Thankful Thursday in the Murphy, NC mountains...
We are so thankful for being surrounded with the fields, woods and creek beds that offer plenty of varieties of wildflowers here in the Murphy, NC mountains.
Many have several names that they go by and there are just as many old-timey folk remedies that go along with them too. But most of all, we enjoy the beauty and diversity they offer and the perfect wildflower bouquets they make in every season.
