Monday Musing
Weekly thoughts from our Hu-Dad with the latest updates on his writing projects, the books he's reading, and a gratuitous dog photo of us.
A Job, A House, A Dog, and the Internet
January 22, 2023
Though I didn’t realize the impact at the time, a job, a house, a dog, and the internet combined in one fateful year to change my life forever.
Way Back Wednesday
Each week, we reach back into our vault of over 4,700 previous posts and share a favorite. We hope you enjoy this look back.
Visit Millerton, a fictional small town near Asheville NC, via D.K. Wall's novels. Ordinary people. Extraordinary events.
That is one fantastic sunset! I envy you that view!
Ah…just beautiful. Hope the weather is good for hiking.
Isn’t there supposed to be white stuff in them thar hills? 😉 (Don’t feel bad; while it has been cold lately, we haven’t had a decent snow in AGES – something that makes Dad happy because he doesn’t have to plow the driveway, but makes for a crunchy wrestling mat for us…) But it’s beautiful!

So pretty!

You guys are all surrounded by such beauty. Both of my kids are looking at Boulder, Colorado for their next education adventures – I am sincerely hoping it works out, as I plan to hit the road with the pups and go up and visit and let them hike and play in snow… maybe move there myself someday. Who knows? We are so deprived here by a terrible lack of nature’s beauty except of course for the wide open skies… But I crave mountains! So I love when you share your views.
Is that your view for thesunset?
I am so jealous.
Those pictures were taken during a recent hike on the Blue Ridge Parkway near Thunderstruck Ridge. This time of year, the parkway is closed for the winter near our house and it is one of our favorite winter hiking spots. Unfortunately, many of the trail heads to the trails we like are not accessible in the winter because of closed roads.
