Plant life and other things...

This is my Christmas poinsettia which I tenderly transported all the way down here from Rhode Island. So it wouldn't die a lonely death up there. Aside from being stepped on, it seems pretty happy where it is, and it provides a cheerful element to our cluttered patio. Also providing cheer and decor are Scooter and the Keurig coffee maker. Once it warms up we will be able to drink coffee in our screened patio in the morning.
On the subject of boats, the riggers are coming today to re-install the masts, new rigging  and sails. For that they bring in a large crane and a crew who are so limber they could probably perform with cirque de soleil. Hopefully it will all go smoothly, and the boat will be ready to go into the water tomorrow. I will keep you posted.
