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?

Weather rules

Though there have been a couple of days of sunshine, there's rain in the forecast at the end of the week. Take a deep breath.  Do you get the petrichor? I hope so.  It's better than the artificially dried and warmed air of our homes these days...though I do hope you are keeping warm and dry in your shelter... I think there's a variation of petrichor that happens on concrete...like sidewalks.  What do you think?

  1. I hadn't heard the term before.

    Here we're pretty much in snowy conditions for the foreseeable future.

  3. I love that word! I've always enjoyed the smell and was delighted to discover the word a few years ago.

So glad to have your comments...whatever they may be. I'm one who likes to reply sometime or another, so others will see that; or you might happen back sometime and see what conversation might have started.
