Breathtaking Beauty

Well, as you probably know by now, we are moving to Tennessee. Dada starts his new job on May 5th. He and mama went to Sparta this weekend to meet people and look at houses. Gigi and I had a wonderful weekend together! I guess I'm going to have to start sharing my blog and branching outside the busy days of just Dawson. So, "here ya go Mama." You can borrow it today.
*****************************
Many of you have asked to see pictures, so here are some of my favorites. The above pictures are from a scenic overlook which is located in Sparta.
This is actually the "side yard" of a person's home on a residential street.
This is the view from a beautiful home on "the bluff" - which is a residential area known as Rim Rock Mesa.

This is the view from a residential area on Story Mountain.
the side view of a home in one of the popular neighborhoods - known as Gillen
This is actually the "side yard" of that house and right in the middle of the neighborhood. Many of the homes in the residential areas have farm land - or "side yards" - as I like to call them. It's not unusual for there to be cattle in your neighbor's backyard.
The crazy thing about this is that the "natives" think nothing of it. They laughed at the realtor for taking us to the scenic overlook. This beautiful area causes you to truly step back and take in the amazing wonder of God's creation. As one of our new friends said so perfectly yesterday, "it is good for the soul."
