Seems to me we all live in the metaphorical Garden of Eden and can find the beauty where we live and everywhere we go if we take the time to look and notice it.

That barn is quite spacious - Fred, Ginger, Nakoma and Monacan definitely managed with much less - they would have had a hay day in that sized barn ;) Pretty picture of the 'skies'! No leaves or flowers yet here - lucky you to see the signs of Spring coming - I'm ready NOW!Carrienoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4309293625176086078.post-17418271811682712802014-03-15T09:06:51.297-04:002014-03-15T09:06:51.297-04:00No fun to replace phones/computers/technology in g...No fun to replace phones/computers/technology in general.

I know there are other places to see, but we've yet to find another as beautiful as The Smokies during wildflower season and Knoxville during the Dogwood Festival! I have loved your in depth posts about Rainbow Springs seeing it in ways I never did as a child when it was a tourist attraction.
