A Tennessee Thanksgiving:

Counting Our Blessings Close to Home

hanksgiving has a way of bringing us back to what matters. Between planning the meal, setting the table and making room for one more chair, it’s easy to get caught up in the details. But somewhere between the smell of cornbread dressing and the first slice of pumpkin pie, we’re reminded that gratitude isn’t really about what’s on the table. It’s about who’s gathered around it, the place we call home and the blessings we sometimes overlook. Here in East Tennessee, we have plenty of reasons to give thanks, and many of them are right outside our windows.

Grateful for the Place We Call Home

There’s something special about living in the shadow of the Smoky Mountains. Whether the hills are covered in autumn color, morning mist hangs over a valley or the first hint of winter settles on the ridgelines, the scenery offers a quiet reminder to slow down and appreciate what’s around us. East Tennessee is more than its mountains, though. It’s the neighbor who checks on an older couple before a storm, the church that organizes a food drive and the local business that supports a school team. These everyday acts of kindness make a community feel like home. For longtime residents, these traditions may feel familiar. For those who have recently moved here, they may be part of what makes East Tennessee such a welcoming place. Thanksgiving gives us a reason to appreciate not only where we live but also the people who make it special.

Remembering Our Roots

Tennessee has a long history of people building new lives, often with more determination than resources. Early settlers made their way into the Appalachian region, established farms and communities, and worked hard to provide for their families. Life was demanding, and a successful harvest was never guaranteed. Their experiences were different from

ours, but their hopes remain familiar. People came looking for opportunity, a place to raise their families and the chance to build something lasting. Many of us who have moved to East Tennessee in recent years share that same hope, even if our journeys involved highways and moving trucks rather than rugged trails. Those who came before us helped establish traditions of hospitality, hard work, faith and neighborly support that continue to shape the region. We can appreciate that legacy while recognizing that every generation has a responsibility to care for its community and leave it stronger for those who follow.

A Little Faith and a Lot to Be Thankful For

For many East Tennesseans, Thanksgiving carries a spiritual meaning alongside family traditions. Faith is woven into the history of this region, from small country churches tucked into the hillsides to congregations gathering each week throughout the area. The Thanksgiving table offers a natural place to pause and thank God for the provisions of the past year. That gratitude may come easily when family is healthy and life is going according to plan. It can be harder during seasons marked by grief, financial strain or an empty chair at the table. Still, gratitude doesn’t require us to pretend everything is perfect. It invites us to recognize the good that remains, even when life is complicated. Sometimes that blessing is a joyful family gathering. Sometimes it’s a friend who listens or a neighbor who offers help when we need it most. First Thessalonians 5:18 encourages believers to give thanks in all circumstances.

r See ou e l c i art e on pag 15A

That doesn’t mean every circumstance is easy. It reminds us to keep looking for reasons to be grateful, even in uncertain times. Thanksgiving offers an opportunity to reflect, extend a little grace and remember that life’s most important gifts cannot be purchased or wrapped.

Thankful for Dolly and the Difference One Person Can Make

It’s hard to talk about East Tennessee without mentioning someone who has given this region plenty of reasons to be proud: Dolly Parton. Most of us know that Dolly grew up in a large family with modest means in Sevier County. She went on to become an internationally recognized entertainer, but she never lost sight of the people and places that shaped her. Her connection to the Smokies has helped put East Tennessee on the map, bringing visitors, jobs and economic opportunities through Dollywood and her other ventures. But her impact reaches well beyond music and tourism. In 1995, Dolly launched her Imagination Library in Sevier County, inspired in part by her father’s difficulty with reading. The idea was simple: provide young children with free books and encourage a love of reading. What began as a hometown effort grew into an international program that has delivered hundreds of millions of books to children. That’s something worth appreciating at Thanksgiving. One family’s experience inspired a gift that has helped families around the world give their children a stronger start. Dolly also stepped forward when her neighbors faced difficult times. After the 2016 wildfires devastated parts of Sevier County, her My People Fund provided

financial assistance to families who lost their homes. Following Hurricane Helene in 2024, she and her affiliated organizations committed millions of dollars toward relief efforts in affected communities. We can be thankful for her talent and the opportunities her work has brought to East Tennessee. But perhaps the greater lesson is how she used her success to help others. Her generosity reminds us that we don’t have to be famous or wealthy to make a difference. We simply have to be willing to share what we have. She will be missed.

