Yes, all of Asheville was full during the leaf time. I lived in fairview outside of town. I do have one cousin that still lives in North Carolina. Also relatives in Kentucky and Tennessee.
Guess what I did? I put a sewing needle all the way through my middle finger on the left hand a couple hours ago. I honestly could not believe it! It was half way in and half way out the other side. I just happen to have a needle-nose set of pliers there on the sewing desk and had to yank it back out with that. It is sore, but not too bad really. I am contemplating going to get a tetanus shot. I haven't had one in years. Geesh, it is always something.
