I went for a drive and noticed the autumn colors emerging. I came across an old barn with someone nearby. We struck up a conversation, and he mentioned that his father said the barn has existed since the late 1800s. It’s amazing to think it’s been there for so long. It would be interesting to hear the stories related to it. I didn’t see any other old houses around, so I assume this barn is the last remnant of whatever was once there. Eventually, it may disappear.

I appreciate living in Western North Carolina because the locals openly express their patriotism. Flags are abundant, and I find it fascinating how creatively people display them. While making a delivery on a back road, I spotted a flag placed along the roadside, which I found remarkable. Additionally, the fall colors are beginning to appear, marking one of my favorite seasons.

This is a view from the Marshall Bridge, which crosses into the lovely town of Marshall. Looking in the opposite direction, it’s hard to believe the buildings on the right were submerged up to 12 feet during the flood.

Although the picture suggests normalcy, there’s still significant damage and reconstruction along Main Street. The town is gradually recovering.

If you’re nearby, I recommend visiting. There’s a great coffee shop near the courthouse. It’s a beautiful day—enjoy the view!

It was a beautiful day for a drive during my delivery. This photo was taken on the Marshall Bridge while entering Marshall, which was severely affected by the flood. The image captures the French Broad River on a pleasant day.

For my friends that like color…….

With so much going on I have decided to not listen to the radio today ……Just out enjoying the day…..this photo I got yesterday…..

I love old barns there are so many around me….

I love old buildings and barns in western North Carolina. I often find and photograph them. I recently discovered another one. Enjoy!
