I just got back from a wonderful overnight time of rest and rejuvenation at the Peaks of Otter Lodge on the Blue Ridge Parkway. I try to do this at least once a month due to current life circumstances. Last night the temperature was in the low 60's and when I got up this morning it was 59 degrees (jacket weather) and a real touch of Fall was in the air. I had coffee on my balcony overlooking Abbott Lake and spent time in God's Word which always refreshes. After that, it was off on a walk around the lake in the brisk morning air but I kept my eyes open for that bear I saw the day before. Not sure who was frightened the most because he took off in one direction and I in the other! I usually try to take some art supplies when I go away so last night, in my room, in front of a big picture window overlooking the lake, I got a stick and started to work. I never know what's going to appear but this cutie showed up. Her expression looked to me like she wanted to break loose and do something out of her comfort zone so she decided to "Dance as if nobody was watching". It made her happy!
She's dancing like nobody's watching!
