Fall color came into its peak at our place this past week, and was gone just as quickly. Early one morning, as the sun came up over the mountain to the east, the oranges and golds were glowing in the light. The colors were beautiful down the driveway and around the street. Gracie, our resident …

November Chat
November is showing off its colors in our area as we hit the peak this past week. Beautiful russet and gold adorns the view from our veranda. The colors are not as vivid as they have been in the past. Mainly this year was too dry in the late summer, and the winds picked up …

Mural and Street Art
It is wonderful to live in an area with a strong artistic community. This year, a new art mural was completed in Hendersonville to bring attention to our pollinators and their importance to our ecosystem.
