Spring at Little Brown Cottage

Now that spring has FINALLY arrived, my garden is looking wonderful. Still having trouble keeping up with the weeds, but oh well, that is part of gardening. Enjoy the beautiful pictures.

Vacation Time

I haven't blogged for awhile because we have been on vacation. We traveled to Tennessee and North Carolina. Our first stop was Pigeon Forge and Gatlinburg. We stayed at a campground we like on the very end of the Pigeon Forge strip just before you enter the Parkway for Gatlinburg. We took the trolleys and visited the Old Mill and also took the trolley into Gatlinburg. We rode the lift chair to the top of the mountain the looks over the town. The next day we rented a car and went to visit friends that have property there. That was quite an adventure, VERY hard to find their place, lots of back roads. Very beautiful once we found them, their property goes right to the top of their mountain, the view is incredible.

Painting Easter Eggs

Last weekend I was able to visit Sara and her family and I took craft eggs over for the kids to paint. They did it last year also, and had lots of fun.

Sophie's new bed

It seems that Sophie has decided that the spare room bed is now hers. When we do not put her out in the kennel at night we keep finding her on the bed in the spare room.

Spphie's First Swim

We had to get Ralph, Buford's nephew un-stuck back at his father-in-laws farm this evening so we took Sophie with us. I had forgotten there was a pond back there, we haven't been back there since our children were small. Sophie discovered the water and in she went. Buford and Ralph threw sticks for her and she brought them back. Never mind that it is about 45 today.

Sophie missing dad

Last weekend Buford had to go out of town. Sophie spend most of her waking moments looking out the window watching for him to come home. When I let her out, she went to his truck and smelled all around it looking for him. She was one happy dog when he got home. They are best buddies.
