I waited till the roads were clear, and indeed we'd had a night and a new day before I made it to Flat Creek.
I only walked on the areas with stone paths, or the driveway with some stones, since there was a lot of mud (what happens when snow melts!)
There were also many places where snow remained. And it was a good 10 degrees colder next to the creek.
Melted snow doesn't make for many artistic photos, but I liked this little fern that somehow is still green.
The little bridge crossing the creek has new railings from this last year. It was more picturesque when it had Rhododendron branches for railings.
Down the road to the left is a maintenance yard where various trucks are parked.
The calm water from where I was standing across the creek to the flat part of the bank represents a ford which trucks go across regularly. Many of them help keep the roads clear in Montreat NC.
The Nitroglycerin that I carry with me at all times...to remind me of my heart attack and that I might have another one that hurts worse than the first one. I may very well have another heart attack...so I know some things I can change...like going for more walks, and eating a plant-based diet, and losing some weight! Some are harder to do than others!
Today's quote:
In both mysticism and physics, there is general agreement that ‘things’ are constructed by our nervous systems and that ‘realities’ (plural) are better described as systems or bundles of energy functions.
—Robert Anton Wilson
