Spring...

I think Spring is FINALLY here! Of course it is still rather nippy in the AM, which means I have to change from jeans to shorts around lunchtime... Oh well, I still love it, but I am looking forward to 90 degree weather! :)

We decided to modify the little patio area out in front of the house, looks great I think. Yes, Carolyn did the vast majority of the work, including transplanting those leylands from back by the pool where they were getting smothered by the other plants back there...

This corner as you pull in the driveway was a constant nightmare, we never have been able to get grass to grow there, so decided to just make the entire corner a bed... Also turned out great, and yes, Carolyn did all the planting there too... :)

It is too bad that the dogwoods and azaleas only bloom for a few weeks, but they are pretty when they are in bloom... What is the wheelbarrow doing there? Next pic... :)

Some jackass ran over the drain I had installed there years ago, of course it very likely could have been me... :) Anyway, I finally dug it up and put in a new one. Without it, that area becomes a muddy mess when it rains... So back in business there...

Yes, we also have more puppies, sigh. Of course last night someone came and bought them all but one and that one we are giving away to one of our friends, so thankfully getting rid of them this time was super easy... :)

Stone Mountain...

So today Taylor and I went for our "outing", Taylor decided she wanted to bring her friend Victoria with her, so off we all went to Stone Mountain... Walking up the mountain first thing in the morning is not really what I like to do, although I'm pretty sure I was the only one going up that had a coffee in one hand and a cig in the other...

Taylor by the Grist Mill...

Ditto...

Taylor and Victoria by the covered bridge...

Us in front of the mountain. Taylor spotted a pretty good sized snake in that bush on the right.

So we had a great time, climbing the mountain, riding the train and just walking around...
