Warm Rays of the Sun

We finally got a break from the rain and I am venturing out in the yard more often.  The wife has so many projects and I will be busy for quite sometime.  It was  pretty nice to cut the grass for the second time this year.  I took stock of all the flowers and trees.  Regretfully I mowed down. OT OH !  I do hope they will spring back up.

I love to just sit and soak up the sun and enjoy being outside.  I know my dawgs like it too and they gracefully keep me company.  They make sure I acknowledge their presence with nudges and licks.  I really love them and they do me.  I don't know why but I really need them around.  I don't think I could stand to be without them.

Picked up a couple of Dogwood trees to plant, a white one and a pink one.  I aerated the yard and put out some lime for the grass.  I have a few bare spots that just do not want to grow grass.  I look back to when we moved here in 2006 and we have come a long ways.

where am I?

All my life I have been many places.  Some have been ok.....others not. Some have been so good I could have stayed forever.  I am in WV today.  It's nice here.  We have been having quite a spot of rain.  I was able to go walking yesterday and that was very enjoyable to me.

The problem with having two houses is you have twice the work and expenses.  We need some repair work to be done and someone is coming to give us an estimate this weekend. I need to get some yard work done for sure.  The winter leaves her calling card every year.

The lakes and ponds are looking great and calling me to come and fish. That is both fun and relaxing.  I have never been very good using artificial bait.  I stick to worms, crickets and minnows.  Liver for Catfish.

Next month I am going to visit Mom's for Mother's Day.  I always enjoy going to SC for a visit.  It's great to see my sisters and kin.  June is Uncle Gene's birthday so we will be traveling to Fayetteville where I spent my early years before moving to Tennessee.

I joined the Army at 17 and that's a story of my travels for another time.
