This is my friend that I grew up with and went through 10 years of school with!! She and her husband left this morning for IN after spending over a week with us here in GA. We all had a great time, and I went places I have never been before! haha (Men don't like to stop in some shops!!) Rock and I are packing now to return to FL, as it is COLD here and I don't do cold well!! It's time anyway!
A pic of Space Needle with sun directly behind it--beautiful!!

We were in a "gift shop" in Delonaga, and found this!! Cute-it's a toilet paper holder!! Even has "Joe the Plumber" on it! hahahahaha (the head comes off so you can put rolls down the wood)

Today is a gloomy, rainy day! Think we needed a bit of sunshine here.
Today is also Rock's birthday! He'll get his favorite for dinner, pasta with shrimp and coconut cream pie!! Twin gerbera dasies! Love them!
The hay seats we sat on at the folk fair, smelled so good! This is not Rock and I but someone in front of us!! lol

We went to the fair at the Folk School in North Carolina yesterday. It is a yearly event where many artists of all kinds show their work. Some are very clever in what they make. Here is a group of dancers, all holding flat, metal bands, a very interesting "dance". They never let go of them. I don't know which country it comes from either.

Here's a group of musicians (yee haw type!!) in performance. 2 bangos, 1 violin, 1 base, 1 guitar (extra one is a "singer" helping out! They played banjo pickin' music, very good!
Here are my three little red raspberry plants! Doesn't look like much for the $$ I paid, but they will multiply fast! I hope!! They are IN the ground, a mixture of sand, mushroom compost, clay and planting soil. I think they have grown an inch already!
This is sage I brought from FL and a new little rosemary plant, that will grow through the fencing, which is ok with me!! It will grow BIG!!

This is my new "garden" in GA!! Thank you Suze!! Rock has these posts buried in cement! Of course, they are all perfectly spaced and square and even!! I had ordered 6 raspberry bushes, and 3 came 3 days ago. I will also plant lettuce, etc. there. Rock extended the deck out to the entrance of garden. With the red clay here in GA, it is slippery and gooey when wet!
The screening is up, (I helped!) and the gates on! No deer will get to those berries! Can't paint the wood till next year, Suze, it's pressure treated! Paint would roll off. But you better know, it will get painted!
