Spring in Raleigh

Spring in Raleigh is as always just flat out beautiful. This is one of the last of the daffodils and they were of course once again just an ocean of blooms in our yard.














Stephen says that I do not mention Patt enough in the blog, so I would like to point out that Patt has not been mowing the yard frequently enough and the weeds in the back yard have gotten really high. Ever since the drought a few years ago the back yard has just been a weed success story and the crop has gotten stronger each year. This year is one of our best. Patt has let the mowing slip once again and we will be needing to remind her of the need to get it done.
















The dogwoods are starting to bloom and are of course pretty and













the azaleas are out of sight. The ones on the property line next to John's are especially bold, and the one in the back yard where we buried Deacon next to the dragon statue is just beautiful.

    In my country women do as told. If not, good beating helps. After you get from clinic get her good mower that pull self, then you not get tired when you mow grass. Read this on internets, no grass for mowing in my country. We smoke it, good stuff. Insallah.

  2. Oh Paul - what are we going to do with you?! Patt - if I was you, I would just go off and visit my daughter in a far away land! You are right about Spring - it is such a welcome sight -our winters are always about 2 weeks too long for me.
