Mountain Mist

Mist rises from a valley below the Blue Ridge Parkway at sunrise near Boone, North Carolina.
Though perhaps not as majestic as say the Rockies, the Appalachian Mountains and the Blue Ridge in particular are special nonetheless. The drive down the Blue Ridge Parkway in Virginia and North Carolina is one of the most spectacular in the country.

Murray’s Mill
Yate’s Mill in Raleigh is a fine example of a 18th century water powered grist mill, and Murray’s Mill in Catawba County, North Carolina is an equally well preserved late 19th and early 20th century example. Built in 1913 by John Murray, whose father, William, had operated a mill on the site since 1883, Murray’s Mill is a combination of water powered stones for grinding corn and roller mills for grinding flour. The equipment is almost completely intact from the day it ceased operation in 1967. Next door to the mill and part of the Murray’s Mill Historic District, is the Murray and Minges General Store run by John’s brother Oley. For more info on these historic structures, go to http://www.catawbahistory.org/historic_murrays_mill.php.
Merlot Harvest
Early September means grape harvest for Leslie and Norm Zimmerman of Zimmerman Vineyards, a family run winery in Trinity, North Carolina. Family and neighbors get together on this day to pick Merlot grapes. There was an overcast and a little rain, which made things a little more comfortable for the pickers. The Merlot wine should be good, because Norm said the sugar content was real high this year. For information on Zimmerman wines, tastings and venue info, go to http://www.zimmermanvineyards.net/#.

Old Hitch Ring
(Photograph copyright 2011 by Dan Routh)
An old hitch ring on the wall of our barn in Grays Chapel, North Carolina. The barn was built about 1870 to house work-horses and mules and the ring was to tie animals outside of their stalls. Though it’s been some 60 years since we used a mule, the old ring still hangs there waiting.
