This Pup Is A Swimmer

While out and about looking at homes for sale we spotted a game of fetch.  This cute pup is a swimmer!  This lake and small park is in one of the neighborhoods we like very much.  
When I saw the mom throw that Big stick I asked hubby to do a U turn.  So glad I had my camera because it was simply too far for my cell phone camera.
I wanted to go and meet the mom of this pup, but we had an appointment to see a house.
Our Roxy and Rambo love playing fetch, but Roxy doesn't care for water and Rambo is a swimmer and will play fetch all day.  
Can you pick a favorite?? 

Short Sweet Snow in January 2017

Last weekend we were expecting 6" to 10" of snow in Cary/Raleigh, NC which would've been nice, instead we got little snow and too much rain..ice.  We still enjoyed our three whole inches. lol  We put extra food out for the critters and the pups really enjoyed it, it seems to energize them!  As for us, it was so pretty to see.  I don't think I would be happy having snow for more than a week.  I guess it's because at heart I'm a Florida girl. :)    

I'm curious, are you living in the state you truly desire or does your heart desire somewhere different? If so, where?

here's our pups with their boy Kyle.
make sure to turn up the volume so you can hear Kyle laughing and Rambo barking. :)

Now There's Three

I shared photos of two beautiful horses and now I have a third beauty for you.  I took these from our vehicle.  I didn't walk over to the fence because I didn't want to interrupt or be disrespectful of the horses/people's home.  The road you see there is the owners driveway.
I will have more later this week! :)

Two beauties I shared before

I spotted this pretty horse that just kept swaying
and taking one step.

He/she heard me talking.  lol

Watch the tail!

the tail was putting on a show!
what is that tail saying?!

They must have some good ears
because as you can see I was quite far away.

Sun, Snow & Shadows

Everything is prettier with sunshine...

Sweet Heidi

Bare Beauty

It's a different kind of winter here in Cary, it's cold!  In Orlando 55 degrees was freezing to us, but here 55 degrees with the sunshine is a perfect day.  I wish it was going to be 55 today or even 45, not happening.  It was 12 degrees at 6:30 this morning and now it's a sunny 18 degrees!

These trees make me think of my son.  When Kyle was young and wanted a toy or something I would remind him that having fun and nice things is fine, but if one day you no longer have things make sure You're a good and kind person because that's all that really matters.  These trees are mostly bare, but yet are still beautiful.  

in our neighborhood

our backyard

Around the corner from our home,  yep that's 5 o'clock traffic
 and that's a pretty tree I look at just about every time I leave home. :)

Our First Fall In Cary

The weather here in Cary is beautiful!  The leaves are just starting to turn and it gets more beautiful day by day.  
We will be decorating the house for Halloween today or tomorrow.  We will be handing out candy since we're in a neighborhood full of kids. :)  I'll make sure to get candy that we all like, since we eat about half of it. lol!

Dogs In Cars

Here in Cary, we see puppy dogs everywhere!  I see a lot of dog stickers on cars and a lot of pups in the front seat of cars. :)  
When we saw this black beauty I started snapping with my cell phone.  She/he seemed to really enjoy this convertible Cadillac.  I'm not into convertibles, but this had me thinking about a jeep. :)  I think our pups would love it!
If you have a puppy dog, do you take them for car rides?  Do they behave well?  Would you or do you trust them in a convertible??

I told hubby to follow that car! lol

I think she/he spotted me snapping away with my phone.

Our Life In Cary

We're really enjoying our new home in Cary!  It didn't take long before the neighborhood squirrels came by to welcome us look for treats. lol!  And as you would guess, it didn't bother me one bit!  They are so smart and so entertaining!   
I've actually seen a Bald Eagle in my backyard.  A bunch of crows were chasing it.  He/she landed in the top of a pine tree and talk about gorgeous!  Sadly, it all happened so fast that I didn't have a chance to snap a pic.  Those crows really work well as a team, quite impressive birds.
Son and hubby have been practicing archery, I've been planting flowers and the pups are enjoying their new playground. :)
It's a beautiful day here!  Hope you're day is beautiful in every way!

Our view from the eat in kitchen area

The Blue Birds are so pretty!

Roxanne took ownership of this limb quickly! lol

Rambo loves the backyard!
The fence to the left is what hubby, my dad and uncle built. 

North Carolina Is Home For Me Again

Hi everyone!  I know it's been awhile and I've missed you all!  
The move wasn't easy, but we're finally getting settled into our new home in Cary, NC.  A BIG thank you to my parents that helped us move here!  We love you and are very grateful!  My dad drove a moving truck, hubby drove a moving truck and Kyle and I drove the Navigator with our pups. :)  We had a convoy!  We drove all night long and arrived to our new home at 9:30 a.m.. 
Kyle and I cried as we left our home of many years.
 But, now it's time for a new adventure!

Kyle graduated high school May 9th!  We're very proud and we will be having a big celebration when my parents come to visit again.  
I've met some nice people here already!  I'm especially looking forward to meeting Madi and her mom!  They live really close by in Raleigh.  Even though our address is Cary we're very close to Apex and Raleigh, a very convenient location.

I have family that live in eastern NC and I'm looking forward to spending time with them!  

I'll be around to your blog soon!  Hope everyone is doing well.
Please keep Chatty Crone and MadSnapper in your prayers!  They're both dealing with health issues.

I'll leave you with the our last days in Orlando and our first days in Cary, NC...now home. :)

Is It Really April?!

Hi and happy April fool's day and spring time!  I sure hope everyone is doing well. :)

We've been so busy packing, finding a home, and celebrating all kinds of special days.  

On Valentine's Day my son gave me these pretty roses.  Ever since he was a very young boy he would pick me a flower because he said it always made me smile. :)  

March 1st was my dad's anniversary of being self employed, 36 years!  And he couldn't have done it without my mom. :)

March 6th my hubby celebrated his 40th birthday!

On March 8th our fur baby, Roxanne-Love, celebrated her 9th birthday!  

March 12th was my uncle's birthday!  

March 25th was my dad's birthday!

We're also celebrating that we have a new home in Cary, NC!  Yay!!!  It couldn't be a prettier time of year to make this big move.  The pups are very excited because they will have a bigger yard to run and chase butterflies in. :)  

It's hard to believe it's already April!   We have another Mama Mallard sitting on her nest in our yard.  She took a bath on our front porch yesterday in a pail of water that we set out for her. :)  

The weather here in Orlando couldn't be any nicer, it's sunny and around 73 degrees...just beautiful!  Hope you are having a beautiful day as well!
