I live in Nashville, but originally from NC. I love books, movies, shopping and dogs, to name a few. You'll find I'm not the best at keeping up with my blog, but I have good intentions! I like to share pictures and stories with anyone who feels like reading this.

Flowers and My Puppy Dog













I am SO proud of my bleeding heart bush, I just can't even tell you. It's gotten even bigger since I took these pictures, but until we have a sunny day and maybe another growth spurt or two, I probably won't take any more. How cool are these blooms? And then I have no idea what these other flowers are, and the blooms were knocked off by the frost a week or two ago, so hopefully they'll come back. I planted these bulbs in the fall, so no, I did not plant things too early this year, they just decided to show themselves early.=) And because I planted them back then, I don't remember what they are. I'm going to have a lot of surprises like that appearing in my yard soon! It's actually kind of cool to not remember what I planted, I'll get to find out what they are along with everyone else, HAHA! Oh and Mom, I included a picture of the kitchen with my new plants and plantstands, and my little plates up on the wall.
And of course, the rest of the pictures are of Tyson, the cutest dog in the whole entire world. Clint is taking him to Mom's this coming weekend, where he'll be staying for a while, and I'm going to miss him so much!! Perhaps this is just an underhanded plan of Mom's to get me to come visit her more often...............=)=) Just kidding! I love this picture of him with his mouth wide open about to attack his toy. And the very serious one by the fence is so funny, because he may look very frowny, but that's definitely not his personality. That's just his poker face. Enjoy!

Memphis-March 2009

Finally, I'm getting around to the Memphis pictures! Here is a glimpse of Beale Street at dusk, before we went to the Grizzlies basketball game. You might even see some BAB's being carried around, you can drink on the street here, woo hoo!
Matt and Meagan at dinner before the game

Eric and I at dinner before the game

The giraffes and their keeper at the Memphis Zoo. There were babies! (6 feet tall babies)

The daddy giraffe trying to get some water. You'd think they'd put some up higher when this guy is so tall!

This was a picture of Eric and I, but as you can see from the small bit of him I couldn't crop out, he decided to make a stupid face. I thought it was a good picture of me, so I promised him I wouldn't post this with him in it, but I couldn't do much about how close he was to me, LOL!
YaYa with her back to us. I took some of LeLe, too, but they were so blurry with him behind the glass. YaYa's stomach was supposedly shaven because they had taken some ultrasounds of her stomach (she's trying to get pregnant), but you can't see it here. I love pandas!

The miniature spotted donkeys in the farm area. Had to go visit them, of course!

One of the red pandas. They have the cutest little paws. Usually these guys are so far up in the trees you can't see them, but they were out and about just after the rainfall.