Carrying Gratitude into the Year Ahead

As Thanksgiving arrives, we naturally think about our families, our health, our homes and our opportunities. But let’s not overlook the smaller blessings: the friend who calls to check in, the teacher who takes extra time with a struggling student or the neighbor who brings a meal when life gets difficult. These are the everyday gifts that hold a community together. This Thanksgiving, let’s enjoy our East Tennessee traditions, appreciate the beauty around us, make time for the people who matter, and let’s offer a prayer of thanks. If we can help someone else, let’s look for an opportunity to do so. Gratitude is more than something we express before passing the turkey. It’s a way of seeing the world and a reminder to take care of what we’ve been given. From the mountains to the valleys, East Tennessee gives us plenty to appreciate. This November, may we be thankful for our roots, our neighbors, our shared traditions and the chance to make this corner of the world a good place to call home.

A Thanksgiving Wish From the Publisher

t seems that everywhere we turn these days, we are reminded of the troubles in our world. From heartbreaking tragedies to financial worries and health challenges, it can sometimes feel as though there is more to worry about than there is to celebrate. Many of us know someone who is struggling, and some of us may be carrying burdens of our own. But even in difficult times, we still have so much to be thankful for. Sometimes, we just need to slow down long enough to recognize our blessings. On October 3, 1863, in the midst of the Civil War, President Abraham Lincoln called upon Americans to set aside a day for Thanksgiving and prayer. Our nation was deeply divided, and the future was uncertain, yet he recognized the importance of giving thanks to God. His message remains a meaningful reminder that gratitude matters, even when life is far from perfect. As Thanksgiving approaches, I find myself reflecting on the many blessings in my life. I’m thankful for my wonderful husband of more than 40 years and business partner, Tim, our fantastic son, daughter-in-law, and grandchildren. I’m so grateful my mother is still with us and continues to enjoy generally good health (she also enjoys East Tennessee)! I’m grateful for this beautiful place we call home, for my health, and for the opportunities and freedoms we enjoy in this country. I’m also thankful for the people who make our work

at East Tennessee’s Mountain Views so rewarding. Our graphic designer and friend, Meredith, deserves special thanks for always helping us meet our crazy deadlines with a smile! To our advertising partners who have trusted us through the years and our readers who support their businesses, please know how much we appreciate you. I’m especially grateful for the first responders who put themselves in harm’s way to help others. And as we observe Veterans Day, let’s remember the brave men and women who have served our country and sacrificed so much to preserve our freedoms. Their service and dedication should never be taken for granted. We may not be able to change everything that troubles us about the world, but we can choose to focus on the good, show kindness to those who are struggling, and appreciate the blessings that surround us every day. Our blessings are many, and I shall continue to count them. Above all, I give thanks to our Father in Heaven, the Grantor of all our blessings. My prayer is that this Thanksgiving, you will find reasons to be grateful, peace amid life’s challenges, and joy in the people who make your life special. From all of us at East Tennessee’s Mountain Views, may you and your family enjoy a wonderful Thanksgiving filled with love, gratitude, and countless blessings!

