Sheepish

Some of the hair sheep here in the cove.   It is wicked cold this morning.  Hard for me to believe I will be 50 in two weeks.

Abrams Falls and Fall TM convention

That Archie he does clean up well.

The inimitable "Umbee" Silken Windhound extraordinaire.

Fall is a beautiful time to hike in the Smokies or just to drive through Cades Cove if you have a chance.

October 2011 we (Archie and myself) went to the Toastmasters International District 63 convention/competition there are some photos here from that. That was a Friday and Saturday night then on Sunday we had the day free so we buzzed over to GSMNP and did the Abrams Falls hike. It's around 5 miles round trip, and not terribly difficult but very scenic. I actually got a photo of two wild turkey males squaring off which was kind of cool. The fall color was just starting to become evident although it wasn't as widespread as it would be probably two weeks later. While Umbee did not get to go on the hike (Dogs are not allowed on the trails at GSMNP) he did get to go and loves to travel. Enjoy!
