Today is the 2nd snow day this week. Boo and I stayed in all morning and watched the resort cam of downtown Bryson where we could see Brett working on his building and the snow accumulating at the Great Smoky Mountains Train Depot. Then I asked Brett:
Hey, will you stop by the train depot parking lot and do a snow angel for us?
And I captured it:

It made our morning.
You can view the resort cams live here:

Hope everyone is staying warm today. A few views from our small town of Bryson City yesterday:

And this morning…
Snuggling in with Max who just had surgery yesterday:
Walking to the neighbor’s:
I’m just glad to be here! I was flying back from Seattle on Sunday and my flight was cancelled from Atlanta to Bryson City. I had just gotten off a long flight at 7pm:
Because of the forecast I knew if I didn’t get home Sunday night I wouldn’t be able to get home for a few days…so I rented a car and drove the 3 hours to Asheville to pick up my truck. There wasn’t a single solitary soul at the Asheville airport at 1:30am when I dropped off the rental car. A little eery. I cranked up Ruby, checked her transmission fluid, and drove the remaining hour and half home to Bryson City. As I drove I thought:
I have never been so content, after navigating the cities and airports and highways and rental cars, to get into my rumbling little 1982 truck and drive the rural winding mountain roads of NC at 3am.
And this is what was waiting for me on Monday morning…our first snow in Bryson City. Probably Max’s first snow ever…he’s not so sure about it:
Simply Adorable!!!! Makes me almost reconsider moving back to those Mountains!!!!! Bryson City is such a Perfect Place!!!
Oh my, the snow angel is epic!! 😀 I loved it. We are snowed in here in Southwest Virginia too. 🙂
Making me want to pack up & move to the mountains! Love the beautiful pictures. Thank you for sharing!

Love your thought about being content. Just really resonates with me.
You are in a great place Ashley. I am really happy for you.
LOVE! LOVE! LOVE!
Ashley – My daughter lives 1 mile from the Asheville Airport, so if Ruby gives you problems she would be happy to rescue you.
Love the snow angel, Love the black and white photo of you and Boo, It looks like from the 1920’s.
You could have DH doing all kinds of things by that depot all year! winter: snowshoeing, build snow man… spring bike riding… summer skateboarding or worse walk thru in skindiving gear and flippers. With you guy’s imagination the sky is the limit.
Your husband is awesome!!
