Rainy morning in Franklin, North Carolina

Yesterday was a beautiful day in North Georgia, as they always are, every season.  I'm sitting on a patio at the Carolina Motel with a light rain and Carlene inside drinking her coffee.  We're going to have a beautiful rainy day.

I downloaded an app for identifying plants and flowers (Plant Snap) and used it several times yesterday.  When you take a picture of a leaf or flower, the app will identify the plant and the  history of the plant.

                            We shopped for cars, but this one was probably not road-worthy:

We had a delicious lunch at the Attic in Clarkesville,

then dinner at the Root and Barrel last night here in Franklin:

In Clarkesville, we met a  man we liked.

"You aren't from Georgia," I said.  "I'd say Massachusetts."

"What?  Do you have supernatural powers?" he asked.

"Your accent is just like my friends Linda and Steve who live on Cape Cod."

Turns out he grew up in Worcester, the same town they both grew up in!

We enjoyed looking and shopping in local galleries, taking pictures, enjoying meals, and acquainting ourselves with the foliage of the colorful Blue Ridge mountains.

Road tripping, we are two happy girls!
