......down the road to the south-west....around the corner....past the goat barn......past Timmy's house.....past the rock quarry....but...before you get to US221...

You come to this delightful little spot!!

Late at night ...when everything is real still....we can hear the sound of rushing water..

Nature is soooo cool!!

Whoaaa....."soooo Cool"....the 1960's are coming out!!?

Different View.......

.......of the little mountain cabin.....

View from the road south-west of us.......the one that runs around the corner....past the goat barn......past Timmy's house.....past the old rock quarry......past the New River.....and finally out to US221......

Look at that Carolina blue sky.....!!

Wish it looked like that today.....another misty, rainy, cold....nasty day.....

Are you........

.......the new neighbors.....??

these two appeared in the yard Friday afternoon.......have no idea where they came from or where they went.......

.....they sniffed around the yard .........went up to visit the parental units....then disappeared back into the trees......haven't seen them since.......

Hummmmmm....were they really there or a figment of my imagination......

Something new to ponder.......??!!

Another one........

.....beautiful sunrise.....

The beginning of another beautiful Saturday!!

Well.......i think i've solved the problem of not having double ovens......

What would we do without the Wal*Marts!!??........
Turkey size portable roaster ovens on sale......just before Thanksgiving......how 'bout that!!??

Can't believe i've had this double oven problem every major holiday for the last 25-30 years and finally found an answer!!

The male child caught Miss Kitty in the beginnings of a jaw popping yawn.....

Had to share ....... it's a good one!!

Harvest Time........

(click on pictures to enlarge)

First......i must apologize for the pictures.......it was an overcast day and my little Canon SureShot does not have the best zoom lens.......

But....anyway the tree harvest is in full swing....... the fur babies and i took a few minutes to watch the action........note the cut trees along side the service roads

Here comes one of many tractor pulled trailers loaded with Christmas Trees!!

there they go.......to the holding barn......where one of the hundreds of little pick-up trunks, will attach to the trailer and pull it to the distribution barn......where the trees are loaded on to refrigerated semi-trucks......and they're on the road again!!

To a Christmas Tree lot near you....or you.....or you.....maybe?

BIG BUSINESS......up here in the high country!!

Wordless Wednesday.....
