Something’s Burning and It Isn’t Love

Beth Ann Chiles/ North Carolina, Writing/ 17 Comments/ 632

Hot Coffee, Llamas and Wine

Beth Ann Chiles/ North Carolina, Photography, Travel/ 21 Comments/ 705

Kudzu— Love It or Leave It?

Beth Ann Chiles/ North Carolina, Photography, Writing/ 29 Comments/ 833

Now that I reside in the wonderful South again I am enthralled with the kudzu vine that appears to grow virtually everywhere.  That’s it in the picture that I shot while we were driving up the mountain  home one day.  Does it look like it Continue reading →

What’s Outside Your Window?

Beth Ann Chiles/ Life stories, North Carolina, Photography/ 21 Comments/ 3670

Tell me. What’s outside your window?  Is it green and leafy where you live?  Are the flowers popping out?  Is the wildlife everywhere or do you live in a place of tall buildings and views of a city? I love seeing what others post around Continue reading →

Waterfalls abound in North Carolina and recently one of my new friends here in Connestee Falls invited me to hike a little trail to discover Moore Cove Falls in Pisgah National Forest.  Of course I said yes because it was a waterfall and I am Continue reading →

The Good Girl

I loved this book! It had my interest from the very first page and was my "airplane" book on a recent trip. Author Mary Kubica created believable and interesting characters that the reader learned to identify with and care about. Mi...
