Autumn was only a stone’s throw away, the leaves just starting to turn colors before dying. Farmer’s fields were showing the last of a bountiful harvest. I joyfully took my time walking around, kicking up fallen leaves as I went. I may have even been whistling. ![](https://i0.wp.com/mywalkabout.net/wp-content/uploads/2019/03/IMG_5901-2.jpg? fit=940%2C705&ssl=1) The sun was still strong enough to warm my bare skin, and the recent rains had the rolling hills covered in radiant green. Nature’s green. Know what I mean? ![](https://i0.wp.com/mywalkabout.net/wp-content/uploads/2019/03/IMG_5900-2-1.jpg? fit=940%2C705&ssl=1) I get to see, close up, the Biltmore house for the first time. The architecture. The stone gargoyles. The fountains and the gardens. I can’t wait to enter, but that will happen later. For now, I only walk the hallowed grounds of the Biltmore. ![](https://i0.wp.com/mywalkabout.net/wp-content/uploads/2019/03/KMKL4147-2.jpg? fit=940%2C671&ssl=1) I find the peace I have been looking for, the State of Mind that I always long to be in, my happy place in this world.
