Watching the fog lift off Peters Mountain

Today early with the drizzle got me thinking about the morning two weeks ago at my daughters house where I got up very early and watched the fog lift off Peters Mountain in West Virginia.   
Hot cup of coffee and porch swing felt great at 6:00 a.m. 
Every morning is like this I am told

A cement dalmation and cement pot Annette and John rescued from the side of the road and painted.

John hollowoed out a tree and planted flowers 

berries

getter brighter  as I sit 

Annette got rid of all of her chickens - but this is her neighbor's chicken who makes her way every morning to the hen house still on the property and leaves fresh eggs.  She just likes their hen house better I guess.

Neat idea -  Good Morning to everyone

Harpers Ferry and more

Many houses in Harpers Ferry were constructed in the 19th century.  Structures have been lived in, maintained and modernized. 
Since the war of 1812 the Upper Town Harpers Ferry has also been known as Camp Hill.
I felt like I was transported somewhere back in time in the historic Harpers Ferry.   Beautiful stone buildings,   Magnificent stone work.

The original church did not survive the Civil War.
The Camp Hill-Wesley United Methodist Churh
was rebuilt in upper town in 1869 with salvaged bricks from
the Armory that was destroyed.


If you get the close up , there were two pretty spring wreaths on the doors.
You should be able to read this if you click on it. It explains more about the square.
The town pump was here


The Civil War canon once in front of John Brown
engine house was brought here in 1924 as a war
memorial.
Pump



Do not know what this place was or was once used for.
