We finally took the time to stop at Whitewater Falls on our way home. The falls, which drop 411 feet, are breathtaking. The top part of the falls are in North Carolina and the bottom are in South Carolina. Absolutely beautiful with the Fall colors!

Fall Color and the Blue Ridge Parkway
We went up to the Blue Ridge Parkway to see if we could find some Fall color. Much of it high up was gone, but we were able to find some. We came home with the plan that we would go back up to the Parkway to try and catch a good sunset. The best …
What a difference 2 hours makes!
We decided to go to BG to get some Fall color. I think the trees have already hit their peak, but there’s still some pretty color. This picture was taken about 10:45 a.m.Two hours later, this is what we’re looking at.

A Taste of Honey
When we got home I decided to go check out our dahlias. One bush of dahlias had a good amount of bees on the flowers. But they weren’t moving. Tommy said he thought they were dead. But, I touched one of the bee’s legs and it moved a bit. Can bees get drunk on pollen?This …
