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?

Oh yeah, I remember tons of rhododendron when we were in Asheville and Shenandoah. Not to mention mountain laurel!
I’d love to be there with you all!
Have fun!

I might just have a snooze on the couch while you go hiking, if that’s alright.
I definitely want to go hiking, especially if it’s muddy.

That sure is pretty…but I am sure you would much rather see all the white stuff, right? 🙂
I couldn’t agree more. It’s going to be a danged hot hike this weekend. Take it easy.
We have a pale pink Rhodie and it is not near as pretty as that wild one! Wow!