Hmmm… Life Is Good

8A • East Tennessee’s Mountain Views, November 2026

By Laurie Fox for Our PLACE

s we approach the holidays, added stress and anticipation can creep into our lives. We may feel excited about the celebrations ahead, or we may experience a little anxiety as our schedules fill up. Either way, I find myself searching for simple ways to slow down, relax, and enjoy the moment. My teacher and Moment of Joy came from Kathryn, a participant at Our PLACE. While volunteering, I sat beside Kathryn in our recliners as we enjoyed a nature show. I noticed that when she struggled to find the words she wanted to share with me, she seemed to ease her frustration by simply humming. So, I joined her. Before long, I felt calmer, too. What a wonderful reminder that sometimes the simplest things can make the biggest difference! For people living with Alzheimer’s disease, humming can offer a way to communicate and connect without the pressure of finding the right words. It is perhaps the simplest form of singing, requiring little effort while offering an opportunity for comfort and enjoyment. Familiar melodies may remain accessible even when other forms of memory and communication become more difficult. A childhood song, a favorite dance tune, a beloved hymn, or a melody associated with a special occasion may bring a smile, spark recognition, or create a meaningful moment between two people. Our brains are connected to our voices, breathing, music, emotions, and memories in remarkably complex ways. Research suggests that music and singing can support emotional well-being, social connection, communication, and aspects of memory in people living with dementia. Humming itself has received less scientific study, but it may encourage gentle, rhythmic breathing and relaxation. Music-based activities can be a valuable complement to dementia care. So, the next time you are with someone who is living with Alzheimer’s, consider humming a familiar tune together. There is no need to get the words right or even sing the melody perfectly. Just enjoy the moment. Sometimes, the most meaningful communication doesn’t require words at all. Kathryn’s daughter, Rebecca, gave me another reason to smile when she described dropping her mom off at Our PLACE as sending her on a cruise, with all the fun activities

and experiences throughout the day! What a beautiful way to describe the joy, connection, and sense of adventure that can come from spending time together. This holiday season, may we all remember to pause, take a breath, share a tune, and discover that even in the simplest moments, life is good. Hmmm… life is good! If you’d like to learn more about Our PLACE Memory Day Center, the daily activities and experiences we provide for individuals with Alzheimer’s or dementia, and the support available to caregivers, drop me a line at laurief@ourplacetn.org.

We Hear With Our Brain—Not Just Our Ears By Robert Ferraro, BC-HIS

lthough we often say we “hear with our ears,” the truth is far more interesting: we hear with our brain. The ears are simply the delivery system, capturing sound waves and converting them into electrical signals. But the meaning, clarity, and intelligibility of those sounds—especially speech—are constructed entirely by neural networks deep within the auditory cortex. Hearing is fundamentally a cognitive act. Sound begins its journey when vibrations enter the ear canal and stimulate the hair cells of the cochlea. These hair cells encode frequency, intensity, and timing cues, then send that information along the auditory nerve. But this raw data is not yet “speech,” nor is it meaningful. Only when the signal reaches the brain does true hearing occur. The auditory cortex analyzes patterns, separates speech from noise, identifies voices, and interprets linguistic content. Additional brain regions integrate memory, attention, and context, allowing us to understand not just what was said, but who said it and why it matters. In people with hearing loss, especially sensorineural loss, the brain receives degraded, incomplete, or distorted input. Over time, this reduced stimulation changes the way the auditory cortex functions. Neurons that once specialized in processing fine speech details—like consonants, timing cues, and rapid transitions—become less efficient. The brain begins reallocating resources, often shifting auditory-processing regions toward other cognitive tasks. This phenomenon is sometimes described as “auditory deprivation,” and it leads to a measurable decline in speech intelligibility even when sounds are made louder. The challenge is not simply volume; it is clarity. When the cochlea fails to deliver clean, detailed signals, the brain must work harder to fill in the gaps. This increased cognitive load can make listening exhausting. People often describe speech as muffled, jumbled, or too fast, especially in noise. Over time, the neural pathways responsible for decoding speech lose precision, making it harder for the brain to separate voices from background sound or to follow rapid conversation. Ultimately, hearing is a partnership between ear and brain. Protecting both is essential for maintaining clear, effortless communication throughout life. Early treatment of hearing loss, such as hearing aids or other amplification, helps preserve these neural pathways with consistent stimulation. When the ear passes richer auditory input to the brain it helps to maintain its ability to process speech. And on the brain’s part, there is “physical therapy” that can be done to help restore the auditory cortex function. For example, structured listening exercises that strengthen neural pathways and improve speech understanding.

WHAT’S YOUR LEGACY?

