in my garden

went to the shop again today

the carnival ship came over to the coxen hole port

due to high winds are mahogany bay

we had a great day there

people on the carnival are fun loving and generous by nature

we sold alot of things for our friends

and had alot of fun conversations

i met a guy who was wandering the street with a tripod,

several camera bags and a nice nikon (did i actually say that?!)

he came in and looked at my photos and we talked photos

he just got his camera and is still shooting in automatic

i have a strong aversion to automatic

i will use it if we are travelling and i just want to 'get the shot'

but i prefer to shoot manual.

he didn't even know how 

so i had a fun time teaching him

it was a great visit

the fruit guy

came by on his bike this morning

and i bought a cantalope and a pineapple

the sweet smell of pineapple wafted through the shop all day

yum~

at one point a couple walked in and asked if we had magnets

(we don't)

and after they left bob said

i am a chick magnet

and stuck out his stomach like half of the island men here

i literally cracked up laughing

he is so funny

i am glad that after 28 years together

we still laugh together

it is a gift

when we got home we were both tired 

but it had been a long time since i meandered through the yard

so i went out looking at flowers

this one begged to be photographed

so pretty

i am sitting out on the side deck hoping to catch a breeze

it is starting to get sooo hot here

september is our hottest month by far.

tonight we are going to meet up with the people

we met in church on sunday for dinner

we are going to the island rotisserie chicken

it will be delicious!

i can't wait.
