Well things are finally turning more to Spring than Winter here in NC. While it has been cold (even frost/freeze warning the last week) it has been moving forward to Spring. The leaves are actually coming out. I went to my house in SC 2 weeks ago and the one rose I'm digging up and bringing here to NC had buds on it. Never have I seen roses blooming this early! The birds are chirping and building nests too. I moved to my apartment on March 27th in Salisbury, NC. I still have not sold the house in Lake City, SC but I did just lower the price. I hope it sells soon! Keep that on your prayer list please!! I will continue to go down to SC and do somethings around the house but I do have to say I love being back for the majority of the time in NC. I have also been enjoying being with Scott more! The 3 hour commute was getting on both of our nerves. Now I am about 10 minutes from him, so much better. I have been enjoying his kids also. They really are good kids! Here are some photos showing Spring is really here!

| I made this Irish Soda Bread for St. Patrick's Day dinner. I also made corned beef, cabbage, carrots and potatoes. It was so good! |

| My lavender at the SC house started blooming about 2.5 weeks ago. |

Well I hope all the Spring things give you some hope, that yes Spring is coming or has arrived no matter where you live! Have a great day!
Good to know you're enjoying spring and your new adventures! Prayers said for a new owner for your beautiful home! Linda in Kansas
ReplyDeleteThanks Linda! I hope it sells soon and thanks for the prayers!
DeleteLooking good for Spring your way Sherri.
ReplyDeleteGlad your move went well, that you are settling in, and are closer to Scott.
Hope the house sells soon - it will be a lovely home for some lucky family as you did a lot to improve it whilst there.
Happy Spring - enjoy each day.
Hugs - Mary
Thanks Mary! I hope Spring has arrived in Raleigh also! :)
DeleteYou have such an amazing green thumb, Sherri. I'm keeping my fingers crossed for you that your beautiful home will sell quickly. I've heard the rise in interest rates has hurt the real estate market. I'm really glad you've found such happiness with Scott.
ReplyDeleteThanks Kay! Yes, I had heard that about the real estate market. I might have to lower it again. I just need it sold! :)
DeleteI'm praying your house sells soon, Sherri. Loved seeing your photos. You have a green thumb, for sure! The orchid is a beauty.

Thanks Mary for the prayers! This market has slowed down in Lake City so much. I just love the orchids and I'm glad they like their new home! :)
