I'm grateful to be back in the mountains after a few days in town.  Some of my family from Virginia came in to visit and my cousin Judy fell ill while she was here.  She is recovering and we hope she will be fine so send positive thoughts Judi's way.  But we did have a good visit at Mom and Dad's house and a great Fish Fry.

    Before our much needed rain came in I was able to do some hiking and take in some beautiful sights.  The wildflowers are coming out everywhere now except at the highest elevations.  I saw some Spring Beauties on the slopes of Mt. LeConte.

    The trails are a joy to hike in the cool Spring weather.  I hope you can get out as soon as this spring rain clears.  Keep my Cousin Judy in your thoughts and Prayers.
