This is my long-range view.....almost heaven......'nuf said...........................

Have a great day!!!

View from the Rear......

It was brought to my attention that i have posted many...many pictures of our front porch view.....the beautiful valley and section of the Blue Ridge Mountain range.......here's what we see in the back of the house.......
Out the back door and look to the right......more valley farm land and mountains....

Straight a-head....very large Christmas trees and tall timber.........

Behind the trees........the parental units...."lodge".......got the CO and moving in next week!!!

To the left more tall timber and mountains..............

I'm sure that a Higher Power had the steering wheel of the car, the day Mom and i found this 12 acres.......there was a 3x5 index card, in a plastic bag, nailed to a stick at the bottom of the drive, on it was printed....FOR SALE......SEE OWNER ACROSS THE STREET........we looked at many properties ........but, kept coming back here.......

It was meant to be...................................

I'm Ready........

I'm ready to sit on the front porch and enjoy the gentle mountain breezes, mother nature, sun shine and a cool drink...............

Tryed it yesterday ....since the temp got allll the way to 63*........but, it's just not the same.....wearing jeans, flannel shirt, socks, clogs, wind gusts in the 40mph range and drinking coffee..............nawwwwww!!!!

It's not the same as .......shorts, t-shirt, barefoot and sweet tea ...............

Maybe...June?........July?.......August!!!

Big Boys Playground!

Trucks at the bottom of the mountain..........

Trucks at the top of the mountain.....................................

My guess is................this is what little boys dream about as they're playing with those Tonka and Hasbro trucks in the backyard......

Yesterday my road looked like a "Big Boy Playground"....and the best......City Boy is off today and the guys, with their trucks are coming back to finish..............excitement abounds!!!!!

Correction and Addition

I meant to say mythical village....not methodical village.........

Also in my methodical haste to post my blog.... i forgot to Thank... Cindi..... over at

http://wishingformyturn.blogspot.com for my lemonade stand award........stop by sometime...her blogs a hoot!

Thanks Cindi!!!

Where Am I??!!

Woke up this morning to what looks like a scene from the movie "Brigadoon".......mist and/or fog everywhere.......what would it be like to live in a methodical village that only appears every hundred years in a fog......??? Would i be forever......21?....Would i fall in love with a handsome leading man.....only to give him up?!....Hummmmmmm...the questions?

Outside my door today ..... i see the sun shinning behind the fog......i see blue skys......i can hear birds.....i can hear beagles.......i hear BIG TRUCKS!!!

REALLY BIG TRUCKS!!!!! THEY'RE LINED UP AT THE BOTTOM OF THE MOUNTAIN......I can see'm!!!!

Yes.....they are re-graveling our road today.......should give the dogs lots to bark at.......good thing i don't need anything from the grocery store.......i think i'm stuck for the day....sooooo .... maybe i'll take a chance and open the windows!!!

Look What I Found!!

Found this stashed in my stash.......has all kinds of sporting equipment, tools and stop watches in the print....plus great colors.......don't know when, where or why i bought it....but, i must have been planning something big....i had 6 yards of the stuff!!

Got red w/multi-color stars...tiny little blue and white print...solid dusty green and a yellow gold and brown blotches print ..... to create my next project.......Miss Kitty on towel to the right....naptime........ could not get her to move!!!!

Since i had City Boy with me yesterday.....only managed to get the blocks cut out!!!

When City Boy is off work "errands" must be done!!!

Went to the local Farmers Market ....then had our taxes done.....did you know there are places where volunteers do them for free!!!!! FREE....my favorite word!!! And the state and federal government now owes us a small amount of money back.......I WANT MY CHECK!!!

Then after a short time at home.....when i cleaned the kitchen, changed the sheets on the bed, cut out my block and watched City Boy nap on the couch........we met my Mom and Dad for pizza and breadstix...............

Not a bad day ....... but,......not much quilting was done
