Thanksgiving Trip

We had a wonderful trip to Beavers Bend.  We enjoyed the beautiful change in scenery.  The colors of the leaves were amazing.  I thought all of the leaves would be off of the trees by the time we made our trip but to my surprise the majority of leaves were still on the trees. As we got closer to our destination it reminded me of eastern Texas.  Huge pine trees and the colors were deep reds, burnt oranges and bright yellows and then the deep green of the pines, well it was so beautiful.

They have these beautiful rocks in that part of the state.  They are white and they glisten and some have streaks of orange.  They are very unusual. The picture of the huge shrub is a rosemary bush. I've never seen one that large before.

The log cabin was deep into the woods on top of a hill. Our bedroom faced the east and was upstairs. We had a beautiful view of the forest from our bedroom and was priviledge to see the beautiful sunrise every morning.  The days were warm and we enjoyed all of the outdoor rooms.  Sitting listening to the quite, watching all these beautiful colors fall from the sky as a breeze would break the leaves from their home. The timing of our visit was perfect. Perfect days to go hiking, found a waterfall and a old bus, did a little fishing but no takers, wonderful experience to sit in warm hot tub on a cool night and enjoy the stars.  I was disappointed in the winery.  I was hoping to see how they made the wine.  We enjoyed the tasting and brought back a couple of bottles to enjoy during the holidays.

I was a little sad when it was time to go.....it just passed too quickly.
