One of the great things about where we live is that every month is beautiful for some reason.
As we warm up - and with normal rainfall this year, June brings the explosion of blooms to our mountains.
And the Catawba Rhododendron - which is found on much of the ridges over 5000 feet - is beautiful this year.
As always, the weekend will find us on the trails enjoying the beauty. Wanna go hiking?

One of the things I always loved about visiting my grandma in the South was that there were always so many gorgeous flowers!
We would love to go hiking with The Herd anytime!

Beautiful rhoddie…

Happy Weekend and belly rubs,

You DO live in such a beautiful area. Those rhodendrons are just gorgeous. We wish you all a wonderful weekend.

We have a pale pink Rhodie and it is not near as pretty as that wild one! Wow!
Kisses,

I couldn’t agree more. It’s going to be a danged hot hike this weekend. Take it easy.
That sure is pretty…but I am sure you would much rather see all the white stuff, right?
I definitely want to go hiking, especially if it’s muddy.

I might just have a snooze on the couch while you go hiking, if that’s alright.
I’d love to be there with you all!
Have fun!
Kisses and hugs

Oh yeah, I remember tons of rhododendron when we were in Asheville and Shenandoah. Not to mention mountain laurel!
