Hiking in Roan Mountain

I went hiking in Roan Mountain, TN on Saturday. It's about an hour from Morganton, NC. It was a beautiful day, but quite chilly for mid July - 57 degrees and windy. Luckily, there was a jacket in the car. As I walked closer to the top of the mountain, I began hearing a strange humming noise. Bees? Flies? A UFO? No, just weed eaters. The Southern Appalachian Highlands Conservancy was busy cleaning up Grassy Ridge. Not an easy job. They carried their tools over an hour (not an easy hike) to their workplace. There were children, parents, grandparents and lots of dogs.

After resting a while at the end of the trail, I headed back down. After walking about 10 minutes, I looked up and 5-6 feet in front of me stood a deer. He wasn't startled at all after seeing me. He just stared back, then slowly walked across the path. What a great day!

It has rained "cats and dogs" today here in Morganton, NC. Outside our office, it rained so hard that when the rain hit the ashpalt it actually started blowing uphill. I had never seen such a sight!

All the trees and grass are very green from the rain that we have already been sent from the heavens. Starla and I both remarked on how beautiful everything is, even though there is not a lot of blooming on the flowers yet. Green is my favorite color, so that might influence my opinion.

We are catching up on the rainfall that has been lacking for the last couple of years. Let's be thankful!

It's a great day in the neighborhood here in Morganton, NC. It turned sunny this afternoon, though rain is expected tonight and for the weekend. If you choose to look up, you can see a beautiful sky. It amazes me to see the different scenes that the sky can produce. I look out my window most evenings toward Table Rock Mountain and see blue sky with white fluffs like cotton candy, pale pink streaks, rosy colored hues, or glowing golden splashes moving behind a cloud. I often ask my husband, "Do you see the sky?" These beautiful colors don't appear for very long.

Sometimes the sky is grey and dreary looking. It seems to be trying to remind us that we have cares and problems in this world. Then I recall the old man who said, "If you don't have a problem, there is a good chance that someone has already preached your funeral."

Let's keep looking up and perhaps we will find another great day in the neighborhood.
