It was another gorgeous weekend in the North Carolina mountains. Charlie and I went up on Thursday night. On Friday afternoon, we got to meet my newest great-niece, Lacy. Sixteen days old! What a sweetheart! I caught her smiling in her sleep in this picture.
We did not have our grandchildren there this time, but we enjoyed watching everyone else's.
We spent lots of time fishing in the pond, putting our chairs in the creek and watching the little ones, and of course, riding up the mountain on our Gator. The weather was sunny and warm most of the weekend. Look at the happy clouds and blue sky!
Mother Nature decorates the Christmas trees in the field during the summer.
So pretty on the mountain! 
Charlie and I picked blackberries on Saturday afternoon, and Mary made a cobbler for dessert. I did most of my picking from the Gator, since at our first stop I almost stepped on a very big snake. Just a black snake, but ....
The wildflowers were abundant, with lots of black-eyed Susans.
We took one more ride on Sunday afternoon, and it looked like we might get a storm. Look at these scary snag trees!
This picture reminds me of the John Denver song: "There's a storm across the valley, clouds are rolling in..."
However, we only had a few sprinkles before we left for home. We stopped in Cary for a birthday dinner with our son Dave and his wife Emily. Here they are with their new ECU flag.
Dave wanted us to try some Thai food and Sushi for his birthday dinner...something we normally would never had experienced. It was an excellent delight!
Tired today...I have a customer's Christmas quilt on the Gammill today, so I guess I know what I will be doing!
