My Dad used to tease me and say that I woke up in a new world every day! I think it had a little hidden meaning! heehee!
But today I DID wake up in a different part of the country!
We traveled to the mountains of Western North Carolina to enjoy the last of the pretty Fall leaves and the cool weather!
Our first stop this morning was a drive over to our house.
We’ve moved into a condo
but we still own a house here, too.
Let’s walk around back….
This is a huge Butternut tree!
And a pretty maple out by the shed.
I walked all around taking photos in the cool morning temps!
We even saw a hawk when we drove into the driveway but I missed that pic!
Then we went to our favorite restaurant, Papa’s and Beer!
Now it’s time to read my emails…again…
and spend a little time visiting!
Give me a few days to get caught up!
Remember…I woke up in a new world today!
Do you think he meant that as a compliment?
I sure do miss my Dad…especially in the Fall!
Enjoy your day! ♥

I love your new world Diane. You property and house is just beautiful. I love North Carolina in the fall! I would take it as a compliment!
What awesome Fall scenery Diane! I just love the grounds. Food looked good too, what a happy waitress.
Oh the leaves on the trees are just beautiful!! Fall is such a great time of year. That food looks awesome!! Sounds like you are having a really blessed trip!!
Thank you for sharing your beautiful fall photos. We don't get much of the changing colors here.
Welcome back! The colors are still beautiful here!
NC is gorgeous. I wonder what your dad meant by that comment.... ;P
NC is one of the prettiest states all year round. My husband's cousin use to live in the western part of the state on a hillside, overlooking the beautiful mountains. God is the ultimate artist. His creation of the leaves in fall are awesome!
Your new world is wonderful!
Smiles.

Love your photos. What a beautiful area. Fall is my favorite season, too. I just posted a few pictures of fallen leaves I picked up on a walk in my neighborhood. I need to get out SOON with my camera and take some photos. Our trees are all the colors you have, too! Just gorgeous. Oh..and I think we ALL wake up in a new world everyday!

You must enjoy all the freedom ..travels to many beautiful places and lots of homes to stay at. the trees leaves are wonderful to see. I love the sound of the wind blowing around in the trees sounds like a waterfall.

Beautiful fall foliage!
What beautiful Fall colors!! I am still waiting for my trees to change color...they are taking their time!
Beautiful Pictures... Enjoy them as we have BROWN here now...just waiting for it to turn white:(
My what beautiful colors your world has. It just doesn't get much prettier than that. I think the creator was so loving to give us beautiful things to enjoy in each season. It seems our colors were slow turning but we now have beautiful golden color in our backyard with a little orange coming along. Enjoy all the fall beauty!------ Shannon
Pretty fall colors! They sure are drab here, drats! Enjoy your "visit" to your NC hideaway!
I love the trees this time of year. I visited NC many years ago and I'd love to go back - especially in the autumn. Enjoy your mini vacation and "other" world.
What great pictures, thanks for sharing fall in your part of the country.
Oh gorgeous, I can almost smell the crisp fresh air...Girlfriend what are you doing with a condo and a house...lucky girl!

Enjoy the fall weather and foliage!
I woke in a new world today. I had the flu and today I feel like me!!!
Smiles, Dottie
Wow..what awesone pictures and such wonderful color. I wish I could wake up in a new world once in a while...yours is awesome. I do think your Dad meant it as a compliment. I wish my Dad was still here too. I often wonder if he would like where I am living now..I miss him too.
Enjoy your time in your new world while you can :)
What a beautiful new world to wake up to...gorgeous scenery! I never tire of seeing the autumn colors around the country. Congrats on your new place and thanks for sharing!

Oh look at all the beautiful colors and fun youre having! :D Lovely!
Hugs,
And here I thought you were safe and sound in Florida living right on the beach! I am sort of lost. And it is probably my own fault. I have a terrible time getting around!
so..I was wondering, since I LOVE houses..when do we get to peek inside?? :)
Does it snow there? I know very little about that part of the country. I did live in northern Florida...so know a bit about that state...but...that's about it.
And Maine, but very little about there either.
Did you move?? I mean away from the beach?? Goodness...you wouldn't do that would you?
:)
Hugs,
Mona
What a beautiful place! What a sweet memory of your Dad!
Blessings, Joanne
