Homesteading is awesome!

I followed the whole Anthony Trial. The book bring some details out that I find very interesting. The whole prosecution team was amazing.

Hiking, Hawks and Halloween

Lately, we have been doing a lot of nature outings.

Cloudland Canyon

One of the most beautiful parks in Georgia.

Family Camping with the Cub Scout Pack

~

Thankfully Kailen was strong enough to save his brother.

~

Of course I had to bring knitting.

I love knitting by the fire.

~

It was quite chilly that night with temperatures in the 30's.

~

The view was spectacular during the day.

~

Amazing!

Brrrrrrrrrrr!!

Hiking

It would have been nice to see this sign BEFORE half the hike was over.

Etowah Trails

http://www.campnpost.com/tag/etowah-trail/

This is one of the nicest trails I have been on. And I am so proud of Kailen and his troop for all the hard work in maintaining and creating this trail.

~

It's a beautiful place to be.

~

I was wearing this hat to ward off the hunters.

 

Do not kill the deer please.

 ~

We found a lot of blood in some spots and a poor animals entrails. 

 

~

Note to self: Try not to watch movies like "Wrong Turn" before hiking on isolated trail.

An old graveyard to start out the hike.

I was hoping to see some zombies.
