September, finally! Still hot, but not freaking hot like last week. Ten days above 100 degrees. What's that all about? So we drove the fam to this amazing place, Sweetwater Creek State Park and hiked for miles. Saw snakes and lizards and turtles, oh my! We skipped rocks and sang songs. For a while little Will was clapping together two rocks a la Monty Python. We met the stranger....I mean ranger and he mentioned his guided hike. We visited the ruins of an old mill and after the hike walked through the visitor's center to learn more. Folks were romanticizing the ol' mill and saying bad, bad things about Sherman for burning the thing down. Funny how there was a huge display of the slaves picking cotton (for the mill) and making bricks (for the mill)that they breezed by. Guess we only need to remember what we want to.
Off my yankee soapbox. Gorgeous day. love my family immensely. Didn;'t want to leave it was so perfect!
