To all my faithful followers, I'm sorry for leaving you with a depressing post for the last 3 months.
For as long as I've been able to express myself through written word, my strongest urges to write surface during my lowest dispositions. So, if you see a lull in posts, just know life is good. :)
And life is definitely wonderful.
For the first time in my life, I LOVE the summer. Could be the result of a beautiful juxtaposition (last winter was brutally depressing), or it could be everything about Virginia...but I'd say it's a little bit of both. I see mountains every day. I enjoy the mountains every day. The wildflowers, sunsets, waterfalls. The fireflies, wild rabbits, deer, and groundhogs.
Everything. I absolutely love everything about it.
K, maybe not the humidity. Definitely not the humidity...but it's easy to ignore in the grand scheme of things.
Since pictures are worth a thousand words, I'll just leave you with these. You'll understand why I'm in love with this place:
This little guy was on the side of the road. I see at least one every day. In fact, I was sitting on the porch this evening, and one ran across the yard. Scared me to death.
A stream running through Cave Mountain Lake park.
Apple Orchard Falls, Bedford, VA. By far my favorite discovery.
A wider view. You can actually climb all over the place. Duane and I climbed up to that huge boulder on the right. It was stunning...and terrifying!
