Rainy Day Garden and the foxes visit
It has been cooler the past couple of days, and Saturday afternoon brought a nice rain shower. I had gone out to water the hanging baskets and the plants under the eaves when it started. There is something wonderful about sitting on the veranda in the rocking chairs while it is raining. It is a …
Summer Evening Music, car show, and a fun video
Summer heat is beginning to abate, with some early mornings this week in the high 50s, just like autumn! It is a great time to get downtown and enjoy another evening of Music on Main with the car club. This time we took a picnic. I would have loved to use my Farmer's Market Picnic …

Blue Ridge Parkway Progressive Drive
Saturday, the British Car Club got together for a fun drive along the Blue Ridge Parkway. We call it a Progressive Drive, and it is an idea I came up with a few years ago to mix up participants during a drive. When everyone is in two-seater cars, it is hard to get a lot …
Visitors to the Garden
Look who paid us a visit over the weekend! This guy thought he might try to get into the bird feeder, but he wasn't successful. DH and I were on the inside of the sliding glass door, and we banged on the glass every time he looked at the top. The turkeys have returned, and …
Hiking Graveyard Fields
Taking a break from everything is easy here, with the Blue Ridge Parkway just minutes away. It took about 45 minutes to drive up to Graveyard Fields yesterday for a mind-clearing hike. We are so lucky to live where a vacation set of mind is literally a short drive away. We have wanted to hike …
Car Club Drive and Mary Alice’s Garden
Saturday was another perfect day to get together with friends and drive these beautiful mountain roads. We gathered in the parking lot at the new Asheville Outlets. Driving into old Asheville, we encountered tree lined streets with arbor-like avenues. Going up one of the mountains to the east, we stopped to see a beautiful view …
Friday night in a small town, and Books!
Last night was the beginning of a concert series that our small town does every summer. It is called Music on Main, and is free, just bring a chair. Our car club decided to attend the associated car show too, so we all gathered at a local shopping center and drove in together. Music was …
Spring Drive with the Car Club
Saturday was a spectacular day, warm and sunny with lazy clouds drifting around. The car club had planned a drive along the French Broad River and its tributaries, ending at a member's home for a home smoked barbeque dinner with all the fixin's. We met at one of our rural grocery stores, lining up in …
Late April Sunday Drive
We woke up Sunday to a lovely view across the valley just after dawn. Fog in the valley shows the layers of hills and mountains so much better than a clear view. Gradually the fog burned away, and we decided to go for a nice little drive with friends in our little British cars. We …
