I'm still loving them... source This is brilliant! An old floor lamp turned into a planter pedestal. source The colors and textures are amazing! source This silvery green with the vintage silver is an elegant combination. source Planted between stepping stones. source They look good in so many types of containers. source A succulent fountain...sublime. In other news....I have a mouse infestation. Violet caught one last week. So far I've trapped six of them. Yuck.... They are so cute...I hate to kill them. But I cannot live with mice in the house. I knew something was going on over a month ago but just didn't deal with it. I hope to get it under control soon. Violet had to go to the vet yesterday, her back was bothering her and it scared me. She is doing better today. Some friends of mine have asked if I will ever do dachshunds again after my recent troubles. I will, I love them too much. I'll just have to deal with the heart break. None of my mother's or my sister's have had any back problems. Knock on wood. Violet should be fine with a little rest. Tweet

Cumberland Gap, TN Back in May when Mr. G and I took a quick trip to The Smokies, we drove back on the state highways as we usually like to do. We love to hunt down covered bridges and had no idea they had one here for a railroad. On HWY 25E you will find Cumberland Gap, TN which is nestled against the south (Tennessee) side of the Cumberland Gap. It's actually kind of tricky to find, so you might want to use your GPS. I only knew about this place, because a friend shared this secret years ago. Here are some more drive by shots I got of this cute little quiet town. A tour of this later. Hwy 25E & 25W also hosts a KY-TN yard sale the first weekend in June. So maybe you'd like to check this place out, if you go on that yard sale in the future. ******************* Thanks to: Photoscape for downsizing, watermarking photos & editing. *********************** Please see my "Linky Parties" link above
