I can't imagine looking after a building as complex and vast as this but the view of wooden and vine and leafy green is just superb. You can imagine it as the setting for some exotic Somerset Maugham short story.
The cheerful whore in Rain, perhaps. Or like Cheyenne you can see a lovely fountain as a mere watering hole, well placed.
I am absurdly fond of my dog, and grateful to the fools who gave her to the pound for being "too old.". 
More decks and balconies and cheerful plantings.
This stately home was suffering from an unfortunate hole in the roof.
Part of Key West's charm is the dilapidation of some of the house, the determined and tasteful restoration of some more and the balance between the two. Walking these historic streets is endlessly fascinating.

I am sure it's all Cheyenne's fault but I am astonished to see 168 followers on my page. Thank you all for trying to keep up with this mad experiment. Orin of
http://scootinoldskool.wordpress.com/ is helping me to do this and we plan to switch to Wordpress at some time in the not too distant future, probably later this summer. http://keywestdiary.us is the new address for my blog so those of you with more computer savvy than me will know how to change the URL and keep up. I will keep this blog alive and well for as long as Blogger makes it so inexpensive and easy to keep the pictures on this site and anyone typing the old address will eventually be redirected (I think!) just as the .us address is currently being redirected automatically here. As far as content goes it will be the same, better I hope as I get used to the format of five a day myself and I will add more Florida and Keys web links. At the moment taking pictures and writing (and doing the laundry, exercising and bathing/walking/feeding the dog) is taking up most of my copious spare time. I am glad you are along for the ride, as I felt the need to be challenged by this blog and I have been. Without Orin none of this would be possible, and that's not hyperbole.

Dear Conchscooter:
There is no such thing as being overly fond of a dog.

Dear Conch (silent h :),
Why the change to wordpress from blogger, I'm interested.
cheers
Dear Jack, she deserves more love than you do. or my wife. wel...
dear jeff, my wedmaster guru says wordpress is more flexible because it connects directly to twitter and facebook (don't ask, I have no clue)and it is more flexible for ads. Or soemthing. Blogger competes with the other stuff and that makes them inflexible.
Blogger make sit easy for me.
Paradoxically most bloggers it seems like to fiddle with the method of posting and neglect the content. I am only interested in the content. How the rocket works doesn't interest me in the least as long as i can get to ride it.As usual I live my life backwards.
If I can get the other lurkers I know in Key West to register, you'll soon have many more followers. A lot of them read daily, but don't register.
I told them Cheyenne said it was important.
I'm not a big proponent of reading into animal faces - but, that dog does look damned happy. Glad you're taking care of the old pup.
