Tennessee
Added 2021-10-22 20:29:37 +0000 UTCWhat does home mean to you?
Is it the sights, smells, surroundings? Is it the way the car drives down the highway, and those potholes that sat once before still sit?
I don’t know what home is, but if I had to guess, it would be the way the autumn air presses against my cheek. It’s the way my hands clasp Jim’s and fail to produce sweat. It’s the crunching of leaves reminiscent to cracklings.
Home is where the heart is, and my heart has always belonged in this state. On the plane ride here, I heard two, spoiled Floridians shit-talking my state, referencing it as “redneck.”
If Tennessee is redneck, so be it that I may be a farmer with a burned neck. Tennessee has its good and bad, but where I’m from, the good certainly outweighs the bad.
I’m delighted to share this journey with you all, and I sincerely hope if you do enjoy these pictures—you consider coming to my home. ❤️

2021-10-25 14:40:25 +0000 UTCBeautifully said. And amazing capture!!! Home for me. Is my comfort zone. I use to live in the City Of Pennsylvania. Reading that is. I miss it. Being as my childhood home. But today, not so much. Ow I’m stuck in cow land! Lol I love the smell of country air though!!

2021-10-22 20:57:02 +0000 UTCCorrect me if I'm completely wrong here, but didnt the word "redneck" originate from the fact farmers would be out in the fields all day long under the Tennessee sun, and would get sunburnt necks? It then just became a derogatory term? I'd be proud to be a "red neck", theres nothing wrong with being a farmer, growing crops, tending to farm animals, learning to live off the land. Ugh people are indeed a conundrum. Glad to hear you are having an amazing time enjoying your vacation lady x
