TGIF - Redbones in Fort Myers was always a favorite place to kick back after a long week. Do you have a favorite Friday spot?

It’s always a good day when your muse drops in.

One of my favorite things about living in Maine is how the landscape changes color with the seasons. This is the view from the hill in my backyard, looking east.

Some days it pays to get up with the birds. The dawn of a new week in Maine, where everyone knows the first sunrise in the U.S. occurs.

Chippie is stocking up for the week ahead. Looks like he bit off more than he can chew.

I never should have let her take that hypnosis class!

TGIF and National Pina Colada Day. My favorite bartender makes the best. Have you tried one? I had my first at the Sheraton Yacht Haven pool bar in St. Thomas. The old hotel and bar are long gone, but the memory remains.

Move to the Keys, they said. You’ll love it, they said. On our second day…. No one was hurt, and we were never in danger, but you can be sure this scene, highly fictionalized, will show up in a Hayden Kent or Southernmost Secrets mystery. Maybe both.

In Florida, the rules are different. 😹

Today is World Chocolate Day. There’s no better way to celebrate than with a box of Godiva truffles and a literary visit to the Florida Keys! https://t.co/ebPQJdm2hk

Beauregard’s dancing like no one’s watching in celebration of National Black Bear Day.

The perfect ending to a perfect week.

I drew the short straw, so I’m stuck working on Caturday AND the 4th of July. Wait till she sees the changes I’m making. Last time I’ll have to do this! 😈😹

This little lady lived on Redbones outdoor patio. She was a favorite of mine. Did you know that pink dolphins bite? This one never did, but then, she didn't get around much. Hope your weekend is filled with fun.

[Kait Carson @kaitcarson]

Some weeks are harder than others. How’s your week going?

[Kait Carson @kaitcarson]

Wishing you rainbows every July day! Happy New Month.
