I miss the mountains, too, Denise, and so I love reading about them in your books. I know just what you mean about the phantom mountains when the clouds build up on the horizon. After growing up in a valley (Simi Valley) surrounded by mountains, I've found that cloud banks don't quite cut it.
I grew up in the Blue Ridge Mountains and never wanted for sliding places in the winter. Like your part of Indiana, the area around Indianapolis, where I live, is so flat that I wondered if the earthquakes ever produced even a hill! One has to drive quite a ways south of here to find hills. Yes, there are places to slide here, but they are mostly man-made from construction of roads, buildings, etc. However, unlike you, I reserve the clouds for the teddy bears and carousel horses we see in the summertime!
Oh Denise- hardly any sledding hills? AHH! Gee, I've never lived outside the Blue Ridge Mountains and I still want to write about them as much as possible :-) I bet you do miss them.
Did you live near the Blue Ridge ever?
Ahh, mountains. Yes, I definitely relate to your love of them. I've had a yen for them my entire life. I grew up for the most part in Delaware where the highest "hill" is only 331 feet. We had a timeshare in the Shenandoah Valley of Virginia though and it was one of my favorite places to visit.
But by far, the Rocky Mountains claim my heart, and now that I live here, I'll never go anywhere else. Majestic peaks, snow-capped tops, purple mountain majesties first thing in the morning....
Ahh, true heaven...or the closest thing to it yet. :)
I lived in Ft. Wayne in early childhood and we had good friends just over the Ohio state line. They lived in the country and the flat land just seemed to be alot of squares divided by roads. I've lived in TN and PA and now the Kansas City area. Where I live now has more than enough hills for me.
Good to know I'm not the only mountain lover.
No, Pepper, I've never lived near the Blue Ridge Mountains, but I did visit to research for Sweetwater Gap. I grew up in southern Ohio where there were hills aplenty.
I miss the mountains too. I live in Arkansas and it is pretty flat in our area, hills but no mountains. There is just something about mountains that make them majestic.
We have really enjoyed our snowy weather and I still want more!
Will continue to pray for Diann.
