Saying Goodbye…part 2- Adele and Craigies

We have been saying hello and goodbye to family as we travel the past 14 years...you would think it gets easier but it never does.

This past month we have enjoyed staying at Sicksta Adele and Craigys home nestled into the side yard between two hickory nut trees.

Nice and lush..

 

This was the home eleven years ago.

Sand for lawn.

Adele works at Big Bloomers Flower farm..

She brought in earth and used reclaimed rain water to get her garden started.

 

This year it looks like this!

 

 

 

Jackie boy wants to go outside..

 

Inside the front garden

 

 

 

 

View of the home from the circular drive.

As you can see Sicksta Adele hates gardening..

One year Sicksta Adele made this patio using a concrete mixture and forming it into the shapes of rocks or pavers.

There are no rocks here in the Sand hills of NC.

Here is the view from her circular drive looking east..

 

And here we look west…

 

Back in the yard again looking at the house and Homey and garden patio in between.

 

 

We set out chairs to relax and look at the bird feeders.

Lets walk around the other side of the house..

And into the back yard..

 

Past the old shed that will probably collapse in a few more years..

Termites got to it..

Looking from the back yard toward the house..

There is an above ground pool that you cant see in my photos.

 

 

Now we are back in the front side yard..Lets check out what's blooming

 

Ole Blue truck is still around…

I found two four leaved clovers

The field next to the house..

Its for sale.

 

 

 

 

Fairly Garden on the porch.

 

Yep…it’s a lovely magical place isn't it?

Here we are with out slides in…ready to head north.

Yeah…

Its always hard saying goodbye..