By Joe Roybal

n March 1970, Vinko Bogataj competed in the World Ski Flying Championships in Oberstdorf, West Germany. A gentle snow falling as the competition began turned heavy with windy conditions by the time the 22-yearold Bulgarian took his place at the top of the ramp for his jump. Midway down his run – his vision hampered by blowing snow – Bogataj lost his balance, violently flipped off the ramp and suffered a concussion and broken ankle. That disastrous run – later dubbed as “the agony of defeat” – famously became the bookend to “the thrill of victory” in the intro that iconic sportscaster Jim McKay iterated EVERY Saturday afternoon for years on ABC’s “Wide World of Sports.” Bogataj retired from competition a year later and lived quietly in relative

anonymity in his native Slovenia. But, in 1981, ABC invited him to join in the 20th-anniversary celebration of its acclaimed sports program. Unaware of his huge celebrity status when he arrived in New York City, Bogataj was shocked when he received the loudest ovation of all the famous athletes introduced, many of whom, including heavyweight boxing champion Muhammed Ali, asked him for his autograph. Like Bogataj, we leave behind us impressions unbeknownst to ourselves. Most of us have attended celebrations of life where we learn treasured insights into the backgrounds, challenges, accomplishments, humor and humanism of the deceased. The experience often leaves us more grateful for their acquaintance and wishing we’d had more time together. How do you want to be remembered? How would your loved ones eulogize you

ADVENT AT SHEPHERD OF THE LAKE

By Pastor Phil Vickers

his season at Shepherd of the Lake Lutheran Church, we are excited to be continuing some very old traditions and are also adding something new. On Sunday November 29th, we begin the season of Advent. Advent is the season of waiting. In our readings, we will be hearing the words of those from the Old Testament who waited for the coming of the Messiah, and we will be preparing in our hearts to celebrate his birth. Each Sunday in Lent we will have a very special service full of beautiful music, and each Sunday we will light a candle to mark the Sundays of the Season as it leads us to Christmas. We are also honoring this special season with midweek services beginning at 5:00pm. These services will be quiet and reflective. Following the service, we will enjoy a soup supper and fellowship. There is also something brand new happening here at Shepherd of the Lake. We have recently completed construction of our brand-new garden area. The Shepherd’s Garden features a blue spruce that we will use as our outdoor Christmas Tree! It is still a little on the small side, but we look forward to growing with it in the years ahead. On Monday December 7th at 5:00pm we will have a special tree lighting service in connection with a St. Lucia procession. St. Lucia processions are a time-honored Scandinavian tradition honoring St. Lucia who is said to have brought food to Christians who were hiding out to escape persecution. The procession will move from our Advent wreath in the sanctuary to our Christmas tree. Those processing will carry candles to remind us that Christ lights the way even in the darkest time of the year. We are happily doing this in coordination with the first annual Tellico Village gingerbread house competition and show sponsored by Adopt-a-Class TN. The gingerbread houses will be available to view in our friendship hall, and we will have gingerbread cookies, cider, and hot chocolate for everyone. It is always wonderful to be a part of a Church family, but especially in seasons like this one when we have so much to celebrate. We hope that you will join us for all of the events coming up here at Shepherd of the Lake. Your presence would make our joyous occasions even more joyful. Blessings!

ALIGNMENT

olf is the only sport where we align parallel to our target line. In a full swing, it is important to be facing the target line with our shoulders and feet and our forearms. To check your upper body alignment, including the shoulders and forearms, have a friend lay a shaft across your shoulders and then forearms and make sure they are parallel to the target line. Of the three areas of alignment, the least important are the feet alignment. Feet can be open (aiming left of target) or closed (aiming right of target for right-handed players) to assist in flexibility for the turn or to help to not sway or other assistance in the golf swing. Also shoulders and forearms will dictate the path of the club in the golf swing In the short game, it is helpful to be open with your feet and hips. This helps a player to turn into and through the ball since the hips and feet are already slightly facing the target. Keep the shoulders and forearms as square as possible so the path of the club stays on the target line.

