Saturday had beautiful weather for our second drive of the season with the car club. This one was special, as it was a benefit for the local humane society. Everyone who knows me knows I am an absolute sucker for a terrier face. Any dog face, really, I just love them all. When the local …

First Drive of the Season
Warmer weather has come, and we eagerly anticipated the first drive of the season with our car club yesterday. We weren't the only ones, seems like a lot of members had cabin fever, and were glad to get the cars out. That is our blue TVR on the left. We met up at a parking …
Blue Ridge Drive
DH and I will be leading a drive for the car club in a couple of weeks, so we needed to drive the route ahead of time to be sure it is still a good route. Roads have a way of closing when you aren't prepared from winter rock slides. So, we got on the …
An Early Spring?
Mountain living in winter is usually not the time to see a lot of wildlife, so imagine my surprise in the middle of winter to see this sight in our lower meadow! A sizable flock of robins was stopping by for a visit. Get ready for a picture heavy post with lots of wildlife. Usually …
Scrappy Project part 2
This morning, the sun is shining on the snow, but I am still not going anywhere. Here is the driveway with about 4 inches of snow left. Nope, not going anywhere until more melting takes place. The sun should make the road passable by late afternoon today, but too late to go to work. Snow …
Making a Meal for our Feathered Friends
Winter finally arrived with some really chilly temperatures and snow! This morning the total is approaching a foot, and it is still coming down.

Autumn Drive on the Blue Ridge Parkway
Last Saturday was our car club's costume drive, and we had an absolute blast. Our club met up in Asheville, lots of us in funny costumes. We had a great turnout of cars and members. Driving on the Blue Ridge Parkway was just surreal, the colors were so vibrant. I kept snapping off photos as …
Autumn 2015 October views
Autumn is coming late this year, there is still a lot of green left on the trees. A couple of storms have blown leaves off the trees up the mountain while others are just beginning to turn. Several nights in the 30s lately have encouraged a few to show some brilliant color. There are a …
October Garden and more visitors
The leaves are still lagging behind in color, but a few places are starting to show the promise of a glorious autumn. This single tree, a maple, behind our house has turned completely red, while the others around it are just biding their time still green. Out front, the redbud tree is starting a golden …
