At Home in Georgia

Garden Pictures

Ahhhh, it's starting to rain and it's thundering off in the distance.  I've never been so grateful for clouds and rain as I have since we've moved to Georgia.  The sun can be so intense and burning and the drought has just sapped the life out of everything the past few summers.  So for now, I'm enjoying the breezy spring days, knowing what is coming! 

But... I finally have a few garden pictures - you'll have to look at my photo album, since I still haven't figured out how to put them here nicely.  I covered everything with the straw when we had that freeze, so it's still a little messy from that.  We got some azaleas today from Walmart, but were told not to plant them just yet, because it's supposed to freeze this weekend.  It doesn't look like it will, and I really hope it doesn't.  But I'm not taking chances with azaleas.  :)

We've had a wonderful spring break.  The weather has been nice and we had nothing we really NEEDED to do except house and yard work.  And no big travel plans.  So we've just had a perfect week.  Went fishing and hiking, worked in the yard and garden, played some board games, cleaned most of the house, made ice cream, and cleaned some more.  

We had the windows open yesterday, last night, and today (there are about 5 days all year in GA that aren't too cold or too hot for that!).  Oops... just had to get up and close them all because it's starting to storm!  Have a great weekend!!

Glad to meet you Michelle

Thanks for stopping by my place. I spent a bit of time looking around / reading your blog. Your garden is beautiful. I am getting the "green thumb itch". Here in Colorado we cannot safely plant until Mother's Day. I think I can make it another month. (~biting my lip~) I look forward to getting to know you better as I "visit" you at you blog. I have added you to my friends list (thanks for adding me to yours.)

Blessings; Carrie

Hi Michelle,
I followed your link from HM Homestead. Your garden photos are great. You certainly have it well-protected from critters! I don't have any of my garden fenced in and I have noticed that some little creature has been nibling my cabbages! Probably "Peter Cottontail"!
Blessings,
Cathy
