Waterlines almost finished, spring botany
Monday May 12 2008
I hope everyone had a good Mother’s Day yesterday. We were treated by some wild weather, strong winds, and amazing lightening. Sitting on Mr. Harris’s porch after a lovely Mother’s Day dinner of fresh peas and spinach with my mom and Wayne we watched the storm come up the river. Vandemere got bypassed but driving home about 8pm to Oriental was a little exciting with lightening streaking accross the sky and heavy rain. We parked along the waterfront for a few minutes and watched as strike after strike hit the waters of Pamlico Sound. It was quiet beautiful, but having been at anchor during storms like this it gave me the ‘hebegeebees’.
Seems as though I forgot to hit publish for last week’s blog. In any case, we’ve gotten one more week of good work done on the water lines. As of today they are almost completed. Its beginning to look like a community now, with the little fire hydrants dotting our streets. Power comes next, although the start date hasn’t been nailed down as of yet. When you have really great contractors the construction process goes very quickly and with few problems. This process has by far been the easiest of the whole project and I’d like to thank Mr. Cayton and Mr. Hardy for doing an excellent job.
Vandemere Botany:
I spotted some nice St. John’s Wort in bloomb along lot 26. Hypericum sp.
This is a common wildflower, some might eve call weed. But in my view if it looks good in a boquet, its worth keeping.
Daisy fleabane Erigeron annuus.
