On Wednesday Reed got off work early, so we drove up to the Blue Ridge Parkway, its just so beautiful, it is a little early in the season for all the leaves to be on the trees, its really high for this park of the country, we went to the highest point, its called Mt. Michell, they haven't even opened the park yet, and they won't until May 1st.
Any way its a super steep and curvy road, but fun to drive on !
The pictures below are the sunset at the top in Mt. Michell, its pretty dark already so not really good in a picture but really pretty seeing it for real.
Then the other pictures are pretty much what I see every morning when I go for my walk, I go for about 1 hour, sometimes a little longer, depends on how hot I get, but its just so pretty and the smells up here are heavenly, If only I could bottle it.
We walked down to the Resort center on Thursday evening and just sat in the beach chairs and watched the water and boats and all the ducks, etc, so relaxing and nice, this is what life is all about, we are " living the dream"
Friday, we woke up to rain and it rained all day, so we just stayed in and had a fire in the fireplace and I knitted and Reed worked - we had a nice day - The only down side, is I couldn't take my walk and the only thing on TV was the horrible stuff happening in Boston, they have been trying to get the 2nd person involved in the Boston Marathon Bombing, he is still on the run at this point and his brother is dead.
These pictures below are what I see on my walks, the one has 3 turkeys in it, they were so big ! and I thought I could get closer, but they said NO !
