Autumn in Tennessee at Brigid's Wood

This is a shot looking west on Highway 41A on our way home from Sewanee... Brigid's Wood is about a mile and a quarter from the "bustling" village of Sewanee... just ahead turn south on Sherwood Road (Highway 56):
About a mile down Sherwood Road (Highway 56) turn west onto St. Mary's Lane:
Count 4 telephone poles (about 800') and turn left into Brigid's Wood... if you don't turn, you'll end up at the late Sir John Templeton's empty library... not ONE book on the shelves of his multi-million dollar edifice:

Alexis didn't sleep a wink worrying about our "little boys" (most dogs are "little" compared to our 120 pound "Big B").

Rattlesnake Springs Road is over 3 miles from Brigid's Wood so it's a good bet Mose-bose and Boone-dog were lost. We brought them home and they crashed all day... here's Mosby on Baxter's bed:Here's Boone-dog sawing logs:Baxter was exhausted just thinking about their little juvenile delinquent caper:
