The Haywood County Garden Stroll

The garden tour was supposed to be today. It wasn't. The virus is here and slowly spreading. It is spreading faster close by. We can still go for a stroll in the tour rejected wild cultivated gardens. Even better in the cool evenings, than tour hours in the heat of the day. Click on a picture for the slide show.

West Asheville Garden Stroll 2018

The 10th anniversary of the West Asheville Garden Stroll felt like the very first time again for me. I gave up volunteering last year because the Almighty Falls, and well because, I was getting old and going blind. Today was just an unplanned adventure like the very first time.

Ten years later and I am older and more whatever. But I have lived in small towns for so long, now far outside another, that going to Asheville is like going on safari to the big city. It was my turn to be the rubbernecker.

I deviated from a gardens on tour only protocol to taking a picture of whatever captured my eye as I walked the back streets of West Asheville.
