THIS MOMENT, {SEE BEAUTIFUL}

Today we are participating in

This Moment, See Beautiful

our hostess is

SUGAR.

Last week the peeps left me for

87 hours...this moment was not beautiful

They needed to get away so I said ok just be 

sure to 

SEE BEAUTIFUL 

WHILE YOU ARE AWAY....

They went to visit friends in the foothills

of the most beautiful

Great Smoky Mountains in NC 

and took a day trip to Virginia

From atop their friends deck they

surely saw beautiful things in their 

garden.....

They have 5' high butterfly bushes

the swallowtails were everywhere 

mom said she had never seen that many butterflies

in one place.  She guessed there 

were at least 50 or more on the bushes

or fluttering around the bushes

Someone forgot the name of this beautiful

vine

Mom told me this was an elephant ear??!!

this is some kind of bean plant...

their friends planted to ward of

voles and moles...

They took a day trip to visit 

Mabry Mill....they had lunch at the 

cafe on site too

The mill is no longer in service

but the wheel still turns like it is

new

They topped of a purrfect day with a 

visit to  Chateau Morrisette Winery

This beautiful chandelier was the first

thing they saw upon entering.

I half expected 
Puddles 
to be swinging from it. MOL MOL MOL

Hand painted wine barrel

 The winery has a resident Black Lab.

All of the wine bottles have

a picture of him on the label

I heard through the grape vine (pun intended)

that mom tried her darndest to get this

lovely piece of antique furniture in her

purse...but she could not get the zipper 

on her purse to close so she had to 

leave the chest at the Winery.

They had many moments to SEE Beautiful
