What else is there to do when it's 92 degrees
outside and the lawn is already cut.

Franklin NC

We spent the weekend in Franklin NC for the 14th Annual Taste of Scotland festival. We stayed at the Heritage Inn and rented an efficiency apartment which was perfect. It was within walking distance to just about everything we needed or wanted. It was a hot weekend, but a nice one. We checked out the festival, ate some soft pretzels and had some drinks at Rathskellar Coffee Haus. Walked around town, checked out 3 of the water falls in the area and finished Saturday nite at Rathskellar with some more pretzels, whiskey cake, beer and a game of Rummy while listening to Honey Pie http://www.youtube.com/user/honeypiemusic

Dry Falls where you can walk behind the water and take in the mist.

Ancient Celtic wear vs. modern. I'll take the modern and the drop dead sexy man in it.

New friend

This is our new friend and I'm inches away from her. Apparently marshmallows are not in her diet, but peanuts and almonds are. We feed anything that comes in the yard and I love to watch the squirrels play. This one never seemed afraid of us so I took advantage of this.

What is this?

Is this a wood boring bee? It didn't make this hole, it was already there on the fence post, it just seems to be filing it with something. I've seen others but they look like giant bumble bees. Not sure what this one is, any help identifying would be nice.

Memorial Day 2010

This Memorial Day was spent with prior military folks, brats, chicken sausage and lots more. Not to mention the most amazing and simple caramel sauce ever made or consumed in the Hill House.
