It’s that time of year again friends. Time to break out the potting soil and gardening gloves and get to weeding those flower beds. Maybe I will take up composting this year. My plants and shrubs could certainly use the additional nutrition that composting provides. I just have to remember to keep those coffee groundsRead More

So, do you say “Daylight Savings Time” or “Daylight Saving Time”? I would be willing to bet that most of us say “Savings”. Am I right? Well, the correct term is actually “Daylight Saving Time” so we should probably work on that (among all of the other things we need to work on!). The historyRead More

It’s the month of love, February. We all have things in our lives that we love – our families, our pets, our friends, and even our favorite foods. But, how often do we say we love where we live? How many of us think that much about the place we call home and what makesRead More

We are heading into that season when prescribed burns are common and the smell of smoke is in the air. Hey, it’s Florida’s version of the smell of burning leaves in autumn up north!! In all seriousness, prescribed burns are a necessary activity in our area to ensure that out-of-control forest fires (think California) doRead More

Yes, the dreaded Viera Roundabout – let’s talk about it. Although, I don’t know why it has become so reviled. Roundabouts make so much sense and are so safe, the local resistance to roundabouts just astounds me. I recently returned from a vacation in Arizona and they were everywhere!

Yet, we pay so little attention to it, like it’s an afterthought. Brevard County is truly a multi-modal community with our trails, waterways, roads, railroadRead More

Everyone who lives in Viera knows that we have HOA’s – lots of HOA’s. If you live in Viera, you are in at least two HOA’s (some neighborhoods have more). However, we also have special districts here in Viera that don’t get talked about nearly as much yet they encompass the majority of the acreageRead More

If there is one ordinance/law that has always had the most flagrant and pervasive violations throughout my career in public service, it would have to be the illegal display of fireworks. And, I really do get it. They are fun, fascinating and awe-inspiring. They are also dangerous, illegal without the proper permits and a nuisanceRead More

  I can’t believe I am actually going to do this, but, here goes. Let’s talk about poop. Specifically, dog poop. As many years as I have been working with HOA’s, I am still amazed that this topic is probably the #1 complaint at HOA meetings and to our management companies – dog owners notRead More
