On Good Friday we also went to Ft. Dickerson, a Union Civil War Fort located about 2 miles from us. It houses three or so cannons and some gorgeous views of the city. For those of you who might not know, Knoxville was highly Union-sympathetic and 3,000+ Knoxvillians joined forces with the Union during the war (officially--some mountain people, calling secession and the like a 'rich-man's war' literally took to the hills to avoid fighting for the Confederacy.) In Cades Cove in our nearby Smoky Mountains, there are gravestones that read, "Killed by a Rebel Soldier" at the Methodist Church...)....Anywho...here is a picture of Xander and I on one of the cannons.
Notice that Xander wasn't wearing a jacket and neither am I. It was 70 degrees that day (two days ago)...
Notice the weather report for today...

..."Good evening ... Snow flurries will taper off with clearing skies and very cold temperatures again overnight. ..." (wbir.com)

Are you in Tennessee or are you in Minnesota???
Can't wait til we see temps in the 70's here. The photos are beautiful. I don't really dig gazing balls, but that's just me..

Hey, Chrissy! I love your blog. I miss you guys terribly and can't wait to spend time with you in June. I need to get me some bbq and pancakes! We need to shop for skin products at that fun lotion store in Gatlinburg. Easter here was dreary...30 degrees and 4 inches of snow. I must tell you about the ham.
What is up with no one digging gazing balls?
