Anne Tansy of Twig work made this beautiful table that sits inside the living room at Heavenly Hideaway Cabin. I like to purchase local art because the western North Carolina Mountains draw a magnitude of talented arts so why go else where. In fact there are craft tours you can take to see the artists in their own studios sponsored by Hand Made in America. Come to Cloud 9 and see all the other regional artwork I have collected.

Pepper, the cow, has a calf

I rarely get to see my own cows having their calf because usually it occurs so early in the morning or night. But Pepper, my favorite cow, because she is such a good mother to her calves and has plenty of milk, gave me the first oppotunity at 4 in the after noon. These pics were taken with a zoom so they are a little fuzzy but I didn't want to disturb this private moment. Look for the white valentine on its little black head. All the other cows came curiously over to investigate. I usually name a calf for whatever renter is staying at Cloud 9 Relaxation Home, but this was too obvious...Valentine is his name.
