Hills, cloaked in a mosaic of hardwoods and occasional stands of darker, more somber evergreens, rise and fall with a quiet, persistent grace. Creeks, their waters clear and cool, thread through the valleys, their murmurs a constant, unobtrusive soundtrack to the landscape. The sky above often hangs a pale, washed-out blue, softening the edges of the world and lending a contemplative stillness to the scene, a stillness that seems to seep from the very soil of Sweetwater.
