World Naked Gardening Day
Sunsport will celebrate the 16th annual World Naked Gardening Day on Saturday, May 7th. Sunsport's community garden is a beautiful place with many people actively working on the raised beds. It is now full of plants. A number of residents also have gardens on their lots. Naked gardening is enjoyed throughout Sunsport.

Alligators:

We still have alligators in the ponds. Please don't feed them (or the turtles). It will make the alligators easier to catch and relocate to the everglades.

The clusia bushes have been moved to the front property line making the entrance more attractive and providing a high natural screen. The water flow on Sunsport property should be greatly improved reducing the chance of flooding. Holding ponds have been dug and connecting canals improved to enhance water movement throughout the grounds.

IMPORTANT TRASH POLICY CHANGE
|
The trash area in the northeast corner of Sunsport has been eliminated. Large trash items may now be placed only in the maintenance yard with the supervision of Team Leader Roger Byrd, preferably Monday through Friday.
|
|
The trailer holding recyclable scrap metal will be moved to the maintenance area. Plastic bags full of waste should be deposited in the dumpster in the recycling area, not in the maintenance area.
|
|
|
|
|
Please help recycle. Place clean paper and cardboard in the yellow bins and cans, plastics (except bags, styrofoam, and utensils), and bottles in the blue bins. Place only bagged garbage in the dumpster.
|
To help Sunsport and the environment, *please deposit aluminum cans in a special bin with a round hole in the top in the main recycling area.
|
- The yellow containers are for paper and flattened cardboard
- The blue containers are for aluminum cans*, glass, juice boxes, and plastics except styrofoam, bags, and utensils.
- Deposit other trash in the large grey or black trash bins with tops.
|
Please secure all trash cans tightly since raccoons are skilled at opening containers and making large messes. Thanks.

Hey What is Permaculture?
|
|
|
|
Permaculture is a philosophy of design for creating a sustainable human culture. That is, it's a way of thinking about how we set up the support systems around us: shelter, food, water, energy, society and business. Well designed permaculture systems allow us to live as a beneficial part of the ecosystems around us.

Picasso’s Most Erotic Year
It is surprising that in the Harvey Weinstein #MeToo era, no one has attacked Picasso as a sexual predator.
|
|
|
|
Painter And His Model, Picasso
|
|
|
In a 1974 interview, one year after Picasso’s death and three years before she took her own life, Marie-Thérèse told France Culture radio that Picasso possessed her. “That’s the way it is with him. He violates the woman first, then afterwards we work.”

Nude Woman In A Red Armchair - Picasso
|
|
|
The year 1932 saw Picasso at the height of his fame and painting his most explicitly sexual work, fuelled by his torrid affair with his young model, Marie-Thérèse Walter
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
Yet anyone who observed Picasso’s painting that year, including Olga, must have known of his passionate and intensely erotic love affair with 22-year-old Marie-Thérèse Walter. Until 1932, Picasso had refrained from painting Marie-Thérèse in recognisable form. He betrayed their secret on January 2nd, in his first painting of the year, in what is doubtlessly the most beautiful homage to his young mistress, titled Woman Reading.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
Picasso’s liaison with Marie-Thérèse began soon after he stopped the then 17-year-old girl outside the Galeries Lafayette department store. “Mademoiselle, you have an interesting face. I would like to paint your portrait,” he told her. Legend has it he added, “I feel we will do great things together.”...................................
