Weather: low 57 degrees, high 75 degrees, partly cloudy
Note the temperatures for the day. Amazing!!
This cool weather is invigorating, resulting in good sleep and early rising. Of course, we usually get up early, so the early rising is not a surprise. However, the cooler weather makes you feel better. It looks as though it will continue for another week or so.
We went out looking for heirloom tomatoes today, but had no success in finding any. Taking it one step further, we didn't find any place that was selling home raised vegetables. It was still fun, however, going out and driving in places we hadn't been to before. If we didn't know better, we would think we were in the mountains. Beautiful hills that many would call mountains, winding roads (not good for Carolyn), outstanding views across the hills, and then throw in the nice weather. What more could we ask for?
In our quest for the vegetables, we drove up Tennessee 25W to Lake City, where we took a county road that was one of the curvy and undulating roads we have been on here. If I had known what I was getting into, I wouldn't have gone that way because of Carolyn's vertigo. She handled it well, and eventually we came to another county road that led us to Tennessee 61 in Oliver Springs. This little town looks like a good place to live.The picture above is looking west across part of Oliver Springs toward Walden Ridge, the eastern edge of the Cumberland Plateau.
This next picture is of some of the windmills that TVA has installed here to generate wind power. I'm not sure how much power these things generate, but the wind doesn't blow here like it does in Texas. By the time we got back home, I was ready to watch some golf, but it was already finished for the day. To our surprise, Tom Watson, the old timer in the field, is still leading. Here's hoping he can hold it together tomorrow and win.
More later, be safe.
