We went to Norfolk and the new owners of our house walked out the door as we walked by. They invited us in. They've done very little inside except paint--and they love the house which makes us feel good. They have relandscaped, though; had it done professionally. I'm anxious to see what it looks like against the house when it grows a bit. It seems a bit bare now.

This looks great! Even if I did spend hours and hours planting flowers there!

GB Jones gave me a puppy harness and since Little Bear is so laid back I practiced on her. Mary Dillingham says she looks like a patchwork quilt!

Mary Dillingham gave me a harness for Blackie. It took forever to figure out how to get it on him. I was working on "gee," "haw" and "whoa" but I've stopped.

We got a late March snow. It didn't last long, but was pretty while it was here.

We have a picture of this somewhere on another month, but this one is of better quality. The house (shed?) is between our house and Boone, NC.

I love this baby goat. She's only a few days old here, but she's still my favorite at a month or so.I call her Cami.

This little girl is named Oreo. Her Mommy has sore front feet so she walks on her front knees. But now she's getting better, thanks to antibiotics. There is another little girl with 3 colors that looks like a calico cat, so we call her Calico.

This one is Calico. Sandra is holding her.

Big Girl is aptly named. She probably weighs about a 100 pounds, but she's very sweet. She belongs to Bonnie, who lives next to Josh and Sandra.

Another picture of Cami, who is growing quickly.

Storms can come up quickly here, but the wind isn't blowing yet.

A group of us from our church went to Rocky Mount Historic Site in Piney Flats. Besides being fun, we learned a lot.

Circa 1770, the territorial capitol under Governor William Blount from 1790 to 1792, is restored to the original simplicity with much 18th-century furniture; log kitchen, slave cabin, barn, blacksmith shop, smokehouse. They also had goats in the pasture.

This is our group.

This is the Main House and Dining Room. On the far right, behind the redbud tree is the Kitchen.

These youngsters are getting ready for the Easter Egg hunt at our church. I got to help hide eggs.

Actually, we were on Route 321 driving to Boone, NC. I love that road, even if it is a twisty one.

I was looking for flowering trees. Jerry refuses to stop every 50 feet (what a spoil sport he is!!) so I have to take my pictures from a moving car.

I like this one of the Redbud and the fence.

This high mailbox has "bills" written on it. We've seen a similar one near Annapolis, MD that had "air mail" written on theirs!

We had a picture of Grandfather Mountain posted last fall also, but here's another one.

Congratulations to Josh and Sandra on the birth of Lacy Ann. Isn't she beautiful?! She was born April 18, 2006.

...his fleece was white as snow...He was born April 25th. He was about an hour and a half old when this picture was taken and was the hit of the neighborhood! He has a very attentive Mommy.

Oreo and Calico are getting bigger now, and will be let into the pasture soon. Look at those blue eyes!

This calf is about two weeks old, I think, maybe younger. There are several youngsters and they have fun running and playing together. I've never before taken the time to watch them play, and didn't think calves could be so much fun. And cute!
