I find peace behind your writing. It's a lovely Oconee spot and you just brought it to life for me. I think I need to take my sketch pad and work on some watercolor and poetry.
Thanks for sharing this lovely meander. I love the history of the land part, and especially the details about the place where you could buy both a pulled pork sandwich and a crescent wrench. There once was a restaurant in Atlanta's Grant Park called D's Soul Food and TV Repair, which, too, is relegated to those of us with long memories and a hankering for fried chicken. Setting out to look for American Beech trees on my woodlands hike today. Will send photos!
Greetings from Western Maryland in the shadow of Catoctin and Sugarloaf Mountains on the edge of Frederick County. A hike is in the offing this afternoon. This area is still new to me. I was surprised by crossing the Appalachian Trail. It’s so remarkably quiet this close to DC.
This fall on the road we have been “chasing” the season. Early autumn in Williamstown, KY; peak autumn in Athens, AL; waning autumn in St Louis, then driving to more rich color in Jonesborough, TN.
And now I have new respect for beech trees. I’ll keep a lookout for them.

I love that, Cass. I look forward to seeing it.

So glad you liked it, AF. So glad we share some of those memories. I look forward to seeing your beech trees.
Beautiful meditation, Ron, I will notice beeches now
Thank you, Annette. I'm so glad you liked it.

Thanks, my dearest friend, for this update.
You have a beautiful writing spot among the beeches.
Thanks Janisse. I loved the hours spent there.
