It’s been a wonderful and relaxing few days here in the mountains of western North Carolina.

The views have been spectacular, the hikes energizing and breath-taking.

The walk across the "Mile High" swinging bridge on Grandfather Mountain was scary and thrilling ----and yet I've learned that sometimes you have to force yourself out of your comfort zone to conquer fear and apprehension and sometimes just to be able to say “Yes! I did that!”

I was just not going to let a fear of heights stop me. But I was NOT going to venture out as far as DH and Sadie did:

I know myself enough to know when far enough is FAR ENOUGH!

I’ve spent the morning packing up our stuff and putting the cabin back in order. We’ll enjoy our lunch here – eating the last of the leftovers --- ((Including the best watermelon ever, and that must be a fluke because I have really bad luck at picking good ones!)) and start our drive home --- we may head out to Blowing Rock which is a bit out of our way but – it’s such a beautiful day why not?

And yes --there has been hexie sewing in the car, though I admit to the curves on the Blue Ridge Parkway being a bit of a challenge when it comes to threading a needle! :c)

My off time at the cabin has also been productive!

I’ve sewn and trimmed up about a gazillion Wild & Goosey blocks!

There will be much vacuuming of the floor around my sewing area before we leave too!

But in the mean time --- we plan to enjoy the most of this amazing North Carolina June Sunday ----watching the sun bake off the morning cloud cover and marveling at the beauty of this view from the cabin deck:

Happy Sunday, Everyone!
