Before all hell broke loose with Corona virus, I was in North Carolina for my Spring Break. I stayed with my cousins in Charlotte before I headed into Asheville on my own. It was so wonderful catching up with them.
My adorable cousin on the swings
And her twin!
Even bigger cousin!
And even BIGGER cousins!
There were also friendly sheep on this visit.
And a very sweet piggy.
We ate at a great restaurant called Emmet’s social table in Waxhaw.
And grabbed some sweets from Amelie’s café and bakery in Uptown. What an amusing place! It is jam-packed with absurd, repurposed objects and has a whimsical, eccentric atmosphere.
We also went to the Daniel Stowe Botanical Garden, where my cousins had been married. Unfortunately, I was so ill at the time of the event, I wasn’t able to attend. Making up for it years later!
And now, for the orchids. Orchids are a frequent symbol in mythology, which makes sense, as they seem alien and magic at once.
