north carolina: Sunday in Pinehurst | Golf & Football
- 10/25/10 09:46 AM
WOW...we've had the most beautiful weather here in Pinehurst so far this Fall Season. A little warmer than the 'norm', but very pleasant for all outdoor activities. Golf, of course, is the game of choice here in Pinehurst! I admit that I don't get out on the golf course as much as I should. I certainly could use the practice!!! I didn't have any real estate appointments yesterday, so we went out early to get in 9 holes. The sky was Carolina Blue, the greens were perfect, the birds were singing, the squirrels were collecting acorns, the putts were dropping....you get … (2 comments)

north carolina: Food Chain at Work in My Backyard
- 10/16/10 03:19 AM
"HAWKEYE"!!! This BIG guy scared the *&^#@ out of me while I was planting annuals by my mailbox the other day. I was bent down digging in the dirt and I heard a couple of loud 'thuds', like something falling out of the trees. I look up to see this HUGE bird fly over me and make a u-turn back to my backyard. I then hear the squirrels going crazy, making their high-pitched distress calls. I saw the BIG BIRD land and I couldn't believe how big he was. I freaked out, thinking that he might have his eye on my … (5 comments)

north carolina: My Rain Barrel is FULL! But, My Roof Is Leaking!....Oh NO!
- 09/29/10 03:58 AM
My Rain Barrel is FULL!...Yeah! But, My Roof Is Leaking!...Oh No! It is a ‘bad' sign when I tap out my rain barrel. I don't even know how many gallons of water it holds, but I know it takes me a very long time to use all the water that it contains when it is full. I used the last of the water in the barrel last Thursday before I left town for the weekend. It has been terribly hot and dry here in the Sandhills and the rain that passed through this weekend was much needed. When I got … (3 comments)
