My Tennessee Home

Those of you who know me well know that I love that I grew up in TN. I love the mountains, the mild seasons (except summer-too hot!), the heritage than runs so deep & appalachian culture. My Dad grew up on a farm in an area affectionately called "stinking creek", this is not a name that represents the beauty of this area. The address is actually Pioneer, TN which is much more fitting in my opinion.

I took these photos when I was home at christmas. We had our first real White Christmas in Tn since 1976 I think. It was really beautiful. We were actually snowed in for a couple of days because the area in pretty rural & it takes some time for the snow plows to make it make into the mountains.

View from the left side of the front porch.

Down the hill to the right you can see my Grandpa's old barn. Still standing.

A couple of apple trees.

View out the kitchen window up the the field. It's pretty common to see several deer or turkey wandering around up there. We also saw a bobcat this year when we were home.

Front porch center view...This is my favorite.

Now, do you see why I look forward to visiting my TN home? Wide open space with lots to explore.
