Morning at beach

Went to the beach today, first time in five years. After wading for some time, trying to keep clothes dry, I made the mistake of turning my back to the ocean. Sure enough a rather large wave slipped up behind me and knocked me on my back, then in an attempt to right myself, I was hit again and went head long into the foaming water and sand. By this time my friend laughing and saying she wished she had a camera.
I had a few things on my mind to clear, and I do believe I accomplished that with one quick wave. Did it help? Yes, but the pain will always be with me. Of course there is nothing like a free pedicure compliments of mother nature to make a lady feel better.

Pretty quiet

My friend flew back to Michigan today and it is really quiet here tonight.
We are to get some more rain tomorrow and I am happy for that. My flowers have almost tripled in size since the rain last week. The grass is green and growing.

Rain and sun makes for interesting weather

I remember Grandma always saying, rain and sun shining would mean bad storms. Well I do believe it is time to batten down the hatches. We've been receiving some of the rain and my flowers are really coming along in happy fashion!
My Azalea bush will bloom for my birthday, so I know everything is on time this year. I know the blooms won't be as full and beautiful as last year, due to the beetles that attacked last year.
I am anxiously awaiting Saturday evening, my friend I grew up with will arrive for a long over due two week visit. All I can say is, "Northeast North Carolina" will never be the same! News must travel fast, because so far I have received phone calls from my oldest brother, my friends, boyfriend and if I see my sons phone number come up, I am NOT answering the phone. I already received a lecture on being out at my age after dark. I do believe I gave a similar lecture 30 some years ago..
Trixie is on her way to New Jersey. I hope she arrives safe and sound!

My birthday wish is:*************************!!
