Today is the last day of my visit home…I thought it would be fitting to spend my last morning in solitude, alone in the mountains. I woke up before daybreak and drove through the darkness and heavy fog to the Blue Ridge Parkway.
I settled in at the Thunder Struck Ridge overlook and was overwhelmed with the view laid before me. The “Honey” moon of June was shining brightly above the blanketed mountains below and only the highest peaks were visible. It was breathtakingly beautiful. I had a long chat with the big man upstairs and became certain I was at the edge of heaven.
I couldn’t bring myself to leave, so I spent the better part of two hours drinking in the delicious view. On my way back down the mountain, I spotted two black bears and six wild turkeys! Goodness Gracious! What an amazing morning! Happy Friday to you all!!
