    From the deck at the welcome center

    vista with power cables

    Two views from the North Carolina welcome center on I-40. Driving I-40 was an experience, especially on the Fourth weekend when everybody in the southeast seemed to be headed to the Smokies — or maybe to Dollywood.

    Here at Wildacres there are no power cables to mar the view (they’re there in the bottom photo running between the trees but resolution may not be good enough for them to show). We are right on top of a mountain in the Blue Ridge. Right now I’m off to walk the trail around the mountain top.

What I'm Doing...

  • The eastern horizon glows like the embers of a sacred fire. Chattering songbirds call for day. To the south, a dove mourns. 1 day ago
  • Drizzle is a miserable word. The heavens lower, my mood is dour. A little spring and I would sing. The sun would turn me carefree as a bird. 3 days ago
