Those of you who have followed our Two Holt journey know that Phil has long wanted to cut a clearer view of Mirror Lake. We are across the street from the lake but a heavy coverage of trees has given us only peek-a-boo views.

So we hired a local tree company to enhance the view. He scurried up the trees and started taking out limbs which had been blocking the view.
He had already limbed the tree to the right and moved on to the big hemlock tree.
He went WAY up the tree so the view from the upper balcony would be equally beautiful.
The view is starting to emerge.
We decided to wait on removing trees completely to see if just cutting limbs will be sufficient.
After trimming the trees at the road, the tree cutter went to work on all the trees down to the water's edge.

Now early each morning I pause just to appreciate the beauty...

...and throughout the day I enjoy the view from my bedroom, the guest bedroom, the living room and the screened porch. It's so very peaceful.
Can you see why it's called Mirror Lake?
I love when the garage door opens and I see the lake in front of me as I'm heading out to run errands.

Life is good here in our little mountain town. We love our retirement life in Highlands, North Carolina!
