.the hills are alive.

What a day! There was nothing to do, no job to go to, no kids to attend to...just a few dogs. So I decided I would take a hike, and invited Crystal to join me. We hiked up to her name sake, Crystal Lake, and just like she is...it was gorgeous! It turned out to be about 5 1/2 hours, 9 miles ish, and we talked the entire time. Pretty sure it was more conversation than I've had the entire summer! And some of the best.








This is a lake. Not Crystal...






The first color of fall!



I am so blessed to have all this beauty surrounding me!






Oh that's my town down there...if you look really
really close you can see my house!

more of Lake City...

And our destination! The water was soo clear, and cold, but we

jumped in anyway!

The hills really are alive...

goodnight.
