Hello, October --

It couldn't be a more beautiful time to be in eastern Tennessee.
It's 70 degrees and the air is clean and cool in the mountains... And it's Autumn in all its glory, the hills alive with green, red, bright orange, yellow, purple, and today they're up against a clear blue sky.

We were at Milligan College last night, playing a show to a fabulous audience that gave us a warmer welcome than we could have hoped for. We also got to see old & dear friends (we love you guys!), and met new friends who grew up in the tiny dot of a town that I called home during my early childhood. Who knew.
We woke this morning in a beautiful home on campus, to the clear light of an Americana October morning, and the sound of the breeze blowing through the great tree out the 2nd story window. Amazing --
On my run, leaves were falling in a shower all around me along the tiny winding roads... Justin and I sat out on the front porch for a while when I returned and watched them fall across the front yard. It was a beautiful place to breathe.

Such a beautiful time to have our eyes wide open --
