Some homes in old Black Mountain

 


Yes, the weeping cherry trees were still in bloom that week.

I don't know what this pretty pink bush was.

The first glance at a budding azalea. It looks pretty old with many prunings.

Cat sitting

A lovely drive up to the house where Miss Cat lives. Friends decided to go to FL to see her sister, so they asked me to drop by twice a day to feed Miss Ella Cat. I've done this before for them when they had 2 cats.

Anyway, here are some photos I snapped last night on the drive up the mountain in Swannanoa.

A lovely variety of Azalea - at first I thought Rhododendron because of the color...but the leaves are wrong.


Two views of a bit of a mansion, with lots of landscaping all around.


Next house up the slope is also well landscaped and architect designed.

View of same house through windshield as I left the next morning. That sounds like I spent the night, but I went up and down the mountain each time!


First view of my friends house...he is an architect so designed it himself.

Finally at my destination. 

Cat hasn't come out from under the covers on the bed yet. But yesterday she ate all her food. I'm thinking she must be nocturnal. We shall see tomorrow.


I did peek under these covers to make sure she was alright. She looked back at me. Eye contact made!
