Knoxville, TN (PRWEB) January 21, 2014 -- As the dawn breaks, cotton candy clouds reflect in Tellico Lake where dragonflies dance. Dog walkers and joggers scoot by sharing a friendly wave with the giggling children waiting at the bus stop and Mrs. Smith watering her colorful flower beds. Does this sound like Mr. Rogers Neighborhood of Make Believe? It’s not.
