| Monday, Monday |
I thought I'd use a "monday morning green" filter on this photo in honor of the fact that it is yet again Monday. This is the luscious green scene that greets us each time we return home from spending a weekend in Charlotte. I love this view!
Seeing the mountains this way never fails to remind me of the first time I encountered them. Aboard a teeny prop plane on its way to the Asheville airport, I remember staring out of my smudged window, incredulous at the vast amount of trees I was viewing below me. Coming from rural Minnesota, I was used to rows and rows of cornfields and an open road, and not at all familiar with the twists and turns of mountain living! I was flying into Asheville for an interview with a children's book company, one that would thankfully hire me and turn my life upside down (in a good way, of course!)
It's a little hard to believe that it's been 7 years since that first glimpse of North Carolina. 7 years since I left my childhood home and created a new one here. 7 years, two jobs, one husband, two kids, and a house of our own to call home. I am so thankful for this view!Labels: Asheville |

Wow!!! What a view!! My hubby's niece was just here visiting from Charlotte - they love it out there too! Although, they moved from VA so not *too* different of a view from what I hear. ;-) Gorgeous!

I know that view...and that feeling. How did the lovely young lady growing up where the water reflects the sky, meet the dashing young man from the foot hills of the carolinas? For those of us who love your blog, and don't already know your story. True love began...

man...you know that I am jealous! No trees here...unless you count Joshua Trees and Yucca plants ;) oh, and maybe a few oaks, but those are nowhere near as pretty as that picture there :)

I miss those mountains beyond compare!!! I was born and raised in the foothills of NC and it will always be my home!
