Update about blogCa

Who knew all this would happen afterwards! Dawn shows the ridge on the other side of Swannanoa Valley, Nov. 1, 2025. The ridge is so high it makes me feel safe. I can also see cars zoom past on I-40 in one gap in the trees.

From Black Mountain to Swannanoa

by Van Gogh



Once a week the food bank brings produce, bread, and eggs to distribute to the senior residents at Blue Ridge Apartments. Many of them don't drive. It's quite an occasion to line up and socialize, especially in good weather.

Over at Lake Tomahawk...


Did you know North Carolina's state flag has dates on it for a declaration of independence prior to the US one? 

Wikipedia says: It bears the dates of the Mecklenburg Declaration of Independence (May 20, 1775) and of the Halifax Resolves (April 12, 1776), documents that place North Carolina at the forefront of the American independence movement.

The pool is shrouded for the winter, while the construction project on the house in the background seems to go on and on. I wonder when they'll have the exterior finish put in place!

A rainy day to share an Americano and meet a friend at the Dripolator.



We were lucky to get a table.

The following shots are of simple homes in Swannaoa.


Grovemont Park is a great gathering place for the community.




My friend Judy lives in this nice little house.

Sharing with "Almost" wordless Wednesday on Tuesday!

    Having seen Hautes Vienne in a hot August..I know that Arles is further South... Vincent van Gogh captured the light..and the house.. perfectly. I like Judy's house too!
    I'm surprised that the food bank has to distribute to seniors? It is good that you have good places to gather
