Mountain visit (3)

Visit to Clifton Forge.

A town in Allegheny county Va..

Straight ahead is the town hall 

Old cemetery on side of the hill

Fine old homes in the town.   Many in need of some TLC.

there was a sign on one street that stated a Revitalization Project going on in the town.  Good to see that.

We were hoping for nicer weather since it is Spring to be able to get out and check out some of the little shops but maybe next trip.

Would have been even nice to be able to get a shot with out the power lines running so heavy across the street.

We are leaving with a view of the town.

Looks like an old four square home that caught my eye.

going back

You can see the green on the tree limbs. Maybe Spring is arriving here.

A short video heading up mountain and arriving in Town of Clifton Forge.
I need to visit the Forge here on the next visit for sure.

Mountain trip (1)

We took off a few more nights this past week end to Warm Springs Virginia.
   The Inn at Gristmill Square was offering a special and since we do love visiting the area and enjoy staying at this inn, we did just that.  A different room this time.   The decor to me was farm house styling with the real ship lap on several walls.  Cozy and warm.   Nice private patio also.
To begin with we had a nice sunny drive Sunday.

Beautiful fields and old homes along the way to see.  I fell asleep through a lot of it as usual.

Pulling in the drive to unload for our journey to our room.

Our room

just inside the door

See how pretty the day was.  A pleasant view to the courtyard.

A quick look around to the kitchenette area.

A lounging area separate from the bedroom with t.v. and magazines.

Our bedroom

Private patio with a babbling brook right outside the fence door.  Nice pleasant sound to enjoy while sitting out.

Outside of our room in the lounge area.  Nice antiques decorate the room 

Vintage pictures and a nice oil painting such as this one decorate the walls.

shower and bath

Yes, I like this picture hanging in the bath.

Pretty little cherub on the patio outside of our room I noticed while having a coffee.

Later after dinner and reading before bed we are thinking about sightseeing some tomorrow and seeing what shops may be open on a Monday.

After a good nights sleep.   I open the curtains and find.......
snow and still snowing for hours afterwards.  It's April the 9th.

I do remember seeing snow in April before when I was much younger.  It's not unusual.

View from the front door of our room

We are still going out to sight see.  First we must have breakfast.

More tomorrow.

Flowers for Friday

A few plants that brighten the inside at the moment as the weather is a little to chilly for them to be out all night.

A pretty Mandevilla Miranda brought me Easter.  I want to place in a larger pretty pot for the front door this summer.  I guess we will have Spring sometime.  W
Wouldn't know it was by the temperatures.

This reminds me of a wild azalea.  I like the peppermint stripe.

My wreath I made for my front door.
