Blueridge

For those of you who know me well, you know I'm spontaneous at times, having nine children has nipped that in the bud a bit, but it's just who I am. So when on my due date, my hubby (who I may have mentioned before is NOT spontaneous) woke up and said, Let's go to the blue ridge!, I was very excited. We drove up to the parkway, on the north end which was new to us. It was a good diversion for me as I knew I wouldn't be seeing labor for at least ten more days...
David was not with us so here is everyone but he and Silas. Who was with us but taking his sweet time about being visible.
My strong kids!
The mountain laurel was almost done blooming.
This my friends, is a stink horn. And that stuff that looks like dog poop, it smells like it, too. It's a fungus.
And I don't know what this was but I suspect also a type of fungus.
We bought a bunch of snacks and made a day of it. It was a great memory as our Kaley got married just a month later. We stopped frequently and walked some trails. We also stopped at this beautiful home that you can now visit.
