We've all heard the saying "once in a blue moon," but what IS a blue moon? This refers to the uncommon occurrence of two full moons in a single month, which happens 7 times every 19 years, or once about every 2 to 3 years.
Tomorrow evening, May 31, is the second full moon of May--a blue moon. So if there's something in your life that happens "only once in a blue moon," well, that time would be now!

Did you know that Ashville Highway is over a century old?
In 1910, a major project was underway in the northeastern part of Jefferson County. This was the construction of the Monticello-Asheville Road (known today as Ashville Highway) out of sand and clay. It became a major thoroughfare for locals when they were traveling east, since Highway 90 did not yet exist.
