Last week, we packed up the car and headed north to Ohio for My Sweet Babboo to see a classic car show in Columbus. We have friends that live there, and his brother is also there, so we could see the show and do a bit of visiting too. It was fun to drive on …

Sunday Chat
With the summer winding down, I usually bring out my August placemats and table topper for a new tablescape. This year I haven't been motivated to set a nice table, other than just the basics for me and My Sweet Babboo. So, maybe you'd like to see a couple of past tables with these patchwork …
August Car Club Fun
We've had several drives in our beautiful mountains in the past few days. Although the weather is too warm for me in the afternoons, the mornings have been delightful. On this day, we gathered with our Appalachian Mountain MINI group in west Asheville for a nice drive and lunch. The route took us past lovely …
Sunday Chat, Quilting, Gardens and more
Here we are, the beginning of August, the dog days. It has been way too hot for my taste lately, but there is a cool down in the forecast for this coming week, and I hope it is real. Oliver and Charlie came by for a sandwich more than one day. Oliver seems to be …
Fun Drive in the Mountains
Last weekend, we had a summer fun run with one of our car clubs. This club is primarily old British cars, and the turnout was fantastic. It was apparent that everyone had a serious case of cabin fever. We met in Etowah, a very small community west of Hendersonville. Yes, those are two yellow Jaguars, …
Sunday Chat
It was a week of flitting from project to project. Somehow my concentration was a bit off. Early mornings were cool, but the days warmed up fast to hot and humid. On the bird feeder this week, a mom cardinal brought her son. You can see he is almost done molting his baby feathers and …
Sunday Chat with a Lemon Tablescape
Last weekend, we had our neighbors up for a cookout. I had thought to just leave up my July 4th tablescape, but that holiday was over, and it seemed that a summer theme was in order. So I put my blue and yellow table topper back on the table and added a yellow ceramic basket …

On the veranda, look who is back! The wren couple have build another nest in a little metal bucket. I felt so bad for them when something got their eggs a couple of weeks ago. Maybe they will be able to raise a family this time. I hope their nest is high enough so no …
Fun on the Fourth
Last weekend was a fun holiday weekend with lots of activities. We started the weekend at Mountain Fresh Orchards on Saturday, having lunch with our friend, Jeff. He had a booth there with his wonderful pottery, and I think he made this green bowl just to tempt me. It is a cereal bowl size and …
Fun Run to Strawberry Hill
With summer in full swing, car club events are more frequent. We are enjoying our warm days, abundant sunshine and not too hot temps in the mountains. We met early at a visitor center on the Blue Ridge Parkway for a nice drive though some back roads down to South Carolina. There were so many …
