Happy Fathers Day

In Heaven, Daddy


This is an old picture taken of Daddy on the left in Daytona Beach Florida with a friend at the races.  He loved the races then.   I am working on my pictures and getting them clearer and most are not in the best shape.

It's Summer

Month of June is just about gone.  Rainy here the next few days off and on but that's o.k.
 My sister and her husband came for a visit and we rode to Bath County.  Had a lunch at a little restaurant which was nice.   Things are opening as they should be.

Gorgeous view over the mountains at Dan Ingalls over look


Little hard to read the marker here but here is a link →to historical markers

We took the little day trip with my  sister and brother in law 



On our way and a stop as we looped around to get back home.  I like how it's not overly populated here and people are friendly, no rudeness.  I wish I could talk my husband into having a place here.  

Jefferson Pools are just about ready to collapse, sad to say.

Pretty little church in the area.

Brother in law, husband and sister 


Omni Homestead not open but getting ready it looks to be.   We are talking about staying a few nights here.  Pretty area.

spending a few nights here after opening is on our to do list.

I need some geraniums. The red ones here are just so deep red.


A peek into the windows.  I love the urns sitting on that fireplace.
re opening on June 29th.  


Short clip of our outing

Happy Sunday

Out early this morning with coffee.  Yesterday terribly muggy but have a few pictures from both days.

A look out of our office window this morning


I have more to cut and dry but first a few clippings from the French sorrel and curly kale for salad
A few sprigs of dill also for a macaroni  salad




Nice to have something pretty to see everyday.  


These trees grow close to the little creek bed.  Not sure the name I have heard a wild magnolia.  Don't know.

I decided to put the hollyhock in a container this year and see if it will do better.  Begonias always come back with huge leaves.

 A few tomatoes doing well I started from seed





πŸ˜‰til later
