So how is your day going? I was planning to begin my drive from Fort Lauderdale to Tucson today. I’m beginning to think my leaving this house is the makings of a Stephen King thriller.

talk this morning I could see hundreds of leaves from the Kigelia africana (African Sausage Tree) began dumping all of its leaves and carpeting the pool. Usually this is a two -three day shedding event. So I realized I have to delay until tomorrow to deal with all these leaves.
I did not want to unpack more clothes. My pool is secluded and private. I just stripped off all my clothes and started diving for those giant leaves. I filled a huge bag in less than 10 minutes. It wasn’t that big of a deal, then the sound of a hammer alerted me that I had been
giving the roofers on the house behind me a show. Well too bad. Actually there is enough of a tree canopy and they are so busy I’m sure they didn’t even notice. I got out of the pool grabbed a towel and began to dry off. I heard the distinct sound of my garden gate clicking.
There were two people walking up my garden pathway. I was standing there with nothing on but my towel in my hand. As they walked from around the foliage in the path and I came into their view they just stopped. I looked at them and said, Can I help you?”
They replied, “oh gosh we knocked”.
I replied, “Who are you?”
Them: We are here to see the house. We were in Heron Bay to see another house and we saw your listing on Zillow.
Me: Doesn’t it clearly say by appointment only?
Them: But we were already here.

Me: the open house is tomorrow from 1-4. Do I look like I am ready to receive guests in my home? You are welcome to return tomorrow between 1–4 when the realtors are here and I am not.
Them: could we just take a quick look to see if we are interested.
I simply stared at them.

They were slow learners but realized they had just had all the show they were getting for one day.
The potential for an interesting afternoon here just ratcheted up considerably 
and the rate the leaves are falling again I may be giving a late afternoon show.
SMH.
