The sand blows over the mountain range and deposits there, almost like a snowdrift.

At one point, we thought we'd build there, but I do not think that's going to happen...so we're hoping to find someone who can utilize it better than we are. :)Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00870276361208084297noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1878595608175018022.post-84712258161319585172017-03-26T13:27:18.939-07:002017-03-26T13:27:18.939-07:00Beautiful pictures!

I have not played with Hoopla yet, but our library does offer it too. We have a TV antenna and Netflix - between those two and library offerings, Youtube, etc., we are satisfied as well. Have a great week!Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00870276361208084297noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1878595608175018022.post-8037260331570887512017-03-26T10:09:58.706-07:002017-03-26T10:09:58.706-07:00Thanks!

Our county has an abundance of parks and in the 13 years we've lived here we've previously only visited a couple. This month we've been trying for 2 a week. They are free and most are really nice.<br /><br />Because I've had no luck with growing veggies this season (we're in SW FL and we are in drought conditions and much warmer than usual) I used my radish seeds for sprouts using a jar covering the top with cheesecloth - almost every one sprouted! I use them on sandwiches.<br /><br />Like you, altho I'm retired, I plan my week's wardrobe on Sunday. I keep my pants in black, navy and 2 pair beige, then alternate plain colored or patterned t-shirt tops. I add a long sleeved overshirt, I need sun protection as I've had too many skin cancer spots, that is plain or patterned. Found a nice black overshirt for $1 at the local thrift store. Also found 2 pair of expensive name brand strappy sandals for $4 each - in my size 5 they are very hard to find.<br /><br />I read a lot and only use the library or services they offer like Hoopla. I've found so many on Hoopla that I want to read I've complied a list so I won't forget.<br /><br />For TV we have an antenna, Roku and subscribe to Hulu and Acorn. This costs us less than $20 per month, much much lower than cable. Acorn will be dropped in 2 months - we had subscribed for a year to save money. We find many shows on the internet sites of the networks and on Youtube. We also find some of the Youtube offerings on gardening, DIY and health to be more informative than regular programs.<br /><br /> Bellenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17249001827113998376noreply@blogger.com
