Wow it was a crisp morning and supposed to be even crispier in the AM. Nancy and I after our quiet time took a long hike to the top and took some pics of Bull Head and towards Mt.Rodgers(Virginia). The air was so clear it looked(3-D) as if you could reach out and touch the next ridge. It was a bit breezy at times and Nancy wore a sweat shirt all day....... We took a golf cart ride just before lunch and saw Tommy Brown moving a large modular building up our back road to his place. It was huge and the movers where breaking tree limbs(with the building) as they moved to the top through the woods. We saw one of Mr. Blackie's buddy's sunning himself along our back trail.......After lunch I worked on getting Nancy's birdhouse ready for installation; painting 3 coats on the base plus a coat of polyurethane on the house itself, digging a post hole and cutting the post. While waiting for the paint to dry in between coats I transplanted some okra, beets and zinnias......While Nancy got the house ready for guests this Saturday; the Carlsons are coming for the afternoon and we will cook some wieners over the fire on sticks and hamburgers on the grill. We will play a little badminton to work up the appetite....... Sunday the Botbyl's will come for 4 nights and 3 days as they will arrive Sunday evening. They missed a visit last year so much has changed since they were last here....... I cut 20+ bean poles for my 1/2 runners as they are starting to send out runners. After a supper of the best catfish we've eaten in a long time(thanks to Andy Dalton who caught these in Lake San tee, South Carolina) we took another walk to the top and saw the building Tommy had moved on to the back of his property. Matt( their yard man and our mail carrier) said he was going to use it for storage....... We came back down only to find where the deer had eaten our lily's in the back yard to the ground. Oh well tonight could be a restless night as our hosta's are growing out from when the deer ate them before we came up. Nancy and I watered the gardens by hand and then had a nice campfire, hopping the smoke will keep the deer away...... Later missing our babies and grand babies and of course all of you as well.
