The temperatures were cool, the sky was clear, and the views were nearly endless.
Our tree is filling in with leaves and the field is greening.
And we got to go on long hikes in the woods.
Out on the trails enjoying one of the best days Mother Nature has to offer.
So why is this day only "almost" perfect? Look carefully at our neighbors at Cataloochee Ski.
That is the very last patch of snow. Sad, isn't it?

Wings of Doom
December 12, 2024
A simple nightly routine with my dogs led me to face the wings of doom, a hideous creature that lurks in the shadows of my yard.

Beautiful photos, even with that sad little patch of snow! We actually hit a blizzard on our way back from a long weekend hiking with the pooches, they were most thrilled!
I have a question for you guys. What do you use for protection against ticks in all of your woodland hikes? Also why you use it would be helpful as well. π
Oh-oh! I know how sad you feel!
Kisses and hugs

First off the view is so beautiful there and your dogs, I just love them…PS I don’t miss the snow after living up where it gets deep.
We miss the snow too, but all that beauty you have there might just be enough for us to wait for the next winter.

Hey guys. We want to know if it is ok to add you to our friends list. See, Mom is very techno challenged, does not know how to use the reader and basically clicks on our friends list. Sometimes when there is a follow button, and we are followers, she actually remembers to go and find that…..
told ya, pathetic she is. If only I had opposable thumbs! Anyhow, we wanted to check to see if it is ok(and if she can actually do it since y’all are not blogger…sigh)

Are you sure that’s snow? It looks kinda… Maybe someone just tore apart a really REALLY big plushie?

Enjoy the new colors and smells of this earthy green season and let the ANTICIPATION of the first new snow build all through the next months…think how exciting that initial blanketing is!
I’m sorry about the snow. Maybe you need to put it in a bag and tuck it in the freezer, only bringing it out for special occasions?
Not sad for me! the green pix are gorgeous! oh and the sibes aren’t so bad either…
Oh no the snow is going bye bye for real huh? π
Sad and all as it is to see the snow going – all that green looks wonderful too!
take care

Sorry Herd, but I’d be doing a happy dance about the last of the snow! Any chance of sneaking over there and getting one last Cheoah Slide?
It is a shame about the snow going.
Your hiking area is beautiful though, it looks a lot of fun too. π
Oh what a beeyootiful walkie!!
Woofs and Kisses!

No snow, but at least you can go on some pretty cool hikes. I bet the grass and other forest-y terrain holds some good smells.

Your snow is fast dissapearing. Meanwhile the great weather dog in the sky is sending us new snow. Thats right, up to 2 feet in the high Rockies over the next three days. There goes the banana crop, the banana trees were in full bloom. Oh, thats apple trees that were blooming. Sorry.

Sad? I can use it as my private ice skating ring! I’m gathering all my tiny barn friends and as soon as we get our tiny ski rentals we’re on our way. Hold on to that patch!

Snow ALWAYS makes things better – but still, that looks mighty wonderful!
