And several times opening the door to find one a few feet away in the dark. <br />I don't know if I can ever say I have been scared to the point of wanting to live somewhere else.<br />As to the flowers they are blue and white. I am not finding the name of them, but they are everywhere right now and beautiful.eaglebearhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07120390534213389147noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4346153408575448055.post-52554127187178747922010-05-25T19:48:43.252-07:002010-05-25T19:48:43.252-07:00Hi Paula! we were up there last week (Sun-Sun)and...Hi Paula! we were up there last week (Sun-Sun)and that area of road was so scary, knowing it is where you went down. I couldn't believe it did not have an orange cone or something to warn drivers.<br />also...on a lighter note. In our driving around the mountains, we came upon large areas of beautiful blue flowers on Painter Leetonia, right at the CCC camp site. Do you konw what those flowers are? Never saw them before. From the road almost looked like forger-me-nots.<br />we had a very relaxing week. I miss it already!!!! Except for the scare! Friday night at 9:30 we were quietly sitting reading when out of the blue a knock came on the front bedroom door, which we do not use. Out there, in what seems to us like the middle of no-where, with no other human around for several miles, I almost panicked! I yelled, who's there? but the knocking continued. then I turned out all the inside lights and turned on the outside spot lights, which light up all around the cabin except the front! John said maybe it is a porcupine. Then I got brave and shone the flashlight out through the curtain,and there was a huge porcupine on the little stoup!! I was relieved, but my heart pounded for awhile! I thought of you up there all the time and wondered if anything ever frightens you and Lee?? but then you have your dogs, which I assume gives you a bit of a feeling of protection.elainenoreply@blogger.com
