windrocks

Our four wheeling trip to the mountains last week was fantastic.  We rode over three hundred miles.  Our longest day was about one hundred miles through the mountains.  We went all the way to an area called "The Flats" which is exactly what it was.  Flat mesa type hilltops with no trees and green grass.  I didn't take my camera four wheeling this time at all, sad to say.  But in this area we saw six wild elks along with some white tailed deer, multiple fantastic views of Tennessee and I found shiny rocks everywhere around there which I really like!  I stuck a few in my pocket to bring home.
 
I wish you could really tell how brilliant these are and how they catch the light.  Amazing.
 







 
These came from a different area of the mountain where my little friend and I were playing in the creek.  Not as pretty as the others but I will not forget where they came from.

weekend shots

What a gorgeous weekend it turned out to be!  Hard to believe we had snow and ice just a few days ago.  I think it is official that spring is on it's way!  After Shaun and I finished cleaning up a couple of downed trees from the sides of our driveway, I went on a woods walk and wound up rock hunting and I found buttercups blooming in the woods!  Kate and I got some valuable play time in and even Tommy got to come outside.  While I was brushing the dirt off my new found rock collection, all my friends, including Cotton (our chicken) came to hang out.  Brace yourself.... I even washed my car!  Inside and out.  Terrible to admit but I am not the best housekeeper when it comes to my vehicles... unless they are covered in mud.  Hope you had a great weekend!  

By the way, I have a special invitation for my facebook group Peppysis!  If you aren't already a member please send me a friend request on FB and I will add you.  You might not want to miss out on this one!
