Children's Choir Musical at Blythe Island Baptist Church.


And Casiday's first vocal solo!!  Here's the video of that!


We are very proud of her!!  She did a great job!!

More work in the yard ... we finished the little patio for my new green chairs.  And, I've tested them out with both Scott and Deborah.  The whole spot is perfect for relaxing!!



We also put mulch in the flower bed ... it looks so good!!

And here's a view of all of it!

May 28 - part 2 {Girls Afternoon!}

After all that yard work, Casiday & I got cleaned up and headed to town for pedicures!!



May 28 - part 1 {Yard Work}

Today we built a new fire pit.  Woo hoo!  Our backyard is really becoming our favorite place.







And we built a little patio of sorts for my new Quiet Time chairs ...


Here is the new brick edging on the back flower bed ... where we also added some new flora.

And this is what Casiday and Lydia did while we worked ...

Thursdays are ballet day for Casiday ... here is her intermediate class.
Back:  Emma & Becky
Front: Casiday & Bethanie
 After dance tonight, we went to eat at Speed's Kitchen in Shellman Bluff.  It is way out in the middle of nowhere but has amazing shrimp.  On the way home, I got some great pics crossing over some of the south Georgia Rivers.
The Satilla River

Headed onto the Blythe Island

View off Turtle River Bridge as I drove on to Blythe Island tonight.

Last day of 4th grade ... Casiday received Achievement Awards for Art, Music and Archaeology as well as A/B Honor Roll.   We're very proud of our girl!!


And during Casiday's last day of school ... I spent some time working in my "outdoor office" writing.

Today we bought more dirt ... for the backyard.  And since we can't be in Muscle Shoals working in the yard there, how cool is it that we can go to Lowe's here and buy a little Muscle Shoals dirt for the yard here??

I love these shoes!  Thanks to my Momma who bought them for me!  I decided they are cute enough to warrant a whole day to themselves in the photo blog!  {Which I can do since I'm the one doing the photo blog ... love how that works out!}

A little Daddy-Daughter Spa Treatment


She looks like she's having fun, huh?

Here's Daddy during the big event ...

Today, we worked in the yard ... all. day. long.

But we made some great progress!!


Isn't that confederate jasmine amazing?  It smells delicious!  And I cannot wait for our tomatoes, peppers, and cucumbers!! Yummmmmm ....

Casiday "helped" ... 


And then she jumped off the picnic table.  (No need for any parenting skill comments, we know how awesome we are for letting her do that!! LOL)


Here is the super-cool hummingbird feeder my family talked me into getting ... I generally don't like small flying creatures.  But this feeder is just plain old awesome!


And on Tuesday afternoon, Scott and I will finish up this flower bed.  He has to build a border before we put it all in the ground ... needs a lot of good dirt!

What is it with men and fire?  About 9 a.m. Scott lit the burn pile.  Around 3 p.m. this is what it looked like ...




At 6 p.m. we headed out for a date (fire still going) and I looked like this ...


When we got home at 10:30 p.m. ... the burn pile was still burning.

Two things I really hate to do:

1.  Push the trash can to the road.
2.  Put gas in my car.

I loathe doing the second so much that it's not unusual to see this ...

The real me ... in the car line.

Questions without answers ...




Can someone explain this phenomenon to me, please?
