Now That It's In The 70s The Fish Come Up For Food


Our Electric Yellow Cichlid (Labidochromis caeruleus) and Electric Blue Cichlid (Sciaenochromis fryeri) fish will die when the weather goes down to 40f. This happened 7 or 10 nights this last December and the neighbors lost all of their cichlids. We saved our cichlids by putting well water in the pool when it was below 50f.

More then 60% of this ficus tree is dead. If another bad winter kill the white flies the tree will linger one more year.

Getting Ready For Christmas

Yesterday we put the turkey in a brine and this morning we cooked this bird.

I cut the meat this after noon and it will be ready for the big day. The bones were used for making a great gravy.

Our Canals Go Out To The Ocean


In the 40s I fished with my dad in this canal. Then in the evening we ate the fish that we cough. I still prefer fish over red meat.
