Sunset!
What a spectacular view from our balcony!
We drove….
drove….
drove (the back roads!)
through small towns…
don’t eat here…..
or stop for gas here…
and reached the mountains of North Carolina yesterday afternoon. The weather is fabulous but most of the trees look like it’s the dead of winter. I see some forsythia blooming in the landscaping but the mountains are bare!
We took 2 days to get here so that we could enjoy the trip and not be so tired when we arrived. We had some wonderful meals along the way and saw some amazing sites!
This was a carpet of tiny blue flowers. The pecan trees have not leafed out yet! We saw 2 eagles, several hawks, beautiful Spring flowers and blooming trees in Georgia and South Carolina and a couple of things I will save for another post!
The peach trees were in full bloom and the Apple trees had more flowers than I can ever remember seeing in years past.
Hope you are all enjoying your week and have a special weekend.
We’ve been gone for 4 months so I have a lot to do but I hope I can catch up with everyone soon! It’s always fun to be off the computer for a few days and then click on all my favorites to see what’s new!
Ignore the bugs on the windshield…heehee! And would you PLEASE tell me ONE thing that’s NEW with you so that I can get a head start! Talk to you soon! XXXOOOXXX

What a beautiful drive! It doesn't seem like you've been gone for four months to me...but I'm sure it does to you. I can't imagine having two homes. Sounds wonderful and like a lot of work. :)
Still working in my yard. Loving every second of it.
Happy Easter to you and your family.
Getting away is nice but it makes coming home twice as nice. Welcome home.
I have you down for two entries for the giveaway of Hanna and if you get a pic of Hanna on your blog that will give you three.
Thanks

OMG! Your photos are spectacular! What beautiful scenery you've shared.
Your pictures today are gorgeous...my favorites? The ones of the bloomin' orchards! What a lovely country we have to see!
What's new..with me...hmmm, did you know I'm going to become a grandma in late May or early June!? I'm so excited!
Have a wonderful Easter weekend! HE AROSE!

Fabulous photos Diane ... if you weren't driving on the "wrong side of the road", I'd swear those photos were taken in Australia! LOL! Honestly, we have scenes and shops just like that here.
Love that sunset too ... beautiful colours.
Hope you are enjoying your Easter.
Warmest hugs,

Thanks for taking us on the journey too-Beautiful photos. My parents have a home in western N.C.-it sure is pretty.
One thing new with me....Hmmm....I just cleared the Winter out of my backyard. I have planted my summer vegetables and herbs. Looking forward to warmer weather.
It's fun taking a road trip with you. What beautiful country. Pecan tree's, I've never seen one in my life! What's new with me, I've just started Gnomes Ahoy, my April give away...look back to the first post, which is today, April 2nd.
Wishing you a happy and blessed Easter xx Gypsy Purple

I came to visit you from Q - I so enjoyed your drive through small-town springtime. I live in CO, so I'm still seeing plenty of white, and it's not on trees! Enjoy your weekend.
Oh my goodness, what a treat for the eyes over here. Thank you so much for taking us along. I can't get over all those beautiful blossoms.
Have a wonderful Easter.
