This is a rare sketch of our precious Donkey "Dolly". Many of you met him, he was a wonderfully happy and gentle guy who was only with us for a couple of years before his unfortunate accidental passing. He was a good friend to Red and Paul, always baying when he heard them. He would tug at his halter as they tried to put it on him, once he stopped that then he'd pull their hat off. I think Paul still has his hat where "Dolly" took a chunk out of it. Paul can't look at our garden in without the memories of ploughing it with "Dolly". Fond memories and good fun. Thanks for sharing this memory with us. You can take "Dolly" home for your very own. Framed in museum quality frames and designed by Paul Murray. You are getting the drawing for almost free.

: The Johnson Family from Townsend is a traditional mountain family. They let Paul & KatiJane into their lives in the 80’s. This has let Paul share paintings of Lil’ Fannies’ Grandma “Fannie” and “Earnest", and has forged a great friendship, with many cherished memories. Here is Paul’s thoughts about Lil Fannie. “A place where beauty abounds, where innocence and wisdom are mixed like good cornmeal; a place where a window to the past still exists. L'il Fannie was born from a long line of mountain people. She shares the shyness and fierce pride of her forefathers. In a few isolated hills and hollows of east Tennessee, the window is still open." -Paul Murray-

Born in 1889 in the Smoky Mountains, Lem Ownby became one of the region's most recognized figures. Sight-impaired from an early age, Lem spent his life logging, bear hunting, farming and tending his beehives. He welcomed the arrival of logging operations into the pristine wilderness but became an eyewitness to the devastation it brought to land, streams and wildlife. As the last leaseholder living within the Great Smoky Mountains National Park, Lem became a legend, selling his honey and offering pearls of wisdom to hikers, writers and even the governor. Lem's principles remained solid, his opinions so unwavering that he once refused to entertain two Supreme Court justices. Enter the forest with author F. Carroll McMahan as he tells dramatic, fascinating and sometimes humorous stories of a man who lived truly on his own terms. - Elkmont's Uncle Lem Ownby: Sage of the Smokies (Natural History) Paperback – October 1, 2013 by F. Carroll McMahan
