Nestled on a mountain top near Tweetsie Railroad & Blowing Rock NC, our friends Chad & John have a beautiful log cabin home. In May we enjoyed a Saturday afternoon with them- welcoming the warm Spring weather and enjoying the many blooms and fresh green foliage. So many plants seem to enjoy the cool moist mountain weather. Many of the flora species that would die in the Charlotte heat & drought of June and July seem to do just fine a couple of hours East and several hundred feet in elevation. Temperatures are frequently 20' cooler in the NC High Country than in Charlotte.
Nothing says "mountains" like a log cabin...
Orange Azaleas- a rare find & special treat...
Chad & John are very successful gardeners... We spent the afternoon exploring various plants that had weathered the harsh winter and finally exploded with new growth in the warmth of the May sunshine.
Food, Drinks and Good Times shared on the back patio.
After enduring one of the coldest and snowiest winters in recent years- it was a great way to enjoy springtime in the NC High County.
Love the panoramic features of the iPhone!!
