THE MIST

I AM the mist, the impalpable mist
Back of the thing you seek.

My arms are long,

Long as the reach of time and space.

Some toil and toil, believing,

Looking now and again on my face,

Catching a vital, olden glory.

But no one passes me,

I tangle and snare them all.

I am the cause of the Sphinx,

The voiceless, baffled, patient Sphinx.

I was at the first of things,

I will be at the last.

I am the primal mist

And no man passes me;

My long impalpable arms

Bar them all.

West Asheville House

Lots are at a premium in Asheville and this neighborhood utilizes

steep lots for several houses overlooking the River Arts District

in West Asheville.

Another interesting sculpture in the same garden.

This garden was not open for the tour but looked interesting...



West Asheville Garden Stroll 2011 (Part 1)

The third annual West Asheville Garden Stroll was held on September 10th

with perfect fall weather and happy crowds.  This year the

gardens were concentrated in two areas and very walkable.

The Sunny Point Cafe was a good starting point on the tour with

vegetables for their patrons, cold lime-lemonade for the strollers, and clean restrooms.

This garden is concentrated in the front yard - no lawn - and the fence

and entrance gate design is excellent.  Pine needles are used

for the pathway which meanders around the house.

Sister J SpiritVoice was spreading the word on

bees and her work.  See http://thehoneybeeproject.com/
