Folk School~Home

 after breakfast in Murphy, we stopped in Brasstown to visit the Folk School

 The music Room

 The pond

 stone bench, with blacksmith forged legs

 the gift shop

 lots of pottery

 love the twig bench

 black smithed items, my fav
I've been wanting to take a blacksmith class here, or any class for that matter, they have a great listing

 twig arbor

 the gift shop outside

the fence was lined with articles made by past students

 scrap man, love it

a stop at Clays Corner

 look what the Hubby found

 these shirts were great, Opossum, the other white meat

 this man owned this bug for 30 years, he told us about all the cool local places to visit, off roading, fishing, hunting

 the opossum at Clays Corner

 our highway

 um, is this a bad sign

 yes it was, rain with no wipers and no top, not a good thing

 when the windshield comes to your forehead all the rain jumps off the top and hits you in the head, hard to see that way, and on the curvy road to boot

 oh look, a dam tractor trailer, luckily the rain let up

 we need a break after all that, so we stop behind Bridal Veil Falls

the rain cooled it down a bit, now maybe it will be a nice ride

 this is a view out my side of the car, I am so low I can see under the guard rails, a good drop off here. The joys of riding in a Cobra

• you are closer to nature, the smell of honeysuckle, roadkill
• you can enjoy the weather, wind in your hair, rain in your face
• smaller vehicle means togetherness, but too noisy to talk
• smaller vehicle means you pack light, no room to buy junk

 almost home

 curves? bring em'

 stopped at Strawberry Hill for some homemade ice cream

 love coke memorabilia

 they are getting awful commercialized, not the small town place it used to be, but they are the only ones that do homemade ice cream, I tried blackberry this time, love it

 picking strawberries

 see all the peaches, The Hubby hates to see the ones waste away on the ground
