I have a friend who calls Kudzu:  "The weed that ate the south."  Hahaha!  Too true to be funny.  Betsy called the route through the Nantahala Gorge:  "The Kudzu National Forest."  Now, that's funny.

 

I know you've seen Kudzu everywhere;  can't miss it.  Well, this time of year it is blooming.  I got a good picture for you.

 

 

The flowers look like sweet pea blossoms, and they smell so sweet.  We call the smell:  "grape Kool-aid."  That may not sound good to you, but just roll down the windows next time you're in a Kudzu National Forest, and breath the air.  You might agree with us.

 

HAPPY SEPTEMBER!!!
