Autumn In The Mountains Car Show
Yesterday was our big event for the British Car Club, our annual Autumn In The Mountains car show. It is the last big event for me for a busy September. I am president of this club, so the workload for me was increased this year. Our car is the one on the right, a TVR. …
Last of the Garden
The days are not quite so hot, and the nights are definitely getting cooler, so the garden is winding down. The torenias will continue to bloom well into October, but they are starting to look a little leggy. The silver pot on the porch below is the amaryllis that rebloomed last winter.

Visitors to the Garden

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 …
Snow Day! Time to Quilt!
After missing work most of last week, I got up this morning to this. The picture looks white all over because it is still lightly snowing. Not good news, as the schedule was slammed this week because of all the snow last week. Oh well, what to do but accept the fact that I am …
