Rambles: Happy Birthday, Elvis!

http://vickierambles.blogspot.com/2010/01/happy-birthday-elvis.html

Friday, January 8, 2010. Happy Birthday, Elvis! It's hard to believe Elvis would be 75 years old if he'd lived. I think he'll always be 30-something to me. To say I had a huge crush on Elvis would be a huge understatement and many of my teenage dreams starred this handsome man. Happy birthday, Elvis. Subscribe to: Post Comments (Atom).

Rambles: November 2009

http://vickierambles.blogspot.com/2009_11_01_archive.html

Monday, November 30, 2009. Hubby and I spent Thanksgiving week on the Outer Banks of North Carolina . . . specifically in a secluded soundfront cottage by the name of Cat's Meow in the village of Frisco. The time away was desperately needed, as it had been three years, I believe, since our last vacation. Twas a peaceful week of napping, eating, hot-tubbing and shopping. Below are a few pictures. Our cottage in the trees . this is the sound side. Cape Hatteras Lighthouse- not a level shot, is it?

Rambles: August 2009

http://vickierambles.blogspot.com/2009_08_01_archive.html

Sunday, August 30, 2009. Wandering on a Sunday Morning. My camera and I wandered a while this morning, looking for - and finding! I'll try to post another photograph below - of the portion of the plant with the fully exposed berries. In the meantime, get outside and see what surprises you can find! Saturday, August 29, 2009. An August afternoon in North Carolina - it's supposed. Thursday, August 27, 2009. Tell you what if I were still a smoker, I'd be outside puffing away right now. WHAT A DAY! The World...

Rambles: September 2009

http://vickierambles.blogspot.com/2009_09_01_archive.html

Wednesday, September 23, 2009. Mount Pilot, as Andy Would Say . If the sky is clear and you know where to look, you can see Pilot Mountain from this spot on our road. If you ever watched The Andy Griffith Show, you'll recall the characters talking about "going to Mount Pilot." Well, there you are. I digress (somewhat often). Very nice, so peaceful. Next day two very large mowing monsters leveled this lovely field. Why? Tuesday, September 22, 2009. Lifted it just far enough for a brief airlift. Just a...

Rambles: Snow!

http://vickierambles.blogspot.com/2009/12/snow.html

Friday, December 18, 2009. Wowmy mother used to love to watch the snow and, as my husband reminded me, so do I. It's a rare treat to get a pretty snow. Umno, we didn't have blue snow. I did something in the editing process. No idea WHAT I did or how to fix it. Tsk. My car, parked beside the old house on our property. Our front yard - I took this from our front porch. To heck with all that wet stuff - let's relax by the fire! It looks so peaceful from your front porch. December 18, 2009 at 7:39 PM.

Rambles: August 2010

http://vickierambles.blogspot.com/2010_08_01_archive.html

Saturday, August 7, 2010. Where'd the Time Go? From the dead of winter to the dog days of summer (what the heck does that mean, anyway? I've not felt overly inspired these past months. Today I'm at work on an assignment for a course I'm taking (writing for magazines). The article is about journaling which, of course, led me to online journaling a/k/a web logs a/k/a blogs. One thing naturally led to another and here I am, jabbering away about nothing. Subscribe to: Posts (Atom). A Bushel and a Peck.

Rambles: Hope - My Word for 2010

http://vickierambles.blogspot.com/2010/01/hope-my-word-for-2010.html

Friday, January 1, 2010. Hope - My Word for 2010. January 1, 2010 began quietly in Yadkin County- wrapped in a blanket of fog. The fog burned away by mid-morning, revealing a Carolina blue sky accented with occasional cottonball clouds. A new year has almost always inspired me to do more or less of this, be better at that, etc., etc., and this hours-old 2010 is no exception. In fact, there would need to be 48 hours in each day to accomplish all that I want to do. Hope- what a nice way to start a new year.

Rambles: Trees...Waiting for the Next Season

http://vickierambles.blogspot.com/2010/01/treeswaiting-for-next-season.html

Sunday, January 17, 2010. TreesWaiting for the Next Season. We are blessed to live in the middle of acres and acres of wonderful trees, some deciduous, some conifers. If trees could tell us stories.just imagine! Why not plant a tree or two this spring, maybe ones that will provide shade for you on a summer afternoon. A lounge chair, a book, a little shade from a nice tree.priceless. I love reading your rambles. Thanks for sharing. January 17, 2010 at 7:17 PM. Best bones shot Ive ever seen.

http://vickierambles.blogspot.com/2009/12/brief-escape-part-2.html

Tuesday, December 1, 2009. Brief Escape - Part 2. Here are a few more pictures from our Outer Banks trip last week. Polly wanna - oh, wait, I'm not a parrot. Eastern view of the sound. I think I already posted this one. The screened-in porch where the hot tub lives. The Frisco Pier isn't faring so well.and is closed now. A dune (no, really? Lovely, isn't it? The marina near the ferry from Hatteras Village to Ocracoke. Nice little "boat," huh? How to avoid adding to the landfill! A Bushel and a Peck.
