursday,went to Wickham Park!...A 391 acre park,that has many activities...biking/camping/frisbee golf,just to name a few,I went there to shoot some arrows...(stay loosened up)Much much bigger than this Tallwood Park,bout quarter mile away,and alot more to do too!..It's not all that bad being here,ya here the occasional siren,like I said before,it's the quiet part of town...but then this is Fl.so it doesn't stay quiet to long!..

Haven't been around in a while

Well,haven't 'posted' here in a while...Up till now I've typed about apt.living,and what was happening around my apt.but we don't live there anymore!...We got a nice house on the opp.side of town,it's a little quieter!!...(but then again this is Fl.so it don't stay to quiet very long)...I will try to continue doing my blog about the stuff I make and the walks I take,just everyday living down here from my perspective...
