And a wonderful shop to visit - I like the laundry line picture too. I'm so far behind in reading blogs - I need to learn to speed read I fear.JoAnn ( Scene Through My Eyes)https://www.blogger.com/profile/12621061028973446378noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7310317081887553860.post-12349114422626820982016-08-01T15:54:31.563-04:002016-08-01T15:54:31.563-04:00I am also about four hours from Asheville.

I think this plant is just so hardy, that it will grow just about anywhere. Mine's a few years old now and is about 5-1/2 ft tall. What pretty shops you visited in Asheville...love those birdhouses and the prints.

We saw the Thomas Wolfe house and walked and enjoyed window shopping too.

The goldfinches are eating seeds from them on the stalk though they are prickly. I deadheaded mine just this morning hoping to get another flush of flowers though I haven't a clue if that will work.donna bakerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13507579686738843451noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7310317081887553860.post-87097547087501921422016-07-31T13:08:33.012-04:002016-07-31T13:08:33.012-04:00I somehow "lost" your blog and wondered ...I somehow "lost" your blog and wondered why I had not been seeing your posts!

I used to daydream about living there but the husband was a NYer through and through and then I was sort of worried about going alone. Now my brother lives near there, building a new house for himself ..<br />There is no law that says I must stay where I am ! lol Notes From ABroadhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12202279303962539035noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7310317081887553860.post-66599113186177195952016-07-31T07:36:35.992-04:002016-07-31T07:36:35.992-04:00What a beautiful post, Mary.

I'm looking to add a few new plants that will attract butterflies.I have a wreath on the mouse house made with magnolia leaves. I get a lot of compliments on it. Now about those bird houses...*love*.
