Today I rode with the Yarbroughs up to Lake Lure. We had planned on spending the day at the beach there, but when checking the website before we left town, realized that it closed down for the season yesterday :-(. Since the kids were so looking forward to the trip (the adults, too), we decided to go on up & just see what we could see. We spent a good part of the morning at the Flowering Bridge. This is the old highway roadbed that was replaced with a new bridge, and has been turned into the most amazing flower garden. Absolutely beautiful. There was just more than you could take in – something new to see almost every step you took, like this birdfeeder made out of a cup and saucer.
There were replicas of books, which were really painted stepping stones, all around the garden. This was one of our favorites.
