Mountain Mama… Country Living
Here are a few pictures Grace took on our Grundy trip. This picture was taken from Granny’s yard looking down on the road.
Looking down the “holler” from the yard.
Granny’s azalea bush in full bloom.
Snowball bush. We had a great visit. It is a very different type of terrain there than it is here. Lots of mountains and lots of trees. Almost everything is built on a hill. I enjoy going back to visit but I prefer living here. Take care and God bless.
I was hoping with this shot to show all the trees colors together. The yellow of the forsythia, the white of the dogwood, and the purple of the lilac. This area is extremely fragant this time of year. When I’m hanging clothes on the line it smells so wonderful. Temperatures have been a little chilly here but today promises to warm up nicely. We are doing school as usual.Today will be our last spelling list. Yeah! I love doing school with my girls but we are all ready for summer break. I have made out my list of books for next year. We useABEKA.They offer free shipping in the month of April, so I want to order them before themonth is over.New books are always exciting around here.This evening I think we will be going into “little town” to get a few groceries, our seed potatoes and a few cabbage plants. I solook forward to enjoying fresh vegetables. Lunch break is over so I better get busy. God bless.
Well the forecast for freezing rain was correct. Not as much as they first thought but enough. The first picture is from my dining room window. It shows the accumulation on the trees. The second picture is from our kitchen door. Yes, I know it looks like water running down the yard but it is actually ice. I’m not very good at guessing ice accumulation but I would think at least a 1/4 of an inch. Oh well, temperatures are supposed to get above freezing tomorrow so maybe this storm will be short-lived. More rain coming in on Sunday, though. School has went very well this week. We have stayed on schedule and this always makes school more fun. No bible study today because of the ice. I certainly do miss those ladies. It’s been several weeks since we met. This does happen frequently though in January. I guess I better get busy. No bible study means school day. God Bless.
Here is a picture taken from our back porch. The trees are really getting some color to them. This one is a little late getting color. I hope to get some really good fall pictures to post. The temperatures have been a little cool here, overcast and dreary. Not good weather for picture taking. School has been going pretty good. I read this ladies blog and she talked about how they took about 30 minutes every morning to pick up and clean up. We have been trying this out and it works so much better for us. I can concentrate on school then and I am not distracted by housework that needs to be done. Speaking of school, it’s time for us to begin. God Bless
