Goodbye Wisconsin

Well hey there! Hope this weather is what you like - I'd prefer warmer but hey I'll take what I can get. I can tolerate this Wisconsin climate for 16 more hours!! Then I'll be basking in the heat for a long time. I cannot wait to get the move on!! So here's a post to Goodbye Wisconsin and Hello North Carolina.

I don't have any pictures of the van packed or my room empty yet (it's a work in progress) but I will get them up here soon!! I've spent most of my time reading on the hammock, listening to the races at Road America, and counting down the days until I get my life on the road :)  So have a few pretty pictures I scrounged up. When I get to NC, I'll make a post showing off my new place!!

Bluebell Forest, England

1400 year old tree in SC.

Love is our Nature.

Ever sit outside and listen? Like really listen? A river gently carves a path through the woods as the birds whisper songs to each other in the trees. The leaves dance in the breeze that carries the music of the night.
