Treaty of the Holston River

I passed this statue the other day while walking the riverfront.

The Treaty of Holston was a treaty between the United States government and the Cherokee Nation signed on July 2, 1791 and proclaimed on February 7, 1792. It was signed by William Blount, governor in and over the territory of the United States south of the Ohio River, and superintendent of Indian affairs for the southern district for the United States and various representatives of the Cherokee Nation. The treaty established terms of relations between the United States and Cherokee, and established the Cherokee nation as a protectorate of the United States with the United States managing all foreign affairs of the Cherokee.
A monument of the treaty is located on the banks of the Tennessee River in downtown Knoxville.

Tiny Pinecone

I saw this in the park and loved it!

Downtown view

This is a partial view of our downtown from one of my favorite parks in Knoxville, Ijames Nature Center.

Rainbow

I pulled out of my driveway today to see this. I knew it was going to be a good day!

Birdhouse

I thought this was cute especially with the moss growing on the roof.

Windchime

Bryan and I got married in Kauai, Hawaii and we found this beautiful windchime with hand-blown glass and brought it home with us. We love it!

Herbs

My bestfriend made me a herb table last year for my birthday. I had fresh herbs for cooking most of the summer until it became too hot and they died. I can't wait to load these little pots up again.
