Blue Skies

A beautiful, peaceful, relaxing day at the lake with my bestie.  Folks, it was about 70*F outside!!  And I think I got a sunburn on one side of my face.  It feels so good!  I love this lake so much.  It's my lake, in my state, and there is no where else I'd rather be.

What do you enjoy doing outside during spring?

Do you have a special place that you go?

I want to know!

Outfit | Let the Sun Shine In

I may enjoy rainy, drizzly days, but do you know what I enjoy even more?

SUNSHINE!!

In fact, this describes me perfectly...

So, that being known, is it any wonder I insisted on dragging my family to Farragut today to enjoy the beautiful weather??

It. Was. Glorious.

And with a backdrop like that, is it any wonder I asked my bro to take some outfit pics for me?

Happy Trails, y'all!

I hope your Sunday was as wonderful as mine was!

p.s.

This song has been echoing in my head all day, blessing and uplifting me.  

I hope it blesses you all, too.

Happy Resurrection Day!

He is risen!

And when the sabbath was past, Mary Magdalene, and Mary the mother of James, and Salome, had bought sweet spices, that they might come and anoint him,

And very early in the morning the first day of the week, they came unto the sepulchre at the rising of the sun.

And they said among themselves, Who shall roll away the stone from the door of the sepulchre?

And when they looked, they saw that the stone was rolled away: for it was very great.

And entering into the sepulchre, they saw a young man sitting on the right side, clothed in a long white garment; and they were affrighted.

And her saith unto them, Be not affrighted: Ye seek Jesus of Nazareth, which was crucified: he is risen; he is not here: behold the place where they laid him.

But go your way, tell his disciples and Peter that he goeth before you into Galilee: there shall ye see him, as he said unto you.

Mark 16:1-7

{bold emphasis mine}

I hope you all had a glorious Resurrection Sunday!

The sun was shining and it was 51*F, so my family and I headed to the lake at Farragut State Park.

There was a bit of a cool breeze, but it was so wonderful to be outside and we didn't mind a bit.

Bonnie was brave and got in the water...but not for long;)

beautiful Lake Pend Orielle
{pronounced pond-er-ray}

It's 65 miles long and 1,150 feet deep in some areas making it the fifth deepest lake in the United States.
Farragut State Park used to be the Farragut Naval Training Station during WWII.  Part of the station is still active and is used for acoustic underwater submarine research.  Pretty cool, huh?

And I think I told you all that before in previous Farragut posts...
Well, now you know again;)

This pair of ducks flew in and landed on the water in front of us.

They're so beautiful:)

The Bonnie dog dislikes sitting on gravel/pebbles/anything-that-pokes-her-rear...
...so she sits on me;)

My awesome brother:)
He gets the credit for most of these pictures.
All I did was edit them.
Thanks Alex!

A smug Bonnie thinking how well her "pet" is trained;)

Happy Trails, y'all!
