Living on the side of a mountain is not easy...all those hills to climb, clinging on the edge of the bluff....
The natives in North Carolina, live mostly in the valleys and the foothills, the summer folk live on top of the mountains.
I live in the valley. There is an old saying "It's better to have a friend with a boat, than to have a boat" which I have changed to "It's better to have a friend with a mountain view, than to haul everything you own up the side of a mountain!"

Nice one, Carol. I do have a soft spot for those old barns.
ReplyDeleteGetting up the steep "driveway" (hah!) to my parent's mountaintop home was a terrifying ordeal, particularly when my daddy said make sure to hang to the outside of that last hairpin turn or you "won't make it" -- Can you say "white knuckles!"
ReplyDeleteLovely colors and so reminiscent of the NC mountain landscape.
