It's Official

We have survived the winter!
Thank goodness.

These gorgeous bearded iris are proof!

They came out in great numbers this spring.

There is grass and spring thunderstorms.
Lots of green every where!

Strawberries on the vines ... lots of them!

Some, almost ready to pluck ... yum!

Beans showing up too!

And the porch swing became the tree swing this year.
I had my morning coffee in the swing this morning --- Splendid!

The garden is thriving, even though it has just woken up

Baskets of grass show the abundance of GREEN and LIFE!

Rhododendron are blooming all over the mountains --- Luscious!

They are even showing up in Fairy Ball center pieces! Thanks Beth!

So, we decided to have a "Thank God We Survived the Winter Craw fish Boil and Beer Bash"! Of course, wouldn't you? So Mark & Janine and Paul and I got together and threw a big bash ... AWESOME!

Here is brother Mark, the Chef
Great job, Mark! The food was amazing!
Sister Janine, Mark's bride and our dear friend (with her posse tee hee)

Get your name tag here ... a clever tag, of course!

Some of our favorite partiers, Chad & Jennie

Crista and Sam

a kitchen full of great survivor folks ...

a porch filled with very wonderful people who survived the winter! It was so nice to see people again ... finally!!!

And Beth, the florist and happiest woman around these here parts.
More pictures to follow of all the activities * Beth took a bunch so when we get them uploaded, we shall share!
Hope all of you survived the winter too!
Happy, happy, happy SPRING!
Whoo hoo!
Paul & Cheri
