Happy Earth Day to Us


I'm more than a week late posting our big Flat Top news: On Earth Day we ordered our solar panel system. Trust me, this is very exciting! As soon as it's set up, the only time we'll have to run a generator is to refill the water tank. Stay tuned for photos and tales of our adventures getting the thing installed and wired properly. Or more accurately, Mason's adventures.

Meanwhile, signs of spring continue to pop up around here. These dwarf irises, above, grow wild around here near the creeks -- and some somehow found their way into one of my flower beds. My cheap little Home Depot azaleas (purchased long before my new gig at The Barn Nursery) continue to hang on, and the grass I seeded about two weeks ago is finally peeking up out of the soil.

Congo azalea
Encore azalea
Not sure what these are. Clipped them from a tree alongside our dirt road.

  1. Solar panels, whoohoo! Y'all have been working hard! Love all the azaelas (sp??) and that you're "working" at a garden center. Thought of you, Mason and Nick the Dog this Derby weekend.
