Brush fire. Spreading quickly due to the wind. A little scary since the worst of it is right behind the neighbor with the big survival capsule - ocean freight container full of weapons.

Here ya go Beauty Hunter, this was taken in my backyard ...

Well this peacock now has a new home in our neighbors screened pool enclosure. Not sure why he'd want to keep a big bird in such a small area, but then I'm also not sure why this neighbor has a "survival capsule," made from a big shipping container, in his backyard.

I heard that one of my neighbors caught it and is keeping it in their screened lanai.

If you lost your peacock, he's wandering around Driftwood Estates peeking in doors and windows looking for food.

We loved it!

Thanks MiMi!

Could anyone recommend an eye doctor, and a dentist that excepts Medicaid?

Great place. I especially enjoyed our howling session with them!

We provide a gas grill. Had renters bring a charcoal grill once. Our pool deck and carpeting were covered with black footprints when they left.

I was sure hoping the county park they built in Driftwood would be similar, but it didn't end up that way. The playground is big enough for about six 2-4 year olds, with 3 swings for bigger kids. There is a basketball court and lots of grassy space for running around in, but I was sure hoping...

They hang around oleaners since the caterpillars feed on the oleander. My neighbor planted oleanders and now our house gets covered with the caterpillars and their brown hairy-looking cocoons.

When I posted this earlier it was just to put faces to the "evil creatures" that were being discussed in that post. Hoping that it would soften their hearts a bit. I do believe they are Red Wolves, although I was told by some US Fish & Wildlife biologists that they could only be a mix of Red...

Twice now renters have left their gun behind for the next family's kid to discover. Luckily it hasn't come to that yet. The first was a BB gun pistol stashed under the matress, which we discovered while cleaning, and I quickly unloaded throughout the neighborhood :blush: The second gun was real...

We picked quite a few blueberries today. Felt bad leaving so many still on the bushes, but we needed to go clean the rental. We'll have to take our buckets back out tomorrow.

They came today, a day late. Last week they either came late or missed one of the days, but I can't remember. I was wondering if they changed the schedule. I'm in Driftwood Estates.

When I drove by the little white pickup was hanging upside down. Not sure how they could get airborne driving down a straight road. While repairing the power line, power was out for several hours all up Mack Bayou including Driftwood Estates. There was another nasty accident right after that one...

Humans don't seem to coexist well with any animals. If that bear decides to hang around someone will get him. We had a beaver move into Driftwood Estates last year. I thought that was odd, but was excited about it. It took down a few trees, built nice home, and did it's best to remain...

That wouldn't be near Butler, but near Bay Elementary.

We like The Track in Destin, but it seems that whenever we decide to go they're not open. We don't like to go when it's busy, and I guess they don't like to be open when it's not.

There is a drummer working at Golds Gym who would love to get out playing. If you'd like to PM me your number or email, I'll pass it along to him.

I'd like to see these empty lots that are found in so many of the new communities turned into neighborhood gardens. When I was a kid in the Chicago suburbs we did this. Take a chunk of land, divide it up, run some irrigation and let people have a garden to grow their own veggies. One thing we'd...

How about if everyone quits talking about it and ask God that if he does exist, could he please show up in school and make it a better place. That way no body's pushing anything on anyone. No use sitting around praying for things to get better, ask God to do it and then go ahead and start doing...

I'm just hoping they open the other access so our family can ride our bikes over to Baytowne without having to throw the bikes over the fence. We've added a child and throwing the bike trailer over is a little more awkward.

I think you all probably have better things to do with your time and intellect.

I keep seeing postings about wandering dogs. Don't forget that we're in the midst of the coyote breeding season. Coyotes mate for life, but dogs will go after anything in heat. Small dogs look like foxes -- coyotes kill or chase off foxes since they compete for the same rodents. Big dogs may or...

I think we humans do the same thing. We built 500 homes around one little 36 acre piece of woods and called it a natural area.

That video footage was all shot from an upstairs window, so they had no clue they were being watched. Plus, I could keep the camera steadier. Any time someone would come by on foot, bike or car, they'd dash into the woods. With my binoculars I could spot their noses peeking through the bushes...

With 9 mouths to feed, I'm guessing they did whatever they could. I know they hunted as a pack, and we knew when they were successful. The woods would be full of the sound of celebration -- howling, barking, whining, all kinds of eerie sounds. I saw a couple of them go after a deer. It was...

I thought I'd share some video to put faces to the names. This is part of the gang that's been eliminated from Sandestin. I had the pleasure of enjoying this beautiful family of nine for 6 months before they moved on to Sandestin. They were loved and protected here...

Last year I swam in the gulf several times over the winter. It was cold but refreshing. My crazy daughter went skinny dipping in the pool tonight, and the pool is colder than the gulf.

Well ... who looks at dates.

Your message box is full, so I guess I missed out.

I saw a guy on friday afternoon whip out of the Topsail hwy 98 entrance with a fresh cut christmas tree in the back of his pickup. Didn't think that was legal, but decided against running him off the road.

I've seen more people interested in booking earlier than usual. I usually don't see inquiries til Jan. or Feb. but then book up real fast. One thing I've noticed is that folks are nervous about booking a place that may go into foreclosure or short sale. They are watching the mls and backing out...

I say get rid of marriage altogether. It only seems to screw up most people's lives. People have gotten pretty lousy at making/keeping commitments.

I'd recommend Brian -- http://www.bboyproductions.com

I had posted the link to Seacrest Wolf Preserve yesterday, but it's not here now. Hmm?

Fowler had still been talking about plans on his own. Blue Dolphin II has moved on without him on a similar park, but not sharing its location. There had been talk of folks taking each other to court. That's the news I've read over the last year. The Blue Dolphin folks recently updated their...

Rocky Bayou Stables in Niceville. Cindy is a great Instructor. You can PM me if you'd be interested in calling her. I'll give you her number.

This must be the time of year for wolf spiders. They've been hanging out right outside our doors after dark, and I've been finding at least two a day inside. They're all about the size of a quarter. I've noticed that black widows like to hang out on either side of the garage door (in the...

Gold's Gym :idontno: Who needs a beach when ya got Gold's Gym!

I've noticed that it's bikini season! Almost hit a couple of them today as they dashed out in front of my car.

:welcome:

Here are some pictures from the mls. And here's a virtual tour.

We homeschool, home birth, work at home, occasionally home cook, and back in the 80's I'm sure I had been called a homeboy, homegrown or a homie (but never a homemoe).

Not sure what a secular homeschooler is, but my wife and I are homeschooling our daughter. We don't wear denim dresses.

I just saw the thread about the missing elderly man ... that's probably my answer.

I think it was yesterday ... saw a guy in camouflage, wearing gloves, walking a bloodhound along Mack Bayou. Anyone know what or who he was looking for?

We need to find a florida certified teacher for our daughter's homeschool evaluation. The state requires it yearly. Any recommendations?
