Beautiful

Wood and I went to a colleague and friend's wedding this weekend. I thought these flower held in water by florist's wire and rocks was just gorgeous with the candle light around it. We were entertained with clarinet and piano music before the wedding started which was just fantastic with the accoustics in the church. I loved it. We got there a little earlier so took a tour of the neighborhood which is just east of Atlanta. Ooh my what gorgeous houses with lots of property and very quaint neighborhoods. All reasonably affordable at least compared to CA. Anyway it was an enjoyable weekend with a ride on the beastess on the backroads up to Rome as well

Pretty nasty storm and Petey out and about

Saturday we had one of the nastiest storms for us this year. Seems like a squall past just right over our house. 300 yards away very little wind damage. We had 60-70 mile mph winds, trees bending sideways and 'hominy' size hail. Pretty exciting all in all. Lost several branches from our dead trees. Petey decided our bed was the safest place to be- first time he has been scared. Then after the storm it was wild dog on the run. We went on a pretty long ride up and around Rome, GA on Sat. Gorgeous ride really. Then Wood went on his own exploratory ride on Sunday while I discovered Wii fit. SUCH FUN. I love the balance games!!! Petey wanted some fun too so Wood took him on his own short ride. We finally figured out how to get him in his little carrier with little effort. I predict next time he will hop right in himself. He LOVES to ride!

Today's find (sort of)

Petey found an intact snake skin while we were eating lunch today. About 2 feet long. Can't really tell what kind of snake it is (was) but very cool. don't think I have ever seen one complete like this head end I believe We have the biggest daddy long legs here, this guy was .... orange size easily :-)
