These are two gardenias I got about 11 years ago. They’ve gotten huge!
I’ve been spending a lot of time trying to get the pool clean. It’s been slow going though. I’m having a bit of a problem with algae, but I think it’s finally been conquered. After I walk the dog tonight, I’m going to jump in!
It’s been raining off and on for a few days, which is good. We needed it. I think we might continue to have showers over the next few days, but I usually don’t pay much attention to weather forecasts. I just wait and see what happens. I’ve known people whose every movement hinged on the weather forecast and that never made any sense to me. It wasn’t like they were farmers or anything.
Anyway, it was a great night for a walk, so Buddy and I went out. I took this picture with my trusty iPhone.
I’ve been working with a new customer, Brad Charles, to construct a web site. I have to say that I don’t think I’ve met such a nice person in a long, long time. I want to give hm a little plug here! If you’re in the Southern Pines area and need equine (horse) fencing, please give him a call!

According to the Ohio State University Extension fact sheet on wisteria (Wisteria sinensis), it’s a member of the pea family! I think wisteria is a beautiful plant, but many here in NC think it’s a monster, because it devours its host. Around here, you see it everywhere, growing on any tree or structure it can find. I found this vine on some trees behind our office.
Another sure sign of spring (aside from the haze of yellow pine pollen currently engulfing us), are the blossoming of azaleas. These are in front of my house.
Buddy and I went to Martin Park in Southern Pines yesterday for a walk. He really had a great time, as you can see. Today is warmer and sunnier! I’ve been doing some chores in the house, but every chance I get, I’m going outside to soak up some sun. the forecast for the upcoming week indicates high temperatures in the 60s and even 70! The lows are creeping up too, with night time temperatures in the 40s and 50s. My favorite time of year is approaching. I predict that I’ll be getting the pool ready pretty soon.
