Update about blogCa

I-40 picked up the old Rte. 66 somewhere along the way, maybe Little Rock, maybe Oklahoma City. But it is the 100th anniversary of Rte 66 so I enjoyed thinking about my parents driving on part Of it in. St. Louis at least. Here we continued from Santa Rosita to Gallup NM, then left both highways to go north to CO.

Community Gardens May 2021

 

The Town of Black Mountain sent out a notice that some of the Frisbee Golf Course would be closed while they work on something on the Swannanoa River, until sometime in August. The woman closest to me was playing her own round with frisbees. I don't know about the person in the distance. The car and truck are on I-40, a bit further away.

The Dr. John Wilson Community Garden.

Many plots!





I'm pretty sure these are raspberry blossoms. I've tried clearing some of those canes when they intruded through my chain link fence once...many thorns!






I wasn't sure what these pretty purple flowers were. You're probably used to my ignorance by now.

Another purple bloom which eludes me. These were in rows under some other kind of plants which will hang from some wires.



Today's quote:

Caregiving often calls us to lean into love we didn’t know possible.

  4. The second purple ones with the "hairy" leaves look like my aubergine plants.

Thanks for commenting! I tried moderating, thinking that would be a quicker way to check on comments, but actually it takes more time. So go ahead and talk amongst yourselves, and I'll check in when I can!!
