Tomorrow. Let the sewing begin tomorrow.
We are back from our lovely trip to Asheville! We woke up early this morning and did the gardens at Biltmore. It was raining a little – but it was the relaxing kind of light rain that ushers you to sleep. It was really quite pretty for being cold and wet.
We didn’t see that much of the gardens, but we did finally stumble upon the greenhouses. They were warm and filled with a variety of plants and flowers. They had a lot of palm trees and orchids. I especially liked the orchids.
Afterward we did some shopping. I am on the eternal hunt for pineapple paraphernalia thanks to the wonderful show Psych. Biltmore is like a pineapple gold mine. I picked up a pineapple glass for my sister – also an avid Psych lover.
Then we went over to Antler Village for a wine tasting and tour. That was a lot of fun! We got to sample a lot of different wines, and of course we ended up buying even more wine. The tour was incredibly informative. I learned so much about wine making! After the tour we had lunch at The Bistro before heading home. The drive always seems longer and less pretty on the way back for some reason.
We arrived home to snow – as everyone in Winston already knows. I think for the first time in my adult life, I am enjoying the snow. My car is home in Wake Forest, so I don’t have to drive in it. I have my sewing machine, my mom’s quilting machine, and enough sewing supplies to keep me content for probably two days tops.
Let it snow, let it snow, let me sew.
Pineapple!
