Bluff Mountain Mud Creek

Up at 5 am to get the dogs walked and fed and on the road by 6:15 for a 3 1/2 hr. drive to Bluff Mountain for our Nature Conservancy hike to see the bogs on the Appalachian Trail.  Unfortunately, got a call about an hour in that it had to be cancelled due to incoming storms.  Now set for May 26.

The peonies are open!

Yesterday, up at 5:30 am to get in line early for the Mud Creek Yard Sale.  Not as many finds as last year, but can't complain.

Love this vintage lantern, it's a keeper!

Thursday Mindy took me to lunch for my birthday (I know, my bday is December, but this is how it rolls with so much to do and trying to get together) before my haircut at Honey & Salt.  Yummy!

At lunch Mindy told me about the house in town she and a friend are flipping and that all the huge azaleas were dug up and if I wanted some to go get them.

Got 3 huge ones into the back of my car.  Another chore that was not on the list this week, but how could I pass them up?!

I now have them waiting to be planted along my wooded garden path once the rain stops.

So since the hike is cancelled and we are back home, I will continue to brush out the dogs' undercoat.  Princess got a bath yesterday and is blowing her coat all over the house.  Yes, this is only one of many bins of fur I will get off of four dogs.  It takes weeks to get them all brushed out.  Never a minute to spare!
