Black Mountain

The greening of the mountains from Tanbark Ridge overlook, elevation 3175 feet, Blue Ridge Parkway, North Carolina. The road seen in upper left is the parkway as it continues northeast. Can you see the little houses, including my favorite, the red roofed one?

botanist 1794

In front of one of our favorite coffee shops in Black Mountain, is a historic marker.  I doubt that anyone ever hears about Andre' Michaux in their education other than this sign.

    Boy, do I agree with his quote! The other night, my daughter in law showed me something on Youtube that I laughed at harder than I have laughed in twenty years...I was laughing so hard, nothing was coming out of my mouth for at least 5 minutes....tears coming out of my eyes...then I realized my chest actually hurt....like my heart was going to pop out...and even that was funny. I think it's been so long since I laughed like that...that it gave my heart to much excercise!
