Well of course I was paid by owners of Miss Ella cat. But in order to feel very special, I treated myself, and a friend to a cup of fresh coffee and a scone before going home.
My friend happens to work across the street from this sweet locally owned coffee shop. She's the daytime attendant at the Ingles big gas station...in a little office where she sells things like cigars and lottery tickets.
Besides fresh roasted coffee they have scones. I keep trying different flavors, because they always are sold out of my favorite (nuts and cinnamon) by the time I get there!
They are actually in the next little town closer to Asheville, NC - not Black Mountain. Shhh! Swannanoa is unincorporated, and named after the river and the valley in which we all live.
Today's quote:
From our first breath to our last, awe moves us to deepen our relations with the wonders of life and to marvel at the vast mysteries that are part of our fleeting time here, guided by this most human of emotions. |

The coffee bar looks nice, I would like a cinnamon scone. YUM! Take care, have a great new week!
ReplyDeleteI bet you'd get there early enough for the fresh cinnamon scones!
Delete...Dacher Keltner has got it right.
ReplyDeleteI'd love to try some of those scones.
ReplyDeleteI have to go there as a treat only occasionally or I'd be as big as a blimp!
DeleteIt looks like an amenable café, especially with that comfy couch.
ReplyDeleteYou can have the couch...I prefer sitting at a table. Especially with coffee!
DeleteLooks like a lovely place to enjoy a scone and some fresh-roasted coffee. Yum!
ReplyDeleteI got some "robust roast" freshly perked. That was really good coffee. My chocolate cherry scone wasn't as much like a scone...more like cupcake I guess. I'll go back to scones with things added.
DeleteThe place looks nice and inviting. I'd love to have a scone but I would just get a plain one. The place down the road from us have cheese and herb scones, very tasty.
ReplyDeleteA plain one is delicious. Moments has some savory ones, and some with hot spices which I'm not interested in. The ones with berries are pretty good.
DeleteLooks like a pleasant place to linger.
ReplyDeleteI’m sure you’ve seen the shipping containers on trucks. Picture a tractor-trailer. The trailer is one of those containers on a wheeled frame. Very efficient.
A big crane takes them off the ship, puts them on a truck frame. A truck takes them to a train, and another crane lifts it and puts it down on the flat car and it crosses the country to be lifted by another crane and placed on another truck, which takes to a distribution center for a chain of stores.
A scone sounds good.
