My favorite time of the day is early evening when I take Bess for her daily walk around the lake. I call her my personal trainer, as she doesn't allow me any slack in the exercise department. Sometimes I'm too tired and want to take a break but her disappointed look with leash hanging out of her mouth turns me to mush. I know it's the only thing she looks forward to everyday so how can I let her down. I'm always thankful when I'm there, as Bass Lake is incredibly beautiful with 25 miles of trails through rhododendron forests that meander along the Blue Ridge Parkway. The quaint little town of Blowing Rock is just a few miles down the road. I'll try to get some pictures of our town to post. Boone is only 8 miles down the mountain and we're all still celebrating our big win last week......Appalachian State against University of Michigan.!!! So proud.
