No Place Like Home

The home pictured here lies outside an incorporated town, but the nearest is Jonesburough, TN.

On a 2021 trip in late October to visit our daughter and her family, we spent several days touring the Appalachian lowlands of Jonesburough, Johnson City and Elizabethton, then drove on up into the Appalachian Mountains and the Blue Ridge Parkway chasing more fall colors. 

As evident in this photo, we did not have to go far to find some splendid color, especially at this property. The judiciously planted maples line a scenic lane that leads to this property off to the left, while below the home, the fresh cut field of grass and the cattail-lined pond frame the scene. Add in the changing backdrop forest colors of rich greens, orange and yellow and you have a perfect fall photo with a classic style Tennessee home that just beckons a visit. What a view these owners must enjoy. The rural scene is almost a siren song, singing out a bewitching melody, seducing the viewer to make this place their home, and inspiring the title we have given the photo, “There’s No Place Like Home.”
