Hickory Hill Gardens







These babies are Poppy Jewkes' pride and joy. He says he has over 1000 azaleas. I'd like to claim that I planted half. Maybe more realsitically 100 or so. I remember spending many Saturdays working in the yard. If we had friends spend-the-night, they worked too. Our house was not popular. And now, me and the kids get to enjoy them for the whole of a week they bloom. They are dead as I type this.

PRETTY! Claire, there is no way you planted half- I did. I had to pay off all the car accidents. BTW- you should get rid of the word verification thing on your comment page- it's super annoying and not really necessary.

Claire and Reba- there is no way you guys planted half b/c I planted half of them!!! :) They sure are pretty for the 48 hours they are in full bloom though!

HAHA about your toot. The other day I was picking up Hazel from the gym daycare and I was sweating my butt off. She said- "Why is there water dripping all on your face?" and I said "Because I'm sweating" and she said "You smell like Herbie." Luckily I was the only one there who knew that Herbie is a DOG!

SO, I just read your comment on my blog. You're SO awesome. And yes, missing family definitely DOES include you!!!! I think all the time how freakin' awesome it would be if we lived by each other. I'd be on Cloud 9! Thanks for your cute words. I LOVE YOU!!!! And I do want to come see you - so hopefully I'll be able to soon.

Claire, I love you term JABER TALKY. I always say that to my baby Cache when he makes cute noises. It was good to see Jessica at Loni's Shower. Your little family is very cute! Keep blogging!
