Cabin

This quaint little cabin is nestled in Pisgah National Forest. It is part of a simplistic peaceful scene of  yester year maintained by the Cradle of Forestry.

Heirs of George Vanderbilt sold the U.S. government some of the first land to become the Pisgah National Forest and Cradle of Forestry.

While viewing this peaceful setting I found myself longing for the slower, peaceful life of generations past.Time for family and visits from friends...only the natural sounds of the forest to interrupt my thoughts

then I realized...

There would be no microwave, no dishwasher and no fast food. My family would starve! There would also be  no computer to visit my blogging friends!!

That settles it. I'm going to be happy in the present.While nostalgia has it's draw, each era has its'positives and negatives and I'm sticking with the present.

Have a quiet, very modern good week and y'all come back.

Camping

Just getting back in from several days camping in Pisgah Forest. I have really missed having the computer and seeing all of the fun things y'all are doing.We were really back to nature... no phone, no computer, and no electricity. We did have battery powered lights in the RV which was good because it got dark really early deep in the forest.I was careful to take a light with me every time I stepped outside. Didn't want to step on any "Johnny no shoulders!" I love the quiet, peaceful life for a while but I would have never made it as a pioneer woman!

The campground is near Brevard, a quiet little town nestled in the forest. It has lots of quaint little antique shops and thrift stores... just my kind of shopping. I will be posting later about some of my finds but for now just wanted to say hello. I have a lot of blog reading to do to catch up!  It's so good to be back home.
