Going some new places (to me) in Black Mountain

 

As we sat munching delicious Reuben sandwiches, this overview of the Black Mountain Golf Course was on the wall above us. 

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.

We drove down Old 70, and took a turn into Givens Highland Farms. This is one entrance, and we found quite a lot of construction going on. More places for seniors to live. I'm surprised they don't have a traffic light yet...but maybe there aren't that many who drive.

The back of the Monte Vista Hotel, showing the new wing that's been built.

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's quote:

A teacher comes, they say, when you are ready. And if you ignore its presence, it will speak to you more loudly. But you have to be quiet to hear.