Hog Killin’ Time in Tennessee

12A • East Tennessee’s Mountain Views, November 2026

By Bo Carey

n bygone days, the first really cold weather in November meant one thing on Loudon’s Fort Hill, and that was that it’s hog killing time. The big event would begin early on a Saturday morning, and I always walked through the meadow to Grandmother Bess Greer’s house to join in the excitement. It’s indeed one of my fondest childhood memories. The crew who showed up for the full day’s work were a real cast of characters. First, there was Bud Thornburg, who my grandfather Carmichael Greer had hired years before, essentially as a tenant farmer. Bud kept a nice pig pen and saw that the swine were fattened up throughout the summer. The first person of importance to show up was Jim Watts, Bo Giving A History Tour the executioner! Jim ran the fishing and gun department at Greers store in town, but on Hog Killing Day, he was called on to deliver a swift end to the porker’s life. Once that unpleasantness was out of the way, the hogs were carried over to Mom Bess’s big guest house garage, where sheets of plywood on sawhorses provided makeshift butchering tables. Men and women were already there with knives and saws, and they were well practiced in cutting the meat into the various parts. One of the ladies in the kitchen would use the old hand grinder to produce the first pound or two of sausage. Hot pepper flakes were mixed in for added flavor. Mom Bess would call me in from the butcher tables to her porch where she’d hand me a hot buttered biscuit with the freshest, most mouthwatering sausage one might savor. Oh, I can taste it to this day! Her smoke house was just up the bank where the old Civil War redoubt had been, and that’s where they hung the massive country hams, heavily salted and allowed to cure as long as necessary. The next time we would see one of those hams would be Christmas morning when all the children and grandchildren arrived for a big southern style breakfast. We don’t hear of this tradition anymore. I guess the big meat producers and slaughterhouses own the day, and it’s too much trouble to do all that work for a single family’s pork supply. But today I proudly live in my grandparents’ house, and we keep one of those old butchering tables in the garage. The smoke house still stands on the crest of the hill, but there are no hams hanging from the ceiling. This spring I’m gonna fix it up as my own little retreat, where I can build a fire, kick my feet up and reminisce about the taste of a hot sausage biscuit.

He is the owner of Greer’s Home Furnishings in Historic Loudon and is available for lectures or programs for any area group or civic club. Call (865) 659-2300 bocarey95@gmail.com office 865-458-2046

Dream Rooms - Living Room BEFORE

This lakeside couple was in the process of building their forever home, and were close to completion when they reached out to us. They had a new quandary in the home building process as few of their previous pieces from their current home matched the scale of their new home, leaving them with a beautiful yet empty space.

When you first walk into this home, you can’t help but notice the beautiful windows and the lake view behind them. This showstopper needed a special treatment to draw your eye, but they didn’t want anything that would block their beautiful view, and I don’t blame theme. Additionally, this large open concept combination living room, kitchen, eating area, and foyer needed cohesion across multiple zones to help to bring it all together. This couple has lots of colorful souvenirs from their travels and likes a clean look. They also have a large family that visits regularly so they wanted ample seating that was easy care and low maintenance, and preferred the idea of a sectional. We helped design a layout that provided ample seating for family and friends in easy care performance fabrics paired with rough hewn black finishes for low maintenance and long term durability. The clean lines of the furniture and minimal patterning lets the architecture of the room speak for itself. The beautiful window wall is adorned with a custom faux iron treatment designed to mimic the tree line across the water really shine and take center stage and finished with tinting to protect the finishes from uv damage, and glare. A beautiful fireplace is flanked by built in bookshelves with delicately arranged mementos from the home owners travels. This large scaled living room utilizes a sectional with enough seating for 7, paired with two swivel chairs, and two hexagonal ottomans for additional seating. The arrangement is anchored by a large 60″x60″ coffee table that centers the room on the fireplace. The matching end tables flank the seating arrangement giving service to all of the seats. The adjacent rooms, the foyer and the dining room, continue the color scheme. The end result is a stunning yet inviting living room.

Is Your House Still Working for You?

