There is never a boring view from this home.  This view looks from the driveway across the field in the direction of Pisgah Mountain, which can be seen from the house on clearer days.  I love the snow clinging to the tree limbs and the pristine snow lying on the ground...as yet untouched by wildlife, pets, grandchildren or us.

"Sunshine is delicious, rain is refreshing, wind braces us up, snow is exhilarating; there is really no such thing as bad weather, only different kinds of good weather.”   John Ruskin

FRONT YARD SUNSET!

Catch your breath!  Looking from the front porch across the driveway and beyond the pasture.   Each sunset is even more spectacular in person!

  This awesome  picture of early morning mist was  shot by my granddaughter, Ashley, from the side porch of our home. The photo is overlooking the distant French Broad River flood plain in Mills River.  It is quite breathtaking. The sepia tones were caught by the camera and not by editing. Way to go, Ashley!

Our Rose Garden, which is somewhat heart shaped in design, bloomed well this year. Must be more due to lots of rain and sun than to my green thumb. Well, maybe my thumb helped a bit, but the credit goes to Mom Nature!
