Lesbian Fiction ForumLorna and I went out to our version of Cheers (Waffle House) then went to Reems Creek Nursery to look at some plants. We bought a Spirea Reevesiana, aka Double Bridal Wreath. It is a shrub that will get to about 3' high and 4' wide (or was it the other way around??). Anyway, we've always wanted one and it was on sale. If you want to get a flowering shrub, get it before they begin to bloom. Once they look purty, the price skyrockets.
At any rate, we were leaving there and headed home. We headed down to the French Broad River and home. The closer we got to the river, the smokier it got. The river itself was smoky enough to be considered fog. We crossed the river and continued on our way home, but the smoke kept up. It was so bad by the time we got home, I had to stay inside vs watching Lorna clear the area for the shrub.
We just heard on the news that Cocke county in Tennessee is doing a huge planned burn. The wind and air pressure turned the French Broad River into a chimney.
