Hi all and Welcome to Outdoor Wednesday with our lovely hostess Susan. I am also announcing the winner of my recent 100th post give-away! Thank-you to all who stopped by and left comments! I wish I had the means to send something to each and everyone of you! Your friendship means a lot!

Hubby and I recently returned from a trip to N. and S. Carolina. One of the highlights was our drive along the Blue Ridge Parkway. The scenery is breathtaking and I am sure my pics will not do it justice.

The higher we drove, the cooler and mistier it became.

As we came upon the visitor center the mist became so thick it was hard to see. The temperature had dropped about 25 degrees, it was amazing! One moment I was hot and running the AC and the next I was scrambling for my sweater!

But the most amazing part, are the wild rhododendrons! They are growing everywhere, and as you can tell by my pic, they were a bit past there peek but still fabulous! Everywhere, everywhere pink rhododendrons! Oh what joy! Now, on to my giveaway! My daughter Katie and her friend stopped by to help out. Katie is the one in the cropped jeans.

After a lot of cutting and folding ( 3 entries for my followers) we have a WINNER!

Congratulations to Loretta! Loretta has been a great blogging buddy. She is always looking things up for me and is such a lovely lady! I found her blog because I loved Cherries and when I saw the name,
