We’re back from our trip to Tennessee. It is about an eight hour drive, and so it was nice to get home.
And the dogs (really!!) enjoyed barking at the horses....
Waking up in my own bed this morning and not having to go to work today was quite nice. Carl did have to work, and so I lounged around before I tackled mowing the lawn. I read awhile back that scientist claim that the sweet smell of freshly cut grass can relieve stress and make you feel good. I'll admit that after spending the entire afternoon mowing, I'm not feeling any stress, but I am pretty tired. Now I'm thinking how much I would enjoy 4 more days off and THAT makes me feel better!!
***I don't usually (in fact never) advertise on my blog, but this time I am because I know how hard it can be to find a great place to stay with your dogs. So if you or someone you know is planning a trip to east Tennessee and would like a really nice cabin to stay in that is very dog-friendly and is surrounded by beauty, peace and quiet and much more, consider staying at Autumn Dancer Llama Farm
So you are saying that the dogs barked at the horses. I was not sure if that is what you meant. I am glad it was a wonderful time for you and Carl. Enjoy and soak up the next four days.

so glad you and the dogs had a good time. :) and i love mowing grass. :)
ReplyDeleteSounds like a marvelous time was had by all! :). I can just hear the dogs barking at the horses! Lol. It was probably relaxing for them. And yes, it's always good to be home, i think. It's where our hearts reside.
ReplyDeleteAh ha....Goose said it right. So the dogs barked at the horses?
ReplyDeletewhat lovely photos, what a lovely place.
But it is always nice to come home....
It doesn't look like any of that barking was bothering the horses. Glad to hear you had a relaxing time and the dogs enjoyed themselves too.
ReplyDeleteCindy
Welcome home! Glad to hear you all had a good time. :-)
ReplyDeleteTraveling with four dogs takes a special vehicle, but they look like good travelers. I'll bet you and Carl loved having a chance to relax. I LOVE mowing.
ReplyDeleteWelcome home, People and Pups!
ReplyDeleteI looked at the advert for your getaway spot and its just beautiful. My idea of a wonderful place.
Cheers,
Jo, Stella and Zkhat

ReplyDeleteI'm so glad you and Carol enjoyed your little getaway! And obviously the dogs loved barking at the horses! lol I checked out the cabin and it is awesome! My idea of a perfect place to stay, maybe sometime in the future! Have a great week!
ReplyDeleteHi Kim, I hope you aren't having to trudge back to work this morning! I have told you how much we love Tenn. haven't I? WE had an uncle and aunt who had a farm in the southwest of the state and it was wonderful. Used to take the girls there when they were little. Oh course there are so many states we call our favorites-lol. It is nice you got to take the dogs-I counted four? How wonderful to not have to worry about them being at home. Hope you have a wonderful day!
ReplyDeleteHugs, Noreen
Are you saying that the dogs enjoyed barking at the horses?

ReplyDeleteIf I were the dogs, I would have had way more fun barking at the llamas!
ReplyDeleteI'M glad you enjoyed your time off and you are right, it is always nice to get home, isn't it?
It looks amazing. I've already contacted Ginny and we're working on details. ;-)
ReplyDeleteSo happy everybody had a great time!!!! It is always good to get back home no matter how humble!!!
ReplyDeleteWe should be able to talk this week!!!!!! YES????
Beside a great vacation, hope you had some wonderful food, sure hope the guys got enough horsey barking to carny them over till next year, Heeheehee!
ReplyDeleteThe Mad Scots
You need a lorry, with that lot kim
ReplyDeleteSounds like a nice getaway place, but we have dogs that like to bark.
ReplyDeleteWoof! Woof! That's great that you guys went on a vacation with the dogs especially with Todd. Oh I do miss my horse friend Blaze. I never did bark at Blaze. It's a beautiful place. Mom can't wait to meet you next week. Lots of Golden Woofs, Sugar
ReplyDeleteSounds like you and the dogs had a good time. We have stayed at a couple mountain cabins in Tennessee. It really is beautiful and relaxing there.
ReplyDeleteWell they might say the sweet smell of freshly cut grass can relieve stress but it stops up my Lee's nose so bad giving her stress. We are definitely going to write down where you stayed. Lee's father use to have a wonderful barn with a studio apartment over it at Cumberland Lake an we miss it since he died.
ReplyDeleteThanks for stopping by my blog
Sweet William The Scot
We could handle this place quite nicely, Kim! What an amazing place and it was designed for all of you.
ReplyDeleteI know what you mean about mown grass...I smelled some the other day and I immediately thought 'summer'!

And now if only you had more time off.
I know the grass smelled good though,

I am so glad that ya'll and the dogs had such a wonderful time. The pics are beautiful, and the green grass is green, green! I am going to check out this dog friendly place because we go nowhere without Sophie. We actually bought a camper and pull it to the mountains when we go now to keep from staying in a hotel. Thanks for the info!
ReplyDeleteI would bark at the horses too.
ReplyDeleteWonderful that you found a great place to vacation and that you all had such an enjoyable time.
ReplyDeleteWhat a lovely break for you all.The dogs are going to miss the horses! Have they all got sore throats?!
ReplyDeleteLooking forward to our little break next month...when the weather will be better...we hope.

Looks like a great place for a getaway and the pups would love that they can bark! How fun for them!! I enjoy the fragrance of fresh mown grass even though it makes me sneeze a bit.
ReplyDeleteI think this place sounds absolutely heavenly! I've had their site saved since you first posted about it a couple of years ago. We will make it there one day!!! (I hope!)
