Forty mile an hour wind gusts hurried me along today as I prepared to leave Heartland RV Park in Kentucky. The first day of winter saw me playing tug of war when I put my kayak on the car roof and the wind pushed it to the edge and I pulled it back. With one tie-down secured I worked fast getting the rest. The wind chill was 11 degrees.
When I pulled out onto the highway an hour later, I was so grateful to feel warmth coming back to my toes and finger tips.
Two hundred miles later I found the Dumplin Valley Farm RV Park in the Smokey Mountains of Tennessee, my stop-over home for the night. I’m in a field with my neighbors: two silos and lots of black, black cows.
Gatlinburg and Dollywood are southwest of me but I am heading directly south tomorrow.
In the restroom I found a clock with an appropriate motto: Reposez-nous et perchoir. Loosely translated means Stay, Rest, Relax.
I think I’ll do just that!
Love, Annie









Safe travels Annie!
Happy Holidays to you, Teresa!
Wow, colder there than in PA. It got cold today though but still in the 30s. Wind picking up too. Beautiful pictures of the sky. And I especially like the silo one. Awesome. Safe harbors Annie.
Moving on to warmer climes today……early!
Thank you!
It is really windy here too. It is blowing my yard santa all over the yard. I grabbed it before it blew away. Be careful in the wind driving.
Tough day steering in the wind. Calmer today! Thanks so much for being there!
What a cute, little place! Hope you had a good night sleep.
I slept like a lamb….I mean, like a black, black cow!
