Slowly waking up this spring after the cold snap this bumble bee is trying to dry out his new wings.
We had some much needed rain this morning and now I can go out to the garden and pulls up those pesty weeds without to much trouble.

Yesterday a friend and I hiked for about 5 miles on the Mountain to Sea Trail up on the Parkway. The trail starts up in the mountains and continues on paths and roads to the Atlantic Ocean on the NC beaches.  The trails are well marked here in the mountains and a wonderful place to take a walk in the woods.  You can reach the trail in about 10 minutes from our house by car , park and walk as far as you want.
