The nights were cool and the days were delightfully sunny in the mountains of North Carolina.
Welcome, y'all and Happy Wednesday! Mr. Pinker and I are back from our trip; though it was not a vacation for Mr. Pinker for he was working in the depths of the forest. We were camped on private property in a secluded area. The gate to the property was opened for us by the afternoon. We made our way down the old dirt road until we found the perfect spot nestled among the trees . Within that small clearing was a pond.
 |
| Along the banks of the pond were small bunches of Touch Me Knots in bloom. |
 |
We backed Big Red with the ole' rickety truck camper to where a glorious dock extended out into the waters. The first night was spent setting up camp before we had to go to bed. Mr. Pinker had to wake up at the break of dawn.
The next day, I lounged outside listening to the birds and watching the butterflies flutter here and there. Of course I whispered, "I love you" to each passing butterfly in hopes that they would send the message to Heaven to my loved ones. Have you ever heard that saying?  |
| Purple Ironweed is in bloom! I just love this late summer bloom. |

| The sumac was filled with crimson berries. |
As Always...
Happy Stitching and Quilting, y'all
