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?

Oh yes, the flags were out on Monday

We're having a downtown block party tonight in Black Mountain NC, with food trucks and music and dancing (and a huge parking problem) and of course a great fireworks show.

And I posted a week ago wondering when the decorations would be out.  So then I kept looking and carting around my iPhone (it's really got an umbilical cord to me by now!






Monday the flags were there.  The photos were taken, and then I worked on my pottery, and other things I do, and I forgot to show you here! (Head bowed in embarrassment...a pose I'm very familiar with.)  And I forget more and more things...like last night I forgot to go to the studio completely.  Oh dear, maybe this is how my life will be from now on.  I did remember at 9:30 pm that I had a free coupon for $8 to use at the local drug store. I wondered if it was still open, since the "free bucks" expired yesterday.  So I quickly drove the 1/4 mile to it and purchased cashews and chocolate, a treat thanks to my being a good customer (and getting all those prescriptions filled there!) I also discovered it's been ages since I've driven at night! Partly because the sun doesn't go down very early these days.

    I prefer driving in daytime so that's a great adventure of summer.

    The key is that you remember what you've forgotten. I tell myself this.
