It's time to cut hay in Crabtree. Several farmers have been cutting this week and the smell of fresh-cut hay is positively intoxicating. AND the honeysuckle is in full bloom, so we've enjoyed the wonderful scents!
This young bird visited our feeder yesterday and seemed to love the sunflower seeds.
We drove over Crabtree Mountain on the way home tonight and spotted this old lady beside the road. Old barns have such character and, I'm sure, stories to tell!
Here's my favorite shot of the valley...you can see the horses mid-field and the rolls of hay which the neighbors have helped crop.
We have LOVED being here this week...just confirms our desire to spend more and more time here in North Carolina. We spent time with our bestest buddies, ate lots of good food, visited some new places and just generally had a wonderful time. It will be so hard to leave tomorrow...the moon and stars were beautiful from the hot tub tonight and the fireflies put on a show. We could hear the frogs bellowing from the pond below. The temperature is 60 degrees at 10:30 pm with a gentle breeze...sound like heaven? IT IS!
