Stream At Backbone Rock.....

Since it's so hot here, I thought this picture would be pleasant to see today. The stream is at Backbone Rock.... Wouldn't it be nice to put your feet in this cool, cool water? We might have to make a trip there just so I can do that!!! It's 85 degrees here already and it's only 9:00 AM. Stay COOL....everyone!!!!!

Clara....in TN said...: I haven't seen a leech since I was small. Of course, I haven't been wading in the streams that much. They may be there.; 10:41 AM

Rachel said...: It sure is hot Clara. Mercy!! The heat index here has been 110 or so. Best to stay inside under the AC!!

I was telling my husband how blessed we are to have AC these days. Inagine in the old days he would just have to lay there and sweat and have the windows open and pray for a breeze! Wouldn't that be awful?!; 9:14 PM
Moobear said...: I wish I were there right now Clara! I think that is why I enjoyed the coolness of Steph's pool the other week as I had not been in one in over 30 years. I would love to just sit in this stream..lol..
Have a blessed day my dear friend in TN! Take care and I hope Bill is doing well.; 9:29 AM

Jamie Dawn said...: It's hot here in Hickville too. When we decided to move from CA and become southern hicks, we knew we would have to start learning to say "y'all" and stuff like that, but we just can't get used to this humidity.
I'm so thankful for air conditioning!!
That stream looks so refreshing.; 7:44 PM

WHERE I'M FROM........

I am from hayfield and blackberry patches, gathering eggs and selling them to my Daddy in his store. I am from a house with no bath....but a path. I am from cherry trees where I climbed and ate more than I carried home.....from digging potatoes in the rich earth. I am from skinny dipping and swinging on grape vines, two room school house, sitting on the front porch while my Mother played the guitar.....wringer washers and wash tubs. I am from playing the piano, the accordian and making playhouses in the woods....hide and seek, jumping rope and May I. From: Raleigh's Liniment, Cracker Jacks and Castor Oil.....Revival Meetings and Baptisms in the river....catalogs and feed sack skirts. From: "Pretty is only skin deep" to "Always mind your manners." I am from Methodist, Baptist, Wednesday night prayer meetings and shouting Hallaujah. I am from the Volunteer state of Tennessee with lakes and mountains, race cars, beans, cornbread and red eye gravy. We always called it "God's Country." I am from family get togethers, dinner on the ground, singing with my sisters, a Mother with a heart of gold and a Daddy with a strict hand. A grandfather who always looked to see if I had my fingernails painted and a Grandmother who could squeeze your heart out! Yes, I came from a family of seven siblings and I have told you where I came from. It was wonderful and I wouldn't change a thing if I could. Now let me tell you where I am going...."To Where The Streets Are Paved With Gold." Some days, I can hardly wait!
