Yesterday was a spot on good day. Drive was easy -- made the little effort to stop in historic Franklin for a cortado which feels like a treat just because and with the only purpose of a little pleasure for me.
Unloaded the car and picked these beauties from the blooms that were overhanging the sidewalk.
Fussed around and then headed downtown to the teahouse and started this book. Rosamunde Pilcher authors of one of my favorite books, "The Shell Seekers." I like her writing a lot. This is a chonker at 900+ pages.
Grabbed dinner from a vegan restaurant I haven't been in a long time (leftovers for today so bonus points). Found an engagement gift I was struggling to get right.
Started the embroidery kit -- set up fabric and traced the design. Next up is the tutorial for each kind of beginner stitch.
Today I'm grabbing lunch with my neighbor and doing all the usual Asheville things -- including, cleaning (blah). Lunch is at the same vegan restaurant. Family doesn't like vegan places so I try to go when I'm here by myself. Redundant, but that's how it worked out and I'm happy to go again -- lots of good choices and more leftovers. It'll be a double leftover dinner tonight.
I slept with the windows open and it was the best. I slept like crap though -- maybe too much caffeine later in the day. Fingers crossed for better tonight.
I debated staying another night because it feels so nice to be here, but a hike posted for Sunday morning. Repeat of last week and I need to get my hiking legs back. I'll hit the Farmer's Market and the teahouse tomorrow and call it for this visit.
The trip is just what I needed. Later gators.
