April is the month of The Highlands Redbud Celebration. The area just down off the mountain is called the highlands and the misnamed Redbud trees abound. The color is more like the color of Pepto Bismol. Events are scheduled all month in the name of the tree and fun is had by all. Yesterday there was music performed by the TTU Tuba Ensemble at the Cookeville Depot. (TTU is the Tennessee Technical University) There will be wildflower hikes at all the local state parks. 
A listing of the events can be found at http://www.redbuds.org/ There will be a Rain Barrel Festival and even something called Dragon Days. I'm sure you'll want to hop in your favorite mode of transportation and head on down to join in on all the fun. 
Country roads and super highways are lined with the Redbuds.
It is breath taking to ride down the mountain and be surrounded by this delectable color.
The view any day is wonderful, at least to me. I never tire of the scenery as we go to town on any day. It is never the same. It is always a delight.
Can you dig it.
The Redbuds are the highlight now, but in a few days the Dogwoods will be in all their glory and the oohs and aahs will have to be shared.
