Lovely day, enchanted and walk about

There was another visit to the river house last weekend, and this was the view on Friday afternoon when I drove in - the Friday Market in the town square.  I couldn't wait to get my stuff in the house so I could come back here and peacefully mingle.

My only real task was choosing a new hanging plant to take back home, and I found it at an enchanted plant nursery, which was completely off the beaten path.

The delightful lady who helped me pick this out said it is a dipladenia, here in it's temporary parking place by the river, until I took my leave on Monday.  In a true Good Things Happened moment, she tucked it away in the back seat of my car, and said to it, "Now you behave on your trip home."  I thought she was talking to me at first.  :)

The river was beautiful on Sunday morning, so I walked around the banks of the Hiwassee River a bit.  I flushed out a phantom egret that we see now and then.  We both startled each other and then it flapped away south.

My internet is down at home (since last week), so I am not able to visit blogs as much as usual.  Waiting for a technician to visit and things will be back to normal soon, I hope.

Isn't horrible when the internet is down? I hope they sort it out quickly for you.

So did you behave in the car on the way home?

I think it's safe to say that you love green growing things as much as I do. :-)

Looks like a wonderful day and a new plant too. Internet woes can affect us all at one time or another. Technology is wonderful...when it works!

The plant looks right at home with you. Had a wonderful walk-about with my kids this past weekend. We went to the local Farmers Market together.

Pretty scenery here! She must have been a good plant mommy! Yep sometimes it gets tough keeping up with our internet favorites, especially in busy summertime! For me also-
