It has been a gorgeous morning in Delray Beach. Cooler temperatures in the a.m. with rising ones in the p.m. I think it is perfect. Well, wait a minute, I think some of the local residents are cold. I have seen my share of UGG boots these past few days. What? Really, it is true.
The sun rises around 7:02 or so in the morning so I took of for the beach. It was so quiet. Just a few others taking pictures.
I think the beach was ready; chairs out, volleyball nets were up, the beach sports rental opens early.
The sea gull going on a scavenger’s hunt, just like in Rehoboth Beach. Delray Beach reminds me so much of the coastal towns at the Delaware Beaches. I think that’s why I fell in love with it. But I do have to thank Marilyn, my friend’s mother, for pointing it out to me about 10 years ago.
On A1A there was no traffic. Plenty of sidewalk lining the beach for jogging and power walking.
The smell of garlic will be permeating throughout Atlantic Avenue this coming week-end. Get ready because it is the 14th Annual Delray Beach Garlic Festival. The event is dedicated to exploring the many health and culinary possibilities of garlic, which there are many.
Garlic Ice Cream? Or, Garlic Fest Crab Cakes….those will some of the appearances at the festival.
This is also a fundraising event for the non-profit organization, Delray Beach Arts, Inc. It is for the local non-profit organizations serving education and arts for youth. More info? Please visit http://www.dbgarlic.com. Or, you can also call 561-279-0907.
The Garlic Fest will take place on the grounds of the Old School Square, located at 51 N. Swinton Avenue, right at Atlantic Ave.
This is also called the Delray Beach Center for The Arts at Old School Square. The historic preservation of this “campus” is something the Delray residents are proud of.
The Cornell Museum dates to 1913. There are exhibits, concerts, and theater. While you are in Delray, check out the schedule of events by visiting http://www.delraybeachcenterforthearts.org.

Bar None, the Bru’s Room in Delray Beach has award winning wings. They are grilled, not greasy and taste delicious. And, this is the week-end!! As I was checking Atlantic Avenue I noticed that Bru’s Room was packing them in. They have over 40 tvs.
With so many Ravens’ fans in Delray Beach…it will be very crowded.
Locations? Besides the Delray Beach location at 35 NE 2nd Ave., there are plenty more throughout South Florida. Please visit http://www.brusroom.com.
The Delray Beach location is comfortable and you can have the choice to have a seat outdoors (my favorite), or inside. Their telephone number in case you want to order wings is 561-276-3663.
Please order the wings grilled. My absolute favorites are the Sweet ‘N’ Tangy.
When with my family, we always order the Triple Threat…BBQ, Sweet ‘N’ Tangy, Hot, grilled with minced garlic.
Note: Their wings are gluten free. Make sure you mention it to your server.
Go Ravens!!

Once again, we come back from a “heat” wave in February to a beautiful snowy day. It is quiet and the snow is a bit wet. It is about 34 degrees and it is so pretty.
I remember how much I carried on about my fig tree this past summer. Some are waiting for the 2013 crop!! Look at it then.
Look at it now….cold and bare.
Against the snow the green looks fantastic and someone told me that the “in” or “it” color for the season is green. Blair, owner of Tada, located at 18 North Main Street in Downtown Berlin, Maryland has a shop where you can find gifts for all occasions. Tel. 410-641-4430. Website? http://www.berlintada.com.
In a corner of the shop you will see Blair’s artistic talent come to life. She makes one of a kind necklaces…her imagination taker her to mix and match beautiful stones. Thought I let you know in case you are looking for something for Valentine’s.
