3rd coat of poly on the floor and it's GORGEOUS! You can see your reflection in it!
Lettuce is planted! Hopefully there will be enough sunshine to keep it from drowning!
Paul and his treasure ... a big fat earth worm! YICK! But I know they make the earth rich for planting the food ... so I'll tolerate them.
Working the soil for the 'tater patch' ... last Sunday was a GLORIOUS day ... we had a wonderful time outside playing in the dirt ... as you can see!
We all take a nap during the golf ...
There is FINALLY decent fresh fruit in the stores! YUM!
Blueberries and strawberries. Can't set them in the ground quite yet, but they're ready when Mother Nature is!
This MAY DAY basket was left at our front door step by a little wood FAIRY we know. Her name is Beth ... and she is currently on holiday in England! Then she goes to visit her brother in Italy and hang out on the coast for a few weeks. MUST be nice!!!! We're back to Bungalow sitting. The basket has wild mint it in! Can't wait to get it in the ground and watch it take over the universe!
This is Spartacus keeping guard over our May Day deliveries we found. Not only was there a basket from Beth, but there was a box of blueberry vines from Kim (! - I LOVE blueberries) who works at the County Extension office. She is Mike's wife ... Mike who Paul is working on the 18 wheelers with, who also works at the hardware store.
Ceiling prep for the anaglypta. We've been in "prep" mode for about a week now. Along with the pollen came some wicked sinus stuff for both of us. Paul is REALLY suffering with it right now though, so we've kind of taken a break until he can actually breathe again! Maybe we'll start hanging the paper tonight ... we'll see!
The BEAUTIFUL bearded IRIS have come out in full force. Aren't they lovely? They sure do make me smile when I walk by them on my way in and out of the front door!! BEAUTY!
The hostas have popped up and the world is once again turning green. Thank GOODNESS. Our mostly right weather man is predicting lows of 30 next week. EEEEEKKKKK. Hopefully we won't lose too much to the frost. 6 FULL months of winter here folks!
Day lilies are coming up too! WE love this time of year ... can you tell?Some updates:
Caroline is having a double mastectomy on Monday, May 18th. Please keep good thoughts for her complete and speedy recovery. It appears at this point that chemo or radiation will not be necessary. Fingers are crossed. Blessings to you, Caroline.
My niece, Hollie (sister Cyndie's daughter) is graduating from high school tomorrow! Hollie is a fashion model, and you can view her blog for more info. http://holliedokersblog.blogspot.com/Hollie plans to attend fashion school in NYC. Good luck in your future Hollie and gobs of success to your career!!
My BFF Sabrina is coming up next week sometime and staying through Memorial Day ... the High Country will probably never be the same. I can't wait to see her and introduce her to Mayberry!
Jenn (my daughter) is going to Japan on the 26th. Safe travels to you, Jenn. Don't worry, we'll take GREAT care of Christian while you're gone. :-) SPOILING GRANDSON ALERT!!!!
Our adopt-a-hikers made it to Damascus, VA in time for Trail Days. Apparently there was a 33 mile day involved in that! As one of their family members commented, "so much for pacing yourselves"! I'm so glad to know they made it to the festival.
That's all for today's update ... need to get back to work!
Happy Trails to all,
Paul & Cheri
