Fair in the fall

Come to Dillsboro, NC the first weekend in November, every year for the greatest collection of outdoor pottery booths ever! I am unable to attend it this year, so hope some of my friends will carry their cameras and share with me.

Quote for the day:

“To find the universal elements enough; to find the air and the water exhilarating; to be refreshed by a morning walk or an evening saunter; to be thrilled by the stars at night; to be elated over a bird's nest or a wildflower in spring - these are some of the rewards of the simple life.” 

John Burroughs

Reflection and restaurant

What wonderful reflections can be seen here! Weekend Reflections.

My local reflection isn't anywhere near as exciting as London.  But it's pretty to me and I wanted to share it with you.

 Yes, a self portrait, taken about 2 years ago.  Not much different looking.  It is reflection of a lovely dining room in the Jarrett House in Dillsboro, NC.  My friends Pat and Michael said this was the place to eat in Dillsboro.  So we went there, and it is a family restaurant, where everyone eats the same huge menu of sides, but choses one of 5 (I think) meat dishes.  We all were delighted!   (Incidentally, I love having 2-3 pairs of glasses hanging around for whatever needs I might have to focus upon!)

With a holiday weekend here (Memorial Day) we have lots of traffic already hitting the area.  I'm thrilled and hope lots of folks come out for the TailGate Market in Black Mountain from 9-12 on Sat.  (So I'm posting this a little early, just in case you might wish to make plans!)
