Rain, Rain, and More Rain!

Pictures of the rain and more rain. I am ready for some sunshine and some fall-like weather.

New Chair Cushions

On this Labor Day weekend, I guess I was feeling a bit creative. These are the cushions I made for the patio chairs. I wanted something new so here it is. They aren't perfect but they are washable and cheaper than the ones you buy premade.

Maine 2009

The trip so far has been great. I am just thankful that the sun is now shining. They have had so much rain that the rivers, streams, and lakes are overflowing. The sun is a nice sight. I did take a day trip with dad around the White Mountains on his new motorcycle. It is an "old fart" bike but it rides nice! I will post more picture soon.

Hot Summer...

It has been a hot summer but so far I have been able to keep stuff alive in the yard. :) Enjoy.

Summer...

I have been enjoying the summer. Only working 5 hours a day is great and I have been blessed to have a good group of kids this year. I have been working in the yard, watching tons of movies, and just hanging out with friends and my dog. :) I am awaiting my trip to see mom and dad. The first few photos are at Angela's house when I was working over there with her...it was a hot day but we went to the movies afterwards.

May Flowers...

Now that school is out for summer, I have time to update with a few new photos. I know mom is dying to see my flowers and if they have grown at all. The rain and sun have been a great mix this year and they are getting huge! Thanks for giving me part of your green thumb mom! I love ya!

Flowers again...

Once again Mom came in the spring to help me finish of my flowers. They are looking beautiful and I haven't had to water anything this year! It is raining here again today but what a nice bunch of flowers.

Spring has sprung!

The weather has been so funny lately. There are many flowers and plants sprouting and ready to bloom. The rain was so hard this weekend I had to cut all my daffodils and bring them inside. Check out the pictures to see if you can see the daylillies coming up and the beautiful but smelly pear tree next door.

My Time...

I have been busy lately. I have a cute little puppy and a close friend had a baby. I am enjoying my puppy, Angel and she is doing great! She is housetrained and chewing the bones. Oh and sleeping in the bed next to me. :-)

Check out the photos...

She is too sweet!

Angel

My New Dog

This has to be the calmest dog that I have ever run into. She is so loving and won't leave the room without us. Let's pray that she stays that way!

Cruise Vacation

Krissi and I had an awesome 5 day cruise out of Mobile, Alabama! We were on a Carnival Cruise ship the MS Holiday. It was a small boat but we still had fun. We started with a day at sea, a day in Progresso, Mexico, and then onto Cozumel and another day back at sea. We had beautiful weather and enjoyed just sitting on the deck of the ship. I think any waking moment that the sun was out...we were there. I was surprised that I was not seasick...yahoo! We went on double decker bus tour in Progresso and clear kayaking with some snorkeling in Cozumel. Check out the pictures below to see more!

Maine

So, here are a few pictures to show why people live in Maine in September and October!

Busy Fall

Krissi and I have been busy this fall doing fun things! Check out the pictures...

Braves Game


Darius Rucker Concert at Wild Bill's
He sang most of the songs off his new CD "Learn to Live" and some old Hootie songs too!


We went to the Fox Theater to see the musical Wicked. It was great!

Here today...gone by afternoon

Today was the day that Krissi and I decided to cut down the pear tree in the front yard. The tree is gone and the sod is laid. I am hoping that the root killer/decomposer actually works so I don't have to get someone out here to grind the stump. It was lots of work but it already looks good and hopefully we can get grass to grow.

Quilt

Mom worked hard on this quilt with a friend of hers who came to visit. It looks great!

Cabin Trip

I had a great weekend away from civilization. It made me realize that we live so close to the city but so close to the beautiful mountains. It was only an hour drive to this beautiful mountain side cabin. I got to spend time with some great friends!

More Flowers...

I am amazed each day to see the new things in bloom in my yard! Thanks mom for the green thumb! I love ya!

These mums are coming back from last year. It looks funny with the impatients.



More and more gerbera dasies!
