Wild Violets
Did you know that wild violets are considered a weed? It is classified as difficult to control because it has waxy leaves, an extensive root system and is fairly resistant to weed killers. Actually, I’m very happy they are so resistant because look how pretty! 🙂 Not many people actively plant weeds in their garden ~ now you can say you know someone who does.

Photos & Little Letters
Dear People Who Text While You Drive, Are you kidding me? If you are that anxious to wreck your car, there are plenty of walls you could run in to and it wouldn’t damage any other cars in the process. Dear Spam Commenter, While I’m happy you think my post on a local park “sounded delicious”, or you must “disagree with my political views” when I post a recipe…I’m still not going to approve your comment and help you sell your wares. Dear Townhouse Landscapers, I really wish you wouldn’t blow all the debris from the parking lot into the flower beds I spent hours cleaning or all over our vehicles. It is…

Yet Another Reason
I have an extreme dislike for raccoons. I love hummingbirds. This is my hummingbird feeder I happily filled yesterday afternoon and hung it on the designated hook on my fence….the one I installed last year when I hung my feeder. I originally had a little fancier feeder, but the hummers didn’t seem to interested in it….so I opted for this less expensive one. Day after day I would watch the feeder, hoping for visitors. Sadly, I didn’t experience hummers….but it was late in the year by the time I hung my feeder. I was very hopeful for this year….I would get mine out early. I was timing it with the growth of a large bush…

One Year
One year ago today, I made the decision to join the Land of Blog. I nervously typed my little message and hit publish. There it was…my first post….I was official. I really had no clue as to what I was doing. I happy to say I finally figured things out and even to this day, I’m still learning. In this past year, I have met wonderful people…..I have learned so much about so many different places, different lives. But when you really think about it, we are all pretty much the same. This past year was better than I thought it would be….I’m so happy to know you all! Thank you for…

33 Years Ago…..
Thirty three years ago, my boyfriend at that time and I decided we wanted an adventure. I was 22, he was 27. We were both from the East Coast….I had traveled some in my young years because my father and stepfather were in the Navy……he had spent his entire life in Virginia. I was from the coast, he was from the Piedmont area. We met while working together at a hotel in Williamsburg ~ at that time known as the Best Western 1776. He was a waiter, I was a desk clerk. We met….dated….and fell in love. After a period of dating, we moved in together and planned our adventure. We saved and…

Undecided
I got off work in time to get some sunset photos earlier this week. I’m having a hard time deciding which one to share with you ~ so I decided to pick all three. In case this is your first visit ~ I do love me a good sunset! 🙂 I wasn’t able to make this next one as large as I would have liked and it fit on the page properly….click on the image to get a larger view

Outside My Window ~ 2.28.10
Outside My Window…is blue skies, sunshine and a slight breeze. The temperature at 11:30 a.m. is 42º with a 37º wind chill….forecast high is expected to be around 54º. It doesn’t actually feel all that chilly outside. I was surprised to see the wind chill was that low. I went out earlier this morning without a jacket and thought it felt quite nice. I am thinking…about all the things I need to get accomplished today. It is a bit of a list, but not an impossibility. I started some chores early this morning and decided to take a break to do this post for the day. I am thankful for…not getting sick last…
