Cherry Snow and Leo



Don't you think it's about time for me to add a picture of Leo to this blog? Here is my handsome boy! He's almost two years old, is a Golden Lab and weighs in at 100 lbs.

A Long Six Months

It seems that the past six months, since my father died, have flown by. After his death it was Thanksgiving, then Christmas with one of our daughters and her two children, then New Years with my cousin and her husband. My birthday, Valentines Day, St. Patricks Day, Easter and finally ... Spring.


I'm looking forward to Summer. I have seeds to plant and hummingbird feeders to fill.


I'm going to use my IRS rebate check (what a joke) to have the house pressure washed and the carpets cleaned. I feel that I will actually be using it for the purpose it's intended ... putting it back into the economy.


And I can't wait to be able to spend Sundays on our verandah playing dominoes or acey-deucey while surrounded by my wildflowers, my hummingbirds and the fabulous mountains of Western North Carolina.
