Spring in Maggie Valley, NC… or is it?
April 12th, 2008 Categories: Things to Do
Spring in Maggie Valley, NC is always beautiful, and the weather is refreshing, warming up a bit, and sometimes unpredictable. Today (April 12th) our temperatures have been in the high 60’s all day, but our weather forecast for tonight and tomorrow predicts lows in the 20’s and the possibility of snow on Monday! What?
I have a blanket of pink ‘pebbles’ which are petals from the 2 ornamental crabapple trees I have in my tiny front yard. The trees are in pink
splendor today, hiding those pesky squirrels who empty out my bird feeders every day.
Soon I’ll have my spring visitors again, and I am hoping to see the mallards again. I have a possum living under my deck who survives on cat food and scraps I leave out at night, and occasionally 
a skunk visits. The chipmunks haven’t appeared yet, but soon they will be scurrying about my yard, digging holes.
Luckily the bat that I found in a wreath on my front door didn’t stay long. Unaware that he had roosted in my wreath, I slammed the door by accident and only noticed him because when the door slammed he was disturbed and had to climb back to his spot and the movement of his long ‘arms’ caught my eye. He left that night and hasn’t been back. That’s a good thing. 
My fledgling magnolia tree has blooms and buds already. It is in need of a gardener.
It is a beautiful time of year to visit Maggie Valley. Soon the log homes perched on the mountains will be hidden by the beautiful green foliage.
