When I went to Milmont, I didn't take the back roads this time, but I-64 instead. I exited where the Blue Ridge Parkway crosses I-64 in Waynesboro, VA. It is a beautiful drive, and for years I have stopped when traveling back home at either the Parkway, where I often take a drive, or at the two scenic overlooks on I-64. WhenI stopped this last time, I took a few photos that show why I so enjoy the trip. I will likely be that way again soon, and hope to take some photos when the trees ...Continue reading...

One in particular stood out, a young lady with quite a talent in photography work. I am looking forward to posting about her and her photographs. I really liked her work. Enjoy the photos below........ Here in the ...Continue reading...

Well, done except for a new light fixture for the front door. I had planned on looking for one today but last night I received a call from Bearded Collie Rescue via LS in Charlotte, NC. There was a Beardie in Bedford, VA- in the shelter, that needed to be pulled. I couldn't do it tomorrow, and they are closed Sunday, which would have been his put to sleep day, so I left early this morning to make the drive down and back, and then straight to the vet for a checkup. Unfortunately he is heart worm ...Continue reading...

Well, it took 5 solid days of working, but in the end it was worth it. In case you missed yesterday's post, you can read it here. So this is where I took over. I used some white leftover latex paint and diluted it with equal parts water to make a whitewash stain. I used this for the shelves and the posts. After it was dry, the next morning I put two ...Continue reading...
