My big secret is that I am not really a good plant owner. There, I said it. My spare time is spent disregarding horticulture. I don’t know why I don’t “get” plants but I don’t. I have made a concerted effort to revive a few of the victims around my house [...]

Bonita Springs Mailbox Series

Did you ever see such a patriotic Manatee mailbox? Me either. Bonita Springs has a ton of manatee mailboxes, by the way. They’re right up their with dolphin mailboxes. This is what a manatee is if you didn’t know: West Indian Manatee Facts.

Last week one of my readers, the mysterious [...]

Just a Couple of Bucks For The Humane Society?

This is a greyhound dog mobile. I was leaving the home I just helped a buyer in Hunter’s Ridge purchase when I saw this in traffic. I am not particularly fond of these trucks. You might see a few of them around Bonita Springs [...]

Bonitians Have Feelings, Too
Many of my dear friends live in my computer. I know a network of great people all over the US of A due to social networking and my affiliation with blogging platforms. One of my favorite cupcakes is Sarah Cooper from West by God Virginia. She’s on a blogging mission [...]

Sudbury and Windsor Estates of Bonita Springs, Florida
Since I had gotten my free wind mitigation survey I stopped into my insurance agency Jones & Jones to deliver the report and hopefully receive a discount.  I actually received a $120 discount on my insurance premiums, which I will get next year, too.  Skip Mulch, my inspector [...]

Are You Lost, Subscribed or Here On Purpose?
Enjoy a few of the searches that people have made on various search engines looking for information that may or may not be related to Bonita Springs real estate.  I occasionally get a pretty good chuckle out of the search query.  Who the heck looks for pitchers of [...]

Happy Father’s Day

This is Sonny.
His real name was Charles but people called him Sonny. Like Sonny Bono that guy that was married to Cher. I tried to find a picture of my father and me and this is all I came up with. He died fairly young and I don’t have a lot [...]


Wildlife Paparazzi

Barefoot Beach ducks are just a little antisocial at first. They were playing in standing water until the crazy urban bush woman of Bonita Springs started infringing upon their personal space. I slowly squatted down and waited. The mommy was giving me the stink eye but eventutally it dawned on her [...]

A Micro Rant About Cable TV & High Speed
Warning, this is not at all real estate related or even related to Bonita Springs, for that matter.

There is nothing more frustrating in life than being held at the mercy of big business, operated by computers, outsourced to Bangalore, press 2 for Spanish - hold the [...]

You Gotta Enter to Win
Would you believe that things are picking up? What would it take for you to believe things are picking up? Well, Bonita Springs real estate is picking up. Watching the agents working at my own office and even at other offices it is clearly evident that conditions are [...]

We Have Bugs in Bonita Springs
You may not appreciate this grasshopper because bugs are gross but I thought it was beautiful so I took a picture of it to share with you. This is the first official Bonita Springs Grasshopper. What you need to know is that it was on the windshield of [...]

You’re probably not thinking about Bonita Springs, Florida because you’ve thawed out and gotten your leafy trees back.  Michigan, Ohio, New York and Canada:  We’ll be waiting for you, you fair weather friends.   This November you’ll remember that we can have poolside parties in January.  We’ll forgive you for forgetting about us just like we [...]

I just thought these clouds were pretty enough to capture on film to share with you.  The sun was setting in Bonita Springs over my neighbor’s roof.   It probably looks like this every day but I forget to look up.  It’s hard to look up with a cell phone on your shoulder most of the [...]

Protect Your Real Estate Bonita Springs
Fridays are for mailboxes on this Bonita Springs real estate blog. When I saw this beauty I decided it would be perfect for a storm or building code post. Turns out we had a wind survey claims expert stop in the office this week which gave me an [...]

WWMPD? - What Would Marlin Perkins Do?
Grown men have been driven to madness by a one ounce bird. There is a street in a little community in Bonita Springs, Florida with twenty two homes. Some of the homes have Styrofoam faux flower boxes on the front of them. These cottages are just [...]

The Bonita Springs Mailbox of the Week
With any luck nobody held their breath for this. As expected another fish mailbox. Bonita Springs definitely has their share of mailboxes in the form of fishes, that’s for sure. I thought I’d get a golf theme mailbox in Bonita Golf & Country Club but [...]

No Fish Mailboxes to Fry in Spring Creek
A few days ago, after I checked on a listing I have in Eldorado Acres I cruised up Spring Creek to hunt for mail boxes on the Fish Streets. If you don’t know what the Fish Streets are: When you head up Coconut Road toward the [...]
