It's been a busy day. I have gotten the grass cut and did a little plumbing project. Last year Campbell broke the front, outside spigot off and flooded the basement. Luckily there was a shutoff valve right there. It has taken me a whole year, but today I finally fixed it. Yes! All by myself. I even raised it up so that my watering can for my flowers can fit under. I hooked the hose up to it and fertilized the flower pots and the flower garden. I am feeling pretty handy. Best of all, NO LEAKS! I was terrified that I would cut the water on and little sprays would pop out all over the place. Not today!
I am getting ready to go to a shower for my friend Megan. She is getting married July 23. I am excited for her and the shower should be fun. First I must get the gas and grass smell off. It's into the shower for me and then to take Campbell to Mom and Dad's to spend the night.
When I was a little kid, I used to spend time in Eastern North Carolina on my grandparents farm. There was a sandy road that I walked to my cousins' house. On that road was an old, faded, sign that read "Snipper Snapper Hole". I don't know why, but I just love the sound of that. I guess it is in the percussion of the words and in the memories they hold.
About Me
- Beth
- I am the mom of a 17 year old, a 14 year old, and I am a 4th grade teacher. I live in a beautiful area of Western North Carolina and can be found outside as much as possible. I have 2 big dogs. Sam is a yellow lab, and Maggie is a mostly doberman. I also have a crazy cat named Daisy, who is definately the queen of the house. As well as 3 other furry felines. My favorite place away from home is the riding ring where I ride horses and you can find me there as often as I can possibly make it happen. There is nothing like a horse.
