Pretty in pink, this year I decided not to buy the usual red geraniums but instead found these lovely pink trailing ones to hang instead.  The hostas are coming back from the heavy frost we had and the green ground cover is lush and full doing it's job on the hill side.  On the wall on the window trellis the Lady Banks Rose did a wonderful display of yellow flowers for almost 3 weeks.  Most years it blooms in May and then last only a week in the hot sun.

Today the Black Mountain Farmers Market opens, can't wait  to walk down to see what is growing this time of the year.  Fresh seafood is brought up from the Outer Banks , fresh flowers and other local products will be for sale. The market is open 9  -12 every Saturday through the fall.
