"Let us go on and take the adventures that shall fall to us." ~C.S. Lewis
We had big plans for our long weekend, but sadly none of them panned out. So instead we decided on a visit to our favorite state park for some fresh air and a snowy hike. Winter is such a different experience here in Tennessee than it is in Utah. Tennessee is less prepared to deal [...]
Fall seemed to take forever to get here to Tennessee! Family back in Utah kept posting their beautiful pictures of the colored leaves in the mountains and it was making me so jealous. The days have been warm and the leaves have stayed put in the green colors. But now, it is my turn to [...]
Happy First Day of October! I'm always so glad when summer gives way to the cooler, colorful joys of fall. Fall is my favorite season and I love that here in Tennessee it is a much more gradual and longer season than the quick flash of a few weeks that is in Utah. With October [...]

There is nothing better than an evening walk in the spring of Tennessee, especially if it is at one of the state's beautiful state parks. For this evening's walk, we made our way south to Tims Ford State Park. We love this park because of all the trails that weave around the many hands and [...]
