Sunday Chat – Wildlife and Car Show

Our driveway has become a feast for the critters, as ripening acorns are falling everywhere. The deer and turkeys love to come by and graze on the bounty. This gal came by on a rainy day, and I got her photo through the window. A couple of days later, this pair came to graze. The …

Summer in the Mountains

Summer has arrived, and with it comes activity with our car clubs. This past week, the British car club held a drive up to the Blue Ridge Parkway with lunch at the Pisgah Inn. Stopping at an overlook on the way home, we couldn't resist getting a photo of our MINI with the mountains in …

Sunday Chat – Peach Blossoms

The week we had a great day to do a drive down to South Carolina to see the peach trees in bloom. They bloom in mid-March most years, with some varieties blooming a bit later. The day was supposed to be warm enough to put the top down on the roadster, and we met up …

Sunday Garden and a Drive

It has been really hot everywhere, and seems like we will have more days in the 90s this year than ever before. I hate this heat, it just makes me miserable. When it gets above 78 degrees F (25 C), I am ready for it to cool down. I am happiest when the temps are …

Autumn In the Mountains Car Show

This past weekend was our annual car show for the British Car Club. The day began foggy and cool, and cars were arriving early. It was apparent that the cancellation of shows last spring and many over the summer have left our car loving public desperate for some four wheel fun. By the time registration …

Spring Sunday Drive

The British Car Club drive for Saturday was postponed to Sunday due to rain, so we were able to have a nice sunny day for a drive in the mountains. We met at a parking lot in Brevard to get everyone together. It was a later start, so we could have some much needed social …

March Madness Drive

Cabin fever has caught hold in all our car clubs, and with the warming weather, more drives are happening. The first one of the season for the British Car Club had us meeting in west Asheville for a drive north. That's our red MINI on the left. It counts as British for this club, and …

Cruisin’ on a Spring Day

Last weekend, our car club decided it couldn't wait another week to get the cars out for a drive, in spite of the chilly morning.  The idea was to drive around the apple orchards, but it was too early for blooms.  Still, the excuse was good, so we gathered at a local parking lot to …

Mountain Living – Panthers, Cars and Fiber Art

August has had lots of fun things to do, so much that I can't get to it all to talk about on the blog. Settle in for a long and picture heavy post!  The highlight of the month so far was a trip down to Spartanburg for a day to see the Panther's at their …