By Yvonne Marsh, CFP®, CPA

t some point, the house you worked so hard to afford can become the house you’re working awfully hard to maintain. Maybe it’s the four bedrooms you no longer use, I represent all major carriers and work on your behalf to the yard that seems to get bigger every summer, or the upstairs rooms you visit mainly to make sure nothing is leaking. choose the right plan for YOU! The house hasn’t changed much, but your life probably has. For many retirees, the family home represents decades of Medicare • Hospital Indemnity • Dental • and more! memories. It’s where you raised children, celebrated holidays, and watched your life unfold. The thought of leaving it can be difficult, especially when the mortgage is paid off and 865-332-2002 • RickAustinInsurance.com you have no pressing reason to move. But here’s a question worth asking: Is your house still making your life easier, or is it starting to make life more complicated? I’ve had conversations with retirees who are perfectly capable of maintaining their homes but are getting tired of doing it. They can afford the lawn service, the repairs, and the property taxes. That’s not really the issue. It’s the time and energy spent managing a house that no longer fits the way they want to live. Of course, downsizing isn’t always the answer. Smaller homes aren’t necessarily less expensive, especially when you factor in today’s prices, moving costs, and potentially higher property taxes. And there’s something to be said for staying in a familiar neighborhood surrounded by people you know. Sometimes the better decision is to make your current home easier to live in. Hire out the yard work, update a bathroom, or make changes that will allow you to comfortably remain there as you age. Other times, moving closer to family, finding a home with fewer stairs, or choosing a community with less maintenance may offer a better quality of life. There’s a real advantage to making these decisions while you still have plenty of options. Making a move in your early 70s, when you’re healthy and have the energy to sort through 30 years of accumulated belongings, is a very different experience from trying to make those same decisions in your 80s following a health setback. Even if you ultimately decide to stay put, having thought through your options ahead of time can make a world of difference. Your home is likely one of your largest assets, but it’s also where Outdoor RV/Camper/Boat Storage (Covered and Uncovered) you spend a good portion of your life. Both deserve consideration. If you’ve started wondering whether your house still fits your retirement, bring that question into your next financial planning conversation. Sometimes the best financial decisions aren’t about growing your investments. They’re about making life a little easier to enjoy.

The Perfect Fit: There’s a Pant for Everyone at The Lily Pad!

rom skinny to wide-leg, cropped to full-length, today’s fashion is all about finding the fit that makes you feel your best. If there’s one thing we’re loving about fashion right now, it’s that there are no rules when it comes to pants! Gone are the days when one particular style dominated the fashion world. Today, everything from skinny jeans and classic straight-leg pants to trendy barrel-leg silhouettes and flowy wide-leg trousers is in style. Whether you prefer a tailored, polished look or something relaxed and effortless, there’s a pant style for every personality, occasion, and body type. And at The Lily Pad, we believe that’s exactly how fashion should be! One of the most exciting things about today’s pant trends is the variety of silhouettes available. Barrel-leg pants offer a fun, modern shape that adds a little personality to any outfit, while straight-leg styles remain a timeless favorite that can easily be dressed up or down. Wide-leg trousers are perfect for creating an effortlessly sophisticated look, and yes, skinny jeans are still very much a wardrobe staple! From slim and structured to loose and flowing, there’s truly something for everyone. The best part? You don’t have to choose just one style. Having a variety of fits in your closet makes getting dressed more fun and versatile. And it’s not just pant widths that are offering more options than ever before. Lengths are just as varied! Cropped pants, ankle-length styles, traditional full-length trousers, and even longer, floor-skimming silhouettes all have their place in today’s

fashion. The key is finding the combination of width, length, and proportion that works best for your height, shape, and personal style. What looks fabulous on one woman might not be her friend’s favorite, and that’s perfectly okay! We always remind our customers that the most flattering outfit is the one that makes you feel comfortable, confident, and beautiful. At The Lily Pad, helping women find that perfect fit is one of our favorite things to do. We carefully select a wide variety of pant styles because we know that no two women are built exactly alike. And here’s something that makes shopping with us even sweeter: alterations are always complimentary! This is an especially wonderful benefit for our petite ladies, who know how difficult it can be to find pants that are just the right length. There’s no reason to pass up a fabulous pair of pants simply because they’re a few inches too long! So, whether you’re ready to try the latest barrel-leg trend, searching for the perfect pair of classic trousers, or simply looking to refresh your everyday wardrobe, we’d love to help you find your fit! Come spend an afternoon with us in beautiful Downtown Sweetwater, where you’ll find personalized service, a welcoming atmosphere, and a wonderful selection of styles to flatter every figure.

