rainy north carolina

I'm back from my 1200 mile whirlwind tour of North Carolina and Virginia.

It was great to visit my older brother's new home for the first time.

My nephew was away at camp but his dog Joey was a great cuddle bug!

D is safely back in Florida...the apartment is quiet.

There was a lot of rain but that didn't deter the hummingbirds.

Such a beautiful countryside all lush and green.

The farmers' market was busy on Saturday morning 

and I picked up some delicious honey.

Letters need to be written and packages sent...so much to do before

I leave on a business trip to Chicago next week!

North Carolina Sky

Every morning began with thick fog that covered the ground 

with dew so heavy you thought it had rained overnight.

By 8:00 am most had burned off to reveal a bright blue sky, 

the benefit of being far from a major city.

Come evening the clouds would boil with color before 

again settling down over the hills for the night.
