and the hard work is almost over

at some point, ill figure out this blogging thing.
an hour tops. lmbo.
today i took on my front beds. With the help of my friend Ann (who said it would take an hour). Tanya helped too. Ann and I dug up the 4 inches of ugly white rock, 3 remaining pines, 3 honeysuckle bushes and the ugly privet hedges. I wish I could express how much I have hated these beds since forever. Please, don't worry. I have a plan. it includes bff B, not falling or choking on vomit. soft grass and pretty flowers. ill post before and after soon.
Tomorrow is the yarn shops 4 year anniversary. needless to say, my dance card is full.

Sundays with Melissa

Melissa (knits) and I have begun to spend Sunday afternoons together in search of a healthier lifestyle. lmbo.
We share similar goals: We would both like to get in better shape and we both enjoy checking out the scenery and happenings around us. AND KNITTING!
Thus far, we have spent a little time at Panera Bread in Morehead City, we've travelled to Edenton, NC in search of yarn shops and we have tooled around locally- walking and eating and knitting.
For about two years, I have wanted to go over to Arapahoe, NC to visit camp Don Lee for their Sunday dinner. Apparently, they also have Monday and Tuesday dinner, as well.
The boys and I packed up this morning and met Melissa out in Havelock to carpool. hwy 70 to 101 to ferry rd on 306. We love a good ferry ride.
Dinner was amazing. Roast beef, turkey, grilled shrimp, scallops, asparagus, mixed veggies, fruit, salad, and dessert. nom.
The grounds are amazing. I wish i had thought to take pictures.
On to the woods.
We went out to a recommended trail out in the Croatan forest just off of 306. Just over 4.5 miles of hiking in about 2 hours. Wow! was it ever beautiful.
Danny and Gus had a great time running through the forest, hiding and climbing. They climbed trees, kicked fungus and got dirty. a little something gross on Gus's finger. I just wanted to share my beautiful day in the forest today.