East Tennessee Area: Beaver Photographing the beauty of Tennessee, and the wildlife who call it home.

Beaver In the Grass - Seeing a beaver in the grass is a rare sight, especially in the sun like this, so I was so excited to be able to capture something like this. The beaver sat there for a little munching on the grass before retreating back into the creek.

Coming at Me - I was surprised watching it just kind of swim around me like I wasn’t even there, and it always makes me happy when an animal is comfortable around me. This is when it started swimming closer to me, and it was almost too close with my long lens!

have only had a few encounters with beavers, but the times I have seen them have usually occurred during the winter. Since they are nocturnal animals, those times have also been during the evening, but even seeing them in the evening is rare. Beavers can be found in swampy places, but I usually find them next to greenways where they seem to be used to people. They can be a little intimidating because they are larger than what I think most people expect. I was even a little surprised seeing my first one, but my encounters with them have been nothing but calm, not to say they are always that way so it’s always best to be careful. This group of pictures I’m sharing is from one beaver that I spent 20-30 minutes with one evening and hope to see again one day. Contact: Kalleybcook@gmail.com www.facebook.com/ kalleycookphotography kalleycook.smugmug.com

Beaver Bath - When it got back to the creek after being in the grass, it decided it needed a bath and washed itself up. It was so cute to see it use its hands, and it was great seeing that big tail they have. They will often smack their tails on the water if they feel threatened, so I’m glad that didn’t happen.

Beaver in Evening Light - I’m always looking for pretty light with my subjects and when the sunset cast a golden hue on the pond, it was picture perfect. Beaver Munching - I was just watching it pull up grass from under the water and munch away. The creek isn’t normally this high in this specific area, but with a heavy rain the day before, it was able to go in areas it usually can’t access and get some fresh food.

November IN THE GARDEN

any of you don’t think of November as a month you need to do anything in your yard. Vegetable gardens are winding down or done, trees are dropping their last leaves, and you have mowed for the final time. There are some things you can do now, however, that will make your spring go more smoothly. The secret is knowing what needs attention, what would be helpful, and what can wait until another day. Things You Need to Do

Things You Can Do

Plant trees and shrubs. November is an excellent time to plant. Cooler weather reduces heat stress, while 75-80% of root growth occurs in the fall and winter. Choose plants suited to the location, dig a hole wider than the root ball but no deeper, and keep the root flare at or slightly above ground level. Water thoroughly after planting. Mulch to keep moisture and temperature levels stable, but remember to keep mulch away from the trunk! Improve your soil naturally. November is a good time to have your soil tested, especially if you had problems. Follow the recommendations from your results. You can also add compost to beds and consider planting a winter cover crop in empty vegetable plots. Both can protect the soil from erosion and help improve its structure. Put those fallen leaves to work. Instead of bagging every leaf for the landfill, use them as a resource. A layer of leaves around trees and shrubs helps protect the soil, conserve moisture, and return nutrients to the ground. Leaves can also be composted to make a valuable soil amendment. On lawns, mulch-mow your leaves so they break down without smothering the grass. Leave a little habitat behind. Many beneficial insects shelter in fallen leaves and plant stems, while birds enjoy seeds from herbaceous perennials. Leave healthy stems and seedheads standing through winter wherever practical.

