My daughter, Andrea, and I decided to drive the Blue Ridge Parkway from Asheville to Blowing Rock, NC. It turned out to be an eventful drive as we climbed much higher in elevation than we expected. We also spent some time at the Blue Ridge Parkway Visitor Center at the wonderful museum there. Then, we saw some “white stuff” along the side of the road venturing up into the stunted trees at about 6,000 elevation. Enjoy some of our photos and then plan to visit this National Park someday soon!

Snow!

We awoke to a very rainy and chilly day, so we were glad that our plans were under the roofs of the WNC Agricultural Center for the SAFF presentation in Fletcher, NC, near Asheville. There is such great variety here! Take a look at what my camera saw! After a brief respite at the condo, we are off to the Mast General Store, a glass art studio, and a delicious dinner somewhere. Rain has subsided! More later.
