When you aren’t able to get in your vehicle and go anywhere you want to go, you really appreciate the times you get to go somewhere and learn not to take that time for granted.
Such was today. A wonderful few hours with my wonderful husband and my camera.
The redbuds are blooming everywhere. Beautiful.
The drive up the mountain is pretty, also.
We wanted a burger from the little gas station/store/dive up on the ridge, so that where we headed.
Ok, so now we’ve been there and had their burgers and onion rings and tater tots. And I paid for it this afternoon. So sick to my stomach. Ugggg. At least, I didn’t get sick until we got home.
More going down the road scenes.
Don brought this view to my attention from the barn above. So pretty.
White flowers galore.
Biking enthusiasts enjoying the eighty degree day.
More white blooms.
This is the only tree we saw with pale yellow blooms.
We passed a park on top of Lookout Mountain with lots of color so Don turned in and parked and I went for a walk with my camera.
Wish I could show off and name all the different blooms we saw today.

This is why Don stopped. I said, “Oh, those tulips were beautiful!”
These tiny blue flowers covered the ground.
The only thing missing from this picture is the wedding party. I mean, seriously, what more would you need for decoration?
One of my favorite scenes… anywhere.
A view of Chattanooga.
The Tennessee River
We finished off our date with a little shopping for a couple of outfits for the spring, (I didn’t bring anything but winter clothes.) and a pair of flip-flops. I’m all set for this warmer weather now.
Thanks for our mental health day, brother Jon. We appreciate you very much. Really. You are okay. I don’t care what anyone says.

So many familiar views for me ... and I'm happy you had a little while out in the air to see and do something a little different. I like how you call it a "mental health day"!
Seriously, though, there is no one else as well suited for the job that you are now doing and I'm glad you are there.
Judy said she hopes the flowers are still blooming when we get there onn MAY12th. Was going to ask Don to scout the road out up to camp and find the best way for to take the MH up.
