Yes, I am really here, too. Just thought I needed to write a quick post to the blog I suggested creating so that you would know that Mark wasn’t just here alone and making me up. LOL
I don’t know where Mark finds the time to write, either. I was going to write a longer blog, but discovered upon going to this site that Mark had already written not one new post from last night, but two — so of course, that meant I had to spend the time to read them, which in turn meant I had less time to write my own post.
I spend what seems like 6 to 8 hours, sometimes more, in the office on the computer and off every day, so when I have “time off”, sitting down at the computer to write is not the first thing I think of. Besides, I also have my own paper journal to write. (I love the “feel” of paper that has been filled with words. Is that wierd?)
I think Spring is actually here to stay. The purple crocus are blooming in the front yard and the trees look like the buds are about to burst. We want to go out this weekend to buy some trees to plant — marking our first year at the inn. We will get some cherry trees (in honor of our beloved dog Cherry who did not live long enough to see Greenville) and a dogwood (in honor of my first dog, Cherokee). We will have to put up fencing around the trees to keep the deer at bay until the trees grow tall enough.
I am still trying to catch sight of the deer on our property, they leave plenty of evidence to show that they have been here. So far I’ve only seen them once when I was out walking Spot in the evening. I see plenty of deer everywhere else. And of course, I would love to catch sight of a woodchuck!
