Summer :)

Does anyone know what this is?

I had the privilege of hiking the Eyebrow Trail with a couple of hiking friends.

This is looking down our valley and on the far distant mountain there are wind mills.  Also the closest little knoll that you see is Table Rock 

 Lois and Don have hiked many miles with me and are an inspiration to me.  Don is 84 years young. 

 There is a small rocky area where we had a snack.  You can feel free to eat after you have worked your way up this trail.  

 It is always amazing to see where trees can grow.  

 The sound of this little waterfalls was so peaceful. 

The trail goes up the right side of this cliff and across the top and then joins the AT on the left side to head down a trail to the parking lot.

The music director at our church invited me to go to a concert in Carthage.  This building is up on the side of a mountain about 2 1/2 miles in on a dirt road.  You would never think that talented people would be willing to come way up here, but we spent about 2 1/2 hours listening to the Ashelin group.  The group is made up of 5 sisters from Greenland singing/and playing a wide range of music from Irish tunes, Tennessee Waltz, to songs from the Lion King.    

 Summer is so good : )

  Becca, Richie and the girls invited me to go to the zoo.  

 This is not the lion's cage!!!!!!!!!!!!!

 You could hear this camel making guttural sounds from way off.  I thought the sound was coming from a big lion.

 This was a real hands on zoo!

 Brenna said, " Granny, Granny look a mushroom!"

 The lions and tigers were really focused in on Brenna.  We asked the attendant if it was because of her cute yellow suit and she said no--- they always charge over to the little ones because those are the ones they would like to get really close to.  

 Estella had fun slipping food to a little gator.
