I took this picture of a Ruby-throated Hummingbird outside my back door. I had to take the picture through the glass so it's not as clear as I would like.

Spriggs-McNeill House

 
Posted by Picasa


Jerome McNeill, a professor of science at Florida State College for Women (now Florida State University) had this home built for his family in 1903. It was later remodeled by Kent Spriggs, former mayor of Tallahassee, to use for his office. During last year's election, the house was used as the Obama Student Headquarters. This old house is located on College Avenue between the main gate of FSU and downtown and is currently for sale.

Life is Grand Award



My sweet kitty Gracie and I received this award from our dear friend Luna and her mommy Léia over at We love Luna. We are so happy and honored! The five reasons Gracie thinks that life is grand:

1. She is the queen of the house.
2. She has her very own daybed (even though she would rather sleep with me).
3. She has the most beautiful green eyes.
4. She thinks she is a person.
5. She is spoiled.

Gracie would like to share this award with all of her friends! Enjoy!
