Biltmore Estate Tour in Ashville North Carolina..have you ever been there?

 Hard to imagine how anyone could live in it.

Very interesting but I was more impressed with all the gardens.

We spent the whole day touring and boy was it hot that day!

We were melting in this picture.

I think it would be fun seeing this at Christmas time with all the decorated trees.

You were not allowed to pictures inside.

A must see if you are in the area but take lots of money.

Some garage sale finds yesterday...weather was perfect Summer Day!!!!

Sitting out on my porch drinking my coffee this morning. It's a muggy cloudy morning but clearing up later. Last night I sat out there late, candle lit, watching the fireflies. Very peaceful.

Anyway I cleaned my porch and made room for my garage sale find.

 Found this crock stand....love it.
Tin strainer underneath it too.

 I have had this house but moved it up in the table.

 skinny twig tree

 I want to get some mini fresh sunflowers to set in this basket.

New rug for my daughter to put in her kitchen.

She needed on and this will be perfect for her.

These are hard to find.

Now I am off to get ready to work in my garden.

Have a wonderful Summer day!

Quick post---Norm and I have been on our motorcycle trip

We left on July 5th and made it home last night at 8:00.

We really enjoyed ourselves. It was hot, cold, rainy, windy...but mostly sunny. We drove the Skyline and continued on to Blueridge Parkway and the Smoki Mountains. Over 2000 miles total we put on the bike. That is a lot of riding.

My favorite stop was at Maggie Valley North Carolina to go to the Wheels of Time Museum .  The tv show is called Whats in the Barn. I will show some of those pics now and others later. I am still trying to catch up from the trip.

I would love to have a store like this near me.

We found this store on our motorcycle trip and I did not want to leave. I could have really loaded up if we had the car. 

 I have some of these terra cotta pumpkins I bought 10 years ago.
 Love them out in the Fall.

 I have never seen such good looking turnips!!!!
They look fresh picked.
All of this stuff looks great.

She has a knack for putting this all together.

PJ time...have a good night.
