While I'm really a sunshine state soul trapped in the confines of East
Tennessee, I will admit that this state does have some truly natural
beauty. You can't argue with the rolling hills, the sprawling mountain
ranges, and the endless wildflower fields that stretch on & on.
Being out in nature that awe inspiring can really, well, bring you down
to earth! It's far too often I get distracted by everyday life,
technology/social media, and the need to "keep up with the Joneses" if
you will. Sometimes it's nice to just spend a day out in the real world
(even so, still have to document it! I know, I know - kind of defeats
the purpose it seems, doesn't it?)
Over the weekend the fam & I trekked out to the sunflower fields. One year ago, we were here for the first time, back when I was just a couple months into my pregnancy. This year, I decided to - of course - do a subtle Disneybound & get some cute family photos at the same time. Since we were going to a field of beautiful sunflowers, I felt Punzie was the obvious choice. Unfortunately, the heat had gotten to the sunflowers before we did, so a lot of them were, um, a bit parched to say the least - but beautiful nonetheless to see those sunflowers stretching on for miles in all directions!
