Successful early drive to Asheville.
Managed to get to the farmer's market and the teahouse -- both with free Saturday morning parking. Heirloom tomato and lettuce for dinner, overnight oats (the reason for the early morning drive), pastry for hubby and wildflowers.

Finished this at the teahouse. Quick and good -- something different. |
Stocked up the Little Free Library and a neighbor commented that it gets lots of use and they like it. Phew. I was chicken for a long time about putting it up. Would we get dinged by the historical association (the neighbor who stopped is on the association)? Hubby wasn't thrilled it drew attention to the house. I wasn't sure it would be used. Be brave -- I need reminding for even the littlest things. People like the quote jar and the goodie jar (seeds, painted rocks, stickers) the best -- and that's the most fun for me to put together. My quote document has really good quotes, if I do say so myself. There's another LFL I see with a quote jar and I copied the idea since I like theirs so much.
Quiet afternoon and then off to the comedy show. I wanted to try this theater to see what's what. Local, small stuff is nice and I'll keep a watch for more. It was a pretty little theater -- comedy was good. We went to the early show (6-8pm) and that was the best.
Picture doesn't do this justice, It's a cute theater. |
My usual nighttime drink in Asheville.
This morning is cool(ish) and Duke and I are headed for a long walk. I have some children's books to put in a LFL at the elementary school. Hitting the teashop (of course) and then tacos on the river with the dogs. I've missed Asheville. If all goes as planned, this is the 1st of 3 trips in August.
Agatha Christie up next. Vintage books from a friend. I read this decades ago. |
My sister and her daughter from MN are in town late-late on Sunday. We're going to grab a quick hello before we leave to drive home Monday morning. My sister moves down in a month, but I rarely get to see my niece so I'm glad we could overlap a bit -- they decided last minute to make the trip.
Hope you're having a good weekend. Later gators.
