I'd been invited to try the Green Tea Room, the restaurant at the golf course. Nice sandwiches, but too windy that day to sit on the terrace.
The Black Mountain Library waiting for the dogwoods to bloom still.
These are just the first shots of cherry trees. A lot of them are very pale this year. I remember much brighter pink blossoms. Is this a trend?
I'll keep looking...
And remember these were taken the Saturday before a freeze on Mon. night.
Today is:
Good Friday
Mom and Pop businesses day
Sharing with Skywatch Friday

...it's good to get out and about.
ReplyDeleteI did such again today, with a homebound friend also.
DeleteA nice outing the trees along the road look beautiful. Take care, enjoy your day and have a happy weekend.
ReplyDeleteThanks, I'll be seeing you with a critter or two tomorrow. Glad you enjoyed our jaunt today!
DeleteIt's a good time of year to explore new roads, especially when you can come back home afterward.
ReplyDeleteThere is definitely joy in coming home. And exploration is in my blood. A sunny day and a tank of gas in the car are all it takes, but when as friend has been housebound for weeks, that really gives me the final nudge.
DeleteI enjoyed the tour you took us on. I think we are a little ahead of you on spring.
ReplyDeleteThat's great, to know you have some blooms and blossoms earlier!
DeleteNice little tour. I like that quote too.
ReplyDeleteYes, sometimes we forget to just listen!
DeleteVery nice pictures.
ReplyDeleteThanks for visiting. Glad you enjoyed them.
DeleteCool shots! I noticed that up here in the far north...the cherry blossoms are also whiter than in the past. Ours are blooming earlier as well.
ReplyDeleteI wonder how long it will be before golf courses are overtaken by nature- soon, I hope!

It has been strange, some cherry trees have the pink and some don't.
DeleteNice to see new places. I love your beautiful blue skies!
ReplyDeleteIt's wonderful that I can go driving around and catching sight of those great blue skies!
DeleteBeautiful day, beautiful scenery, beautiful sky.
