Foggy morning

Mom's backyard on a foggy morning

It is so peaceful and scenic up here at Mom's..This trip I am spending a month with Mom to help her in her recovery from surgery..There are many opportunities and places to take long walks around Mom's neighborhood... I am in love with my curious furry friends who come out to to say hi every time I pass by :-) While on this trip, I met an old friend, Robert Stone, face to face for the first time..We spent an afternoon walking in Sewanee..Nadine, Mom's best friend, came down to visit us during my last week in TN.. It had been several decades since I saw Nadine the last time.. Nadine loves to travel... Give her a tank of gas and a map and she is in heaven.. Like I am when I have a bunch of energy and inspiration and my camera close by. Nadine is nearing the end of her summer of explorations and visits with friends..She will head back towards Washington which is her home ....This has  been an unforgettable trip..While here, I found out that a close photography friend/former coworker passed away around the first of the month....He was only 45 or 46, as far as I knew he was in fairly good health..May he rest in peace...

I would go out and sit on the deck sometimes..On this morning I watched some fallen leaves float by :-)

When Mom, Nadine and I were headed back from eating out, we spotted this house and loved it..Nadine stopped so that I could get out of the car and take this picture :-)