Things You Don’t Have to Do

You don’t have to make the garden spotless. A perfectly raked landscape may look neat, but a messy garden is a happier garden for our pollinators. Just remove thick leaf layers from lawns and keep leaves out of storm drains and ponds. You don’t have to cut back every perennial. Ornamental grasses, coneflowers, black-eyed Susans, and many other perennials provide winter interest, shelter, and food for wildlife. Cut back plants that are diseased, but let healthy plants stand. You don’t have to prune now. Avoid unnecessary pruning of trees and shrubs and educate yourself about appropriate timing. I wait until later in the winter when my plants are dormant before doing anything major. Wouldn’t you rather be asleep if someone is removing your limbs? I will write more about pruning in January. FYI, it is too late to prune Hydrangea macrophylla and too early to prune spring bloomers. You don’t have to fertilize just because it’s fall. More fertilizer does not automatically mean healthier plants. Late-season feeding can be inappropriate for many trees and shrubs (it’s like drinking an energy drink before bed), and lawn fertilizer timing depends on the type of grass. Test your soil and follow those recommendations. Finally, give yourself permission to sit on the porch with a warm drink and admire the changing landscape. A garden that supports healthy soil, wildlife, and pollinators doesn’t need to be immaculate. Sometimes, the best thing you can do in November is leave a little mess, save yourself some work, and let nature get on with its winter preparations.

Ready to schedule an evaluation? COME MEET OUR NEW SURGEONS!

Protect plants (and pots) before freezing weather arrives. Keep an eye on the forecast, especially if you have newly planted shrubs, tender container plants, or plants that are marginally hardy. Move tender potted plants or non-frost-resistant pots into a protected location before a hard freeze. Water newly planted trees and shrubs, since their roots are still establishing and you don’t want them to freeze while dry. Keep blankets or a frost cloth available for plants such as camellias that unfortunately tend to burst into bloom just before temperatures nosedive. Clean up the vegetable garden. Harvest any remaining frost-sensitive vegetables and remove plants showing signs of disease or serious insect problems. Diseased material should go in the trash, not the compost pile. Healthy plant debris can be composted or left to decompose on-site. Pull weeds before they scatter seeds, or you will have regrets in the spring. Plant spring bulbs. If daffodils, crocuses, or other spring-flowering bulbs are still waiting in their bags, get them into the ground while the soil remains workable. Take care of your tools. Clean off dirt, sharpen blades, and lightly oil metal surfaces to prevent rust. Drain hoses and store them where they won’t freeze.

Give the Gift of a Garage That Works for You

very holiday season brings a familiar question: What do you give someone who already seems to have everything? This year, consider a gift that makes everyday life easier: a garage with room to park, space to work, and a place for the things that usually end up underfoot. For many East Tennessee households, the garage serves several purposes at once. It holds vehicles, gardening supplies, bicycles, tools, holiday decorations, and equipment for weekend adventures. Without a plan for all those belongings, even a spacious garage can become difficult to use. PremierGarage of Knoxville helps homeowners bring those competing needs together with flooring and storage solutions designed around the way they live. The goal is practical: make the garage more organized, more attractive, and easier to enjoy throughout the year. A good starting point is looking beyond the floor. Walls and overhead areas often offer storage opportunities that homeowners overlook. Slatwall systems can keep frequently used tools and accessories visible and accessible. Bike racks give bicycles a designated home. Overhead storage can accommodate seasonal belongings, freeing space below for daily activities. Cabinetry adds another layer of organization. In-

stead of leaving supplies scattered across open shelves or stacked in corners, cabinets create defined places for the items you want close at hand. Grouping belongings by purpose makes it easier to find what you need and put it away afterward. Flooring helps bring the entire space together. PremierGarage of Knoxville’s hybrid polymer flooring system provides an attractive foundation for a garage that sees regular use. Coordinating the floor with cabinetry and wall storage creates a finished look while keeping the focus on function. The best arrangement starts with your priorities. Perhaps you want to park inside again, make room for a

hobby, or stop moving three things just to reach one. A thoughtful design considers those frustrations alongside the belongings you need to store. Organization also makes the seasonal shuffle more manageable. Decorations can have a consistent storage location, outdoor equipment can stay grouped together, and everyday essentials can remain within reach. When everything has a designated place, maintaining order becomes a more realistic routine. As a holiday gift, a garage improvement offers something the whole household can use. It is an opportunity to invest in the home you share and create space for the activities you enjoy. Planning together also lets everyone contribute ideas about what would make the garage work better. You can begin with one priority or explore how several improvements might work together. A conversation about your space helps turn a general wish for less clutter into a practical plan.
