I’ll just leave it at that. :( Well, I will share several pictures from the last couple of days. A morning view from our deck: We went to town to pick up a few things and came back by way of Hwy. 276 and the Blue Ridge Parkway. This is the English Chapel that is …

I Love This Country
Tommy and I realize that we are fortunate enough to take time to travel back roads of this wonderful country. It’s amazing what you find when you get off of the interstates. Even when we drive some of the same roads we find new and different things to see. People are just so darn creative. …
Autumn = Color
The deck you see here is off of our bedroom, so you can get a glimpse of our view: Part of our drive up to the Blue Ridge Parkway: One of my favorite shacks. :) I took a picture of this last May for a Moment in Time. Down the road just a bit …
Ahhhhh……Autumn!
What a beautiful time of year. This is probably my favorite time of year, but I know I say the same thing when Spring rolls around.
We have a winner!

The dahlias have revived!
Thanks to the cooler weather, some of our dahlia plants have revived. This one in particular is prettier than I’ve seen it all year. After taking pictures of the dahlias I walked around back to the garden and found this: Tommy’s picking butter peas—YUMMY!
Another Drive = More Pictures
Almost every time we’re in NC, Tommy and I take one day (or part of one) to go for a drive. Since we’ve traveled the same roads so many times in the past, we decided to try a different route last week. Here are a few pictures from that drive. And this is what we …
Stylin!
Here’s one of my favorite photos I found while scanning the old, old slides I received recently. My mother was a great seamstress and always had my sister and I dressed beautifully for special occasions. I believe this was an Easter dress and my sister had the same dress in a different (possibly pink?) color. …
I have no idea what this is…
but I love the colors! After I posted this and went outside to take some more pictures, Tommy found this in our Wildflowers of North Carolina book. It’s name is Hearts-a-Bustin. I can see that, can you? Here are a few other pictures I took while I was outside: Milkweed–there’s a bunch of this here …
