Wild Wonderful West Virginia...

Climb the mountains and get their good tidings. Nature's peace will flow into you as sunshine flows into trees. The winds will blow their own freshness into you, and the storms their energy, while cares will drop off like autumn leaves. ~John Muir

The Beauty of
West Virginia... First I'm sorry I haven't written in so long... Between me being sick and my mother being in the hospital things have just been crazy. But we made it through the holiday and everyone did just wonderful...

Thanks to a husband being gone for almost a week... I got a lot done!!!

Why is it we can get so much done when there is no one home to get in the way... Not that he is in the way, but when he isn't here I can clean or run the sweeper and not interrupt the TV show he is watching or a business phone call and I can even eat cereal for dinner if I want and nobody cares!!!

When he left we already knew it was snowing in the mountains. We just had no idea how much.

When he showed up at camp the other guys that had been there for a few days, were surprised he even made it there....

The snow was beautiful, but it is hard to walk that mountain with snow up to your knees. Not to mention how hard it is to drag a deer out of the woods. They only drug 2 out, and looked for another, one of the guys shot but they never found it.

He got there on Saturday and on Monday it rained, sleeted, and finally snowed again... So he was Tired...Wet...and Cold...

Really Cold ! It got down in the low teens that night and stayed there..

He came home with lots of pictures, but not a deer. He just didn't want to drag it out of the woods in all that snow. I can't much blame him. He can get one right here and it is a lot warmer and won't have to drag it far!!!
Just visiting, but not an antler in the bunch...
Now I'm going to show you the Natural Beauty of the West Virginia Mountains...


This Turkey got lucky this Thanksgiving... LOL
Trying to clean the cars to go make a phone call... on a pay phone.. No cell service in these mountains....

Well everyone is home now and we aren't expecting any snow here until Sunday. I'm sure it won't be snow like this but a little will be nice.
Have A Good One...
