I wanted to "recharge my batteries" last weekend, and did:
Two mallard ducks hung out in this section of the Hiwassee River all weekend. There they go, on Saturday morning, sailing down the river. (You can't really see them - they are blending in with the current up ahead.) They would fly back and settle in on the rocks and then sail down the river again.
My sister's late mother-in-law, Grace, loved this place and left her mark on it. I snapped a photo from my car window of the iris, blooming by the driveway, on my way out on Sunday. It's a lovely legacy.
This shop in nearby Brasstown, North Carolina, was closed on Sunday (I pressed my nose against the windows and dreamed of going inside.) I loved this banner out front, incorporated into a cacophony of rosemary and flowers.
