This past Sunday was absolutely beautiful here on the Plateau.  The temperatures were fairly cool, we had gotten some rain on Saturday, and the sky was a gorgeous blue.

When I lived in North Carolina we said this color of sky was Carolina Blue, but I’m not sure if I should use that description here in Tennessee.  On the other hand orange is the color of the University of Tennessee, so perhaps there wouldn’t be a problem.

Every once in a while a small cloud will sail across Sunday’s blue sky.

But most of the time we just enjoyed that brilliant blue above the trees.

I’ve often said that the Glade is pretty just about any time of the year.  It’s also pretty just about any time of the day, even in the morning when the skies are overcast.  You can see the mountains in the background and the fog in the valley.  The sky isn’t a pretty blue, but it will be once the sun burns away all that fog and haze.

The sky over Fairfield Glade has been interesting this week.   We desperately need some rain, but while there were clouds, that little opening of blue sky always seemed to win out.  The clouds disappeared and any chance of rain went with them.

Finally on a hot, humid afternoon we did get a brief shower.  But once the rain ended, the skies cleared and the mist rose from the mountain tops.

Last night the skies were  clear with a nearly full moon looking down on the Glade.  I was able to get this picture at 8:26 pm.
