Look What I Can Do!

I went out with one of my new friends, Tonya, the other day. We are so much alike it is almost scary! We walked into a Michaels and as she was saying Oh I need to make a fall wreath I was thinking it! We even choose many of the same flowers. Such as it is as I was getting my ER and Grey's Anatomy last night- I put the wreath together. I was going to hang it on the wall behind the entertainment center - but it does not fit there. For right now it will keep my Viking company by the fireplace.

We did get alot of rain last night but thankly after I transplanted 60 lirape (sp) along the front of the embankment on our front yard. I planted them in a line right where the yard goes down towards the ditch. It will look much nicer in the spring. I also plan to plant yellow bulbs to come up in the spring there too. I am toying with the idea of putting some day lillies around as well. I just dug them up from the house in Greensboro - hey they have to be split anyway right?

I am going to go back to dig up the Japanese Maple and transplant it into a big whiskey barrel- need to find one first.

Enjoys!

Day At The Beach?

We both had a day off and decided to go to the beach while the boy went to school. We arrived and it was a bit balmy. The waves were crashing right below the fence line in this picture. We had to set up our chairs on the dunes. We settled in and noticed that there were three folks standing on the end on the walkway to the beach. We were asked to be a witness for the couple getting married.

We stood in and as the Justice of the Peach read the ceremony, I was reminded of the promises and commitments I had made several years prior. It was a nice day. We decided to go back the next day and the waves were not as rough- still yet we did not go in past our knees. If you did you got swept up the beach. David found out first hand it is wise to listen to mom and dad!

The last pic is a strange one- Nasturtiums and catus - only at the beach!!!!

Go for A Ride???

While we were unpacking the boxes Lars was not sure he liked the new house. He jumped in the front seat of the Crown Vic and we could not help ourselves to not take this priceless picture.

Ok you know I am a sucker for Lowes clearance plants - I can save them!! I rescued these mums. I replanted in these two pots and pulled off all the dead flowers. A few weeks later they are ready to pop open with new blooms any day now!

Made the Move!

OK, I am finally posting pictures of the new house. The picture of the front is taken at the foot of our driveway. You can see why David wants a riding lawnmower!
The master bedroom is downstairs - I really do believe it is about all in all including the walk in closet and master bathroom- the size of our first apartment when we moved to Gboro!
Upstairs is David's room and two other rooms - one being the bonus room. David is excited to have a room for his games systems and not be crammed into a small room like in the house in Gboro.
Most of the acreage is either in the front yard or on the side in woodsy. Lars loves to go and explore on the side.
The picture of the street is looking up our street. Oh how peaceful!!!
I will attempt to get some pics from the inside soon!
