It’s Hot as Bizalls

Well friends and loved ones, it is officially my favorite season: SUMMER!! Woo to the Hoo indeed!! Blazing sunshine, rising temps, big bugs and even bigger hair have set upon us. And this Southern gal couldn’t be happier.

Or sweaty-er.

Admittedly, the humidity ’round these parts is a major buzz kill. But ya know, if you just adopt a “It’s just like the spa!” attitude in regards to the outdoor sauna that is Eastern North Carolina, then suddenly it’s like nature’s own free facial every day!

Or not. But I’m a glass half full kind of gal.

Anyhoo, as you may recall, Old Man Winter and I do not get along. But Summer? We go waaayyy back and every time she comes back to town, I am so utterly, deliriously happy to see her again. Sing it with me now, reunited and it feels so goo-oodd!

Skillz: We gots ’em

(I will regret this in the morning, but I just had to brag share about our little project.)

So! In honor of Memorial Day, Somanna and I decided to get our Surbanite on and we jumped right into a wee landscaping project. Have we ever done something like this before? Uh, negative Captain. Did we do any official research prior to our small undertaking? Heck, no!

That’s right Baby, we’re wild!

It’s how we roll here in suburbia.

Anyhoo, we decided we could no longer bear the shame that was our mailbox area. Did I mention that we live next door to Mr. Yard of the Year? Because if this site alone didn’t make us feel guilty enough, seeing our neighbor’s landscape masterpiece next door finished the job.
