May 1, 2010 -- Time is flying by and we have not started work yet…we are on the schedule to begin on Monday, May 3.
We are all settled in and have the trailer as well as the patio pretty much the way we want to live for the next few months. There are bright flowers and hummingbird feeders. The awning is out and tied down as tight so that it doesn’t flap!
Friday we explored Mt. Airy, NC (home of Andy Griffith…and, Mayberry RFD)…it was a beautiful drive with dogwood and azaleas everywhere. So far we have not seen any rhododendron in bloom…I think it is sometime in June before they come out!
Lake Ridge RV Resort is about 7 miles to the NE of Hillsville out in the country. On our way to and from town we see this BIG BOY nearly every time!
This morning they were having “Spring Fest” at the Southwest Virginia Farmers Market right here at Hillsville and we visited it and listened to mountain music while eating fresh pulled pork sandwiches. There were lots of flowers for sale as well as the real “Virginia Hams” in bags and sliced Virginia Ham in shrink wrapped packages. We bought a cabbage, new potatoes and onion as well as a couple bags of different homemade trail mix…one with cranberries, raisins, nuts and raspberries and a bag of Roasted Green Peas!
Here on the patio the hummingbirds took no time in finding the sweet nectar I cooked up for them and they entertain us constantly! It is amazing how they seem to hover just like they are looking us over!
Denny wants to know..."HAVE YOU EVER SEEN A HUMMINGBIRD PREENING ITSELF...UP CLOSE AND PERSONAL?????" Isn't this a neat shot?
