Lake views

I've taken to walking on the dikes above Lake Hartwell with Woody in the mornings.

The winter views are open and lovely, and the light clear with winter's low humidity.

I'd walked occasionally on the dikes over the years, but there's something now about the expansiveness of the view that draws me now, and I've become a "regular," I suppose.


It's a grounding walk -- I'm mindful now of leaving the Upstate for the mountains of Western North Carolina in a few months for the final time.

And shedding the saved articles, folders, memorabilia, and stuff etc. of decades (both related to work and home) -- hmm.  Both much harder than I ever anticipated, but freeing too.

A lovely morning walk

Beaver Lake in mid-morning
There's a human-created lake (Beaver Lake) in North Asheville that's truly magical. 

It's a neighborhood lake, supported by the surrounding community, with the only "fee" being for boaters and dog-walkers.

I admit that we've been scofflaws, bringing Woody for walks without the annual permit for dogs (but always picking up after him, when needed!)  

But we'll be happy to contribute to their permit program when we're up here full-time.
