Melissa In The Mountains!

First Snow! Well I had decided to enjoy a quiet and productive week in my mountain retreat and got a dose of real winter weather. Tuesday morning I awoke to total stillness, no birds, no breeze, but a delightful white dusting of snow, enough to coat the decks, freeze the plants (I knew I should have brought them in, drat!), and allow tracks!

Hunting Bear! No, I’m not hunting, don’t panic, though I’ve been told to wear orange (hmm, not my shade) for safety, carry a whistle and mace. YIKES! I did have a pack of dogs with radio collars out baying and racing through the woods behind my house yesterday, likely searching for the bear that left the tracks at my front door. I had no idea life in the mountains would be so wild and wooly!

Halloween Celebrations! I’m so excited because I’ve got some great friends all coming up from Atlanta to my housewarming this weekend. I’m going to do appetizers (don’t look so surprised, I can cook well when no caterer is in range!) And then a crowd of us will head out to dinner later. I’m very house proud and promise to have pics in my next issue, been a beautiful transformation.

Prosper by Design, YOURS!
