Don't know where you live but here in the Blue Ridge Mountains of Southwest Virginia it is really cold. The kind of cold that makes you ache. Dutchie and I took a little trip on the Blue Ridge Parkway the other day. You may wonder how the Parkway could be open, well it isn't. The parkway is completely frozen over and probably won't thaw before March. Dutchie and I walked down to Mabry Mill from The Meadows of Dan area (about 1 1/2 mile each way so that I could get a picture of the mill frozen as it usually does every year about this time. After falling a few times and Dutchie chasing every deer in sight I was rewarded with the spectacular view that I had gone for (see pic) This is always a picture postcard scene and this year was not a disappointment either. The geese at the bottom of the frozen paddle wheel were having a grand time in the nearly frozen pond and Dutchie was trying to figure out how to get to them. After our walk back we stopped and ate at the newest restaurant in the Meadows of Dan, Two By Two Bar-B-Que. You need to stop in if you want authentic Carolina style pulled Bar-B-Que as it is really good. Hope you are enjoying your new year and hope we thaw out soon.
