 I am a mountain woman. I have lived in the Southern Appalachians all of my life, as did my parents, my grandparents, my great-grandparents, and so forth. My family tree shows that I have ancestors living here before the Revolutionary War.

I've never been out of the mountains for more than two or three weeks at any time, and being in flat places makes me nervous.

I'm also terrified of storms, which I attribute to living in a place that doesn't have many. :)

So, Day One in my life is Mountain Laurel.

A perfect opening photo for you, and a terrific "short story" to go with it.

lol - being in flat places makes you nervous. DO NOT come visit me - it's about as flat here as you can get. I love mountains - you are so lucky!

These are very pretty flowers! I love seeing the details on the green design.

This is very pretty, I'd imagine your part of the world is as disconnected and beautiful as where I'm originally from, I look forward to seeing it.

Oh, so pretty. Great story, too. I'm a small-town hill-dweller myself, although I'm only third-generation in one direction and maybe fifth or sixth in the other (actually, before that, "we" were much closer to your neck of the woods). I too have lived here my whole life and left only for brief vacations. So I know where you're coming from with that.

Thanks for sharing the photo, and yourself, with us. :) Nicely done on both counts.
