#roadtrip I love the Ozarks, and the Pacific is spectacular to visit. 💜🔥🙌🏻
Who says paddling has a "season?" Portions of the Kings River and the White River (both 15 min or less from Eureka Springs) are floatable year-round, and as you can see, folks around here make the most of our natural "adventure" resources – even in the snow! #eurekasprings #canoe #canoeing #kingsriver #ozarks Gorgeous photo by Crystal Rust Chapman.
Just sayin hi. Haaaaaay! From me, Lucy, and Linus. We love you all! 💜😘😍
Something I never thought I'd see: a whole "finger" of Table Rock Lake frozen on its entire surface and covered with several inches of snow! The boats at the marina are frozen in place as well. On the map you can see this is the section of the lake fed directly by Leatherwood Creek. At the marina, this feeder section of the lake joins with the westernmost section of Table Rock Lake fed by the White River (which is not frozen). Seeing such a big expanse of water totally frozen is beautiful and really breathtaking to see. Road update: The state highways are clear. Woodsdale in Holiday Island is pretty clear. Stateline near Woodsdale has been plowed and had some traffic but goodness knows the northern section of Stateline is probably still treacherous! I saw plows out working on more HI roads Thursday afternoon, including on "the island." Eureka Springs's roads are in far worse condition from what I saw. Every side road I drove by was covered with snow and had not seen any plow; many of them had been officially closed off by the city streets department. Even "main" side roads like Hillside & East Mountain looked dangerous and hadn't been plowed or treated as of 5 pm. If you have photos of pretty snow scenes to share, let's see them! Post in comments with or without caption/location info. Stay safe everyone. Fingers crossed it warms up tomorrow and this weekend and melts all this white stuff!
I always enjoy the drive from Rogers to Eureka Springs on Highway 62, but especially just before sunset. Loose Lucy feels the same! #eurekasprings #highway62 #theozarks #ilovelucy
That star in the center above the hilltop (just a tad to the right of the tower-shaped silhouette on the center of the ridgetop) is Saturn and Jupiter about to meet ... watched it from the Holiday Island fishing pier at Table Rock Lake, sang traditional Christmas carols for no one but myself, & thanked the Universe for the ability to witness and appreciate its wonders. I learned earlier today that a dear friend who saved my life once passed this morning. She was indeed a collision of bright stars and a fiery force of nature, so tonight’s celestial display seemed appropriate to say the least for the day Karen Horst, aka Ma Dank, left us. Ma, I love you so much. Thank you for not giving up on me when I had long done so myself. 💜, Kstar
It’s snowing HARD here and we are all loving it (because we all know it’s Arkansas and it will be 60 again within a few days haha!) Apparently it also snowed quite a bit seven years ago on this day, Which is when I took this pic of @basinpark1905 staff snowboarding down Spring Street! Such fun times that day. The photo went viral and was aired on the Weather Channel and a bunch of news stations in the following days. There is just nothing as magical and fun as playing in the snow in downtown #eurekasprings! Video is from today, 10:30 am at #holidayisland ... 😍#letitsnow #ozarks #arkansasweather #arwx #memories
Do what?! Fingers crossed because this would be so fun! And we all know it’ll melt in under 24 hours... 🤣🤷🏻♀️🙌🏻 #arkansasweather #letitsnow #eurekasprings
Attempted to take a “family” photo for holiday purposes... They didn’t wanna sit still lol! Loving this retro tree in my mcm-decor home. I may just leave it up year round 🤣
Just cooked what is hands-down my best-ever cornbread dressing (also first time to make it gluten free), my best sweet potato casserole, my best glazed ham, and even the green beans are fire (thanks, jar of bacon grease!). Thankful today for my safe and comfortable home, for the peaceful life I’ve carved out in these beautiful Ozarks, for being able to walk to a nearby park with a swing set (and an adult-size swing, which always makes me feel free), for sunshine and wildlife that abounds here in #holidayisland (Lucy and I walked within 30 yards of 22 grazing deer today and they just watched us and kept eating!), for Lucy and Linus being in good health, for friends who are good listeners when I am melting down with anxiety and good car-karaoke buddies too. Happy Thanksgiving everyone!
