It was a wonderful day. It was also a very, very warm day! We visited the garden at the Biltmore Estate this morning, just as we planned. It was a very good plan. There weren't a lot of people around, and we got to enjoy the garden without crowds, and before the day got really hot. We congratulated ourselves on our planning , especially as we moved on to do our last shopping at The Winery (each section of the Estate has items in common, but also has items unique to that area, so we needed to be sure we had what we wanted from each part of the Estate.)
Then we headed out of the Estate, noting the darkening sky, and also the increasing crowds ... and were congratulating ourselves when the heavens opened and we were struck by a most impressive thunderstorm complete with very heavy rain. At the gates to the Estate we pulled over and waited for the heavy rain to abate, then went into the Gift Shop for our very last visit! And then, it was on to the yarn shop, where we did a little more damage.
We finished our day with dinner out, and the joy of packing up ready to go home ... next time I write I will be in Ontario - specific location yet to be determined, by time, inclination and computer access. See you then!
