An Awesome Surprise!

When the flower delivery guy was bringing this to the front door at work, one co-worker was hoping it was from her husband and another thought she may have a secret admirer. No body expected it to be for me, including myself. What an awesome surprise! It made my day. It's beautiful, thank you, Jody:)

Luck

As luck would have it, I've always, strangely, been so very lucky! 

Lavender...

My lavender rose...

Breathtaking...

Shakespeare Tavern

The Shakespeare Tavern is one of my favorite places to go to. The venue has an awesome atmosphere and the actors are amazing. There is always a comical twist that keeps me laughing. Love it!

Sweetwater

The other day, I was on my way to my nieces house and had the urge to stop and take a pic. So I did!

Hit the Trails Again!

Another weekend of 4 wheeling with my bestie! This time we rode Buck's Buggy!

Rode through a little creek...

Lots of endless trails...

Actually saw a HUGE bear track! OMG!

And the sunset view to end the night was awesome!

Pouring Rain!

Last week, I got stranded on the end of the boat dock in the pouring rain! Loved it!

4 Wheeling

My bestie took me 4 wheeling over the weekend up in Gilmer county. The scenery was beautiful and the trails seemed endless!

She did most of the driving and did let me have a try at it. I was sooo happy that the 4 wheeler was an automatic! Had an awesome time with my friend:)

Hummmm.... is that a blue moon???

Bikes!

Saw a bunch of bikes at the Harley Davidson of Atlanta not to long ago with Jody. Rode up with several other bikes. It was an experience! I don't think I have ever seen that many bikes in one place before. Memorable day...

Coyotes Howling

There are coyotes that live in the woods behind the house. Sometimes when they hear the fire truck sirens, they start to howl. I happened to be on the back deck tonight when they were howling at the sirens. They sound purely amazing!

Peaceful day...

Birthday....

Had an awesome birthday this year and got some beautiful roses! Glad to be another year older and enjoying life better than ever. Looking forward to another year...

Stumbled Upon...

Went for a short walk by the lake and stumbled upon this little frog. I was surprised that he let me take such a close photo of him! And it was nice to sink my feet in the sand and get them wet today.

Joyce's Jars

These are jars that have a special meaning to me. Joyce found all these pieces of glass that washed up on the shores, of several different beaches. The pieces are all rounded and smooth from the salt water and sand. They are so colorful! Joyce passed away from cancer about two years ago. Her husband gave these to me because he knows I collect old jars. Wow... very touching to me...  

Bottle Tree

Had the honors of being introduced to a bottle tree. Love it!

And a bottle of  Veuve Clicquot Ponsardin was added to the tree...

Bunnies!

I got to see the baby bunnies over the weekend! They are soooo cute! And they all look alike with pink eyes, ears and noses.

AAHHHH!

It has been a very crazy and busy week for me. Wish I would have had more time to post on my blog!

Ducks

I got to see a momma and her baby ducks on the water. Love this time of year on the Lake!

Cloudland Canyon State Park

This was my first visit to Cloudland Canyon State Park. The view was amazing!

It was a bit of a hike to see the trickling waterfall. Hopefully, one day I'll be able to view it when there is an abundance of water cascading down the rock wall!

This was one of those "had to turn around and go back to get a pic" moments. The site was totally breath taking! Loved the eye candy :)

Double Rainbow

This is a double rainbow that I saw some time ago. For some reason, it is one of my most memorable rainbow sightings. The colors were so much more vivid in person than what the pic shows.

Trains

I am forever getting stopped by the train! I always try to get a pic of the creative graffiti as the train goes by. This one is actually one of my favorites!

The colors in this one are still so vivid!

The Squirrel

This little guy hangs out at work all the time. I am glad he finally let me get a good pic of him!

Gardenia's

The fresh cut gardenia's, on the dinning room table, smell absolutely amazing!

Memorial Day Weekend

Went to Lake Lanier with some friends for Memorial Day weekend. The sunset looked awesome!

Somebody That I Used to Know

For some reason I like this cover better than the original!

Saddie Girl

Sad day today. Lost my Saddie Girl. RIP.... I will miss you :(

Saw this little guy on the back deck this past weekend. And today, I am looking forward to a beautiful day!

So True!

Cancer

6/22 – 7/22

Overview

There is a lot of transition going on in your life right now, and there is a great opportunity for you to get rid of emotions, ideas and physical goods that you just don't need any more. The classic saying 'out with the old and in with the new' has never been more applicable for you. Toss out the phone numbers of people you will never call, and delete those emails that remind you of unpleasant memories. Clean the slate and give yourself a blank canvas to work on.

Brasstown Bald

Brasstown Bald is the highest natural point in Georgia and is part of the Blue Ridge Mountains. Simply stunning!

Unreal...

I really am not a car person. But I saw these all lined up and they really looked pretty to me! The blue one was my favorite, but the black and red wheels looked really cool to me!

My Lee

My lil' southern belle...

Mothers Day

Wanted to wish all the moms a happy mother's day.  Along with all the single dads that play the "mother" role to their kids.

Turtle...

As I was walking down the boat docks, I caught a glimpse of a turtle in the lake. I wish I could of got a better picture of it, but it seemed like it was in a hurry to get to wherever it was going.

Today's Morning...

The sun over the Lake this morning was absolutely ethereal!

A song that I am beginning to like....

Banjo

Pure inner joy, happiness, peace and love comes from within.... had an awesome day today!

My canvas...

I have just come to the realization, that when you start with a blank canvas and colors begin to fill in the white space, sometimes it is necessary for some of those colors to slowly fade away. That is so new colors can begin to fill in the gaps of the white space. 

My little brother came to visit for a few days. I decided to take him to a place called Twain's in Decatur. After ordering his favorite cocktail, he was surprised to find it on their menu! And he did say it was the best Dark & Stormy he has ever had.
