Four Sisters Bakery behind the Red Rocker Inn

 The Red Rocker Inn is a popular B&B on Doughery St. in Black Mountain. They have a dining room behind the glass windows of a porch on the right...





Driving behind it is this interesting building. Not sure if it's also rooms to rent, or housing for the owners...or?

I was attracted to the old garage doors, and the pretty petunias.

A hot morning to be in the sun. And I see a fire pit way off in the distance...maybe for much cooler times of year.

I was happy to meet 4 month old "Fish" That's his name!

When Fish's parents left with a huge box of bakery goodies, the table invited more guests.

After a Catbird and a few sparrows checked it out, we were happy to see Mr. Cardinal. We were busy eating our bakery goodies, but took a few shots of this lovely guy.


I tired enticing more avian visitors with a crumb of my croissant on the railing, but alas, nobody took the bait before we left.

    It looks charming, but I agree that it seems to want a somewhat cooler day.

      Sometimes our mornings don't heat up till 11. With yesterday's rain I imagine the humidity is right up there! Thank goodness I can close windows. The fire pit? Not my style.

    What a beautiful place, the baked goods are a bonus. The dog named Fish is a cutie.
    Take care, have a happy day and happy weekend!

      Fish was very well behaved. Another something-doodle that I know hasn't learned a thing and jumps up on evreryone.

      It was a surprise, and our phone cameras started clicking away.

    I guess it would be. I tend to prefer motels.

    A lovely spot to stop and relax. Your cardinals are stunning birds.

      Thanks. I am limited by using a phone camera. But the ease of just picking it out of my purse...can't be beat!

    Just lovely, Barb. I would love to stay there some day. And a bakery! Oh yes, my kind of place.

      It is hidden away, but lots of us have been giving them business regularly.
