May 18 : Want ...

I would love to live in the Biltmore! 250 rooms, 43 bathrooms, a swimming pool and a gym in the basement - quite advanced for the early 1900s!! If you have time to visit Asheville, NC, you need to make a trip to The Biltmore Estate. I spent a full day there, but there are trails to be explored, and you can even do a segway tour! I'm sure you can easily spend a weekend there! Check out the website for the different types of itineraries.

We had crummy weather that day, but I took some pretty photos to share! They were all taken outdoors because photography is not allowed in the house.









Hope you had a good weekend!

May 17 : Season

What kind of season, you may ask. Why, tis the season for ticks! Grrrr... I hate them. They get onto Scuffy, and because he sleeps with us, they get onto J and I. And that's the reason we gave him a buzz cut today! Kept his white chest hair though, we thought he looked pretty regal with that puffy chest... *giggles*

May 16 : Mailbox - The Doggie Barber

This mailbox belongs to a dog groomer, just two doors down from our house. I had to walk by to take a picture of it today! Which reminds me, I gotta get Scuffy a haircut!

News from the garden : FMSPhoto a Day entry for May 15 - 7 O'Clock

Every evening we water or weed. I got a tan just from working in the garden!
Here are some pictures of what's going on in the garden so far!




This is our first strawberry of the season. It wasn't easy keeping an eye on it every day, watching it ripen, making sure the bugs or animals don't get to it first. Finally when we picked it, it was so sweet! Or maybe I was just tasting happiness!






We picked some green onions for dinner tonight. So fresh, so crisp, and a little spicy!
I used it as a garnish in a sauce made out of vinegar, soy sauce, sesame oil, minced ginger and chilli.
It was so tasty!






And a whole bunch of radishes! What to do with them???



I hope your garden is doing good too!

May 14 : Need ...

A haircut! That's for sure!

How do you wear your hair in the summer? I'm thinking temperatures are gonna soar pretty soon! Keeping it short should be the way to go, but I would like to let it grow out and really curl my hair for a change. It's been awhile and my hair is black, wavy, (crazy) and boring. And I'm at that awkward in-between stage - not too short but not quite long enough to do anything fancy! Pffft! Very frustrating!
