Update about blogCa

Who knew all this would happen afterwards! Flat Creek in November, 2024. Much changed by the force of the hurricane floods in Sept. 2024. The deck of the bridge is now under that pile of debris.

Way down upon the Swannanoa River

 

Ice and snow melt, as well as springs in the mountains, feed the Swannanoa River.

There are some new sandy banks here by the river. Someone probably trucked in a few loads to add some height here where the bench can be found.


This nice area is next to one of the paths in our recreation area of Veterans park, a greenway and community gardens.

  1. ...this looks like a river that is prone to flooding. Fabulous quote!

  2. Can't even see any ground here. We are getting more snow now as I write - another 3 inches at least. I'm enjoying the snow after being snow starved in Maryland for many years.

  4. I hope Joe is right. Too many crazies still mouthing off and making the rest of us look like idiots.

    1. Fortunately I find mainly the crazies still look like idiots, and many are staying sane in their presence.

    1. I didn't sit that day...perhaps a bit too chilly. It will be pretty to see as greenery returns to the woods.

    1. Thanks...I love seeing the snow on the mountains, and it looks like more is coming tomorrow night. Yes, I like walking around water...better than walking in a mall, shudder.

  7. Here we're covered in snow. I took a long walk today through it.

    1. I haven't had the snow walks that I do have good snow weather clothing left over from living in New England...or maybe replicas from more recent purchases on line. I would love to walk in snow. Lots of our snow gets rained on as it leaves, which just leaves a muddy mess.
