Buckle up, we're going for a ride down Blacksburg Road in Fincastle. I travel this road quite a bit going to the boys baseball, football and basketball games. It's a nice, picturesque little drive.
As I sit here on Thursday afternoon getting this post ready to run Friday, it's cold and windy. VERY cold! I just took Ozzy outside and noticed a big branch had broke off a tree and landed in his yard.
Waiting on this snow they say we are probably going to get on Friday. They are saying 2-4 inches starting around 1:00 in the afternoon. Not good news for those of us trying to get a snow day out of this lol...the timing is everything!
I suppose we should head outside and gather up a bunch of kindling for the fire before it's all under snow.
Have a great weekend!

Also, wanted to share with you this important notice about Beneful Dog Food. If you feed this to your dog(s) stop now:
"Purina's Beneful dog food killing dogs nationwide; No recall issued by FDA"

And now a plea for help from one of you awesome computer guru types. I want to get the cute social media buttons like these
to put in my sidebar. Nancy at Rural Journal told me how once and I didn't do it and forget how. So pretty please? With sugar on top?! :)
*Weather Update* We ended up getting a snow day today from this upcoming winter weather. I was shocked. Our county closed the schools by 10PM last night. Usually they hold out to the morning. The kids were excited to know they could sleep in today! No snow so far.
Lovin' that road....feel like driving down it fast! I like the white fence along the white line. If you find out how to post the buttons, you have to share! xx
ReplyDeleteLove the yellow lines alongside the white fence!
ReplyDeleteGorgeous long fence line! Very nice!
ReplyDeleteoh, i love those buttons ... if you learn ... pass it on, please.
ReplyDeletelove those clouds in that shot there. so great. glad you have a view to see when going to all those meeting, games & such. ( :
Love the view down the road, feels like I'm travelling along it! As for buttons, try Googling 'Code it Pretty', that may help solve your problem.
ReplyDeleteLove this road. Congrats on the snow day!
ReplyDeleteA drive in the country is just plain good for the soul. Enjoying the beauty of the journey is icing on the cake. Have a blessed week-end.
ReplyDeleteI hope you don't get awful weather today. I like that fence line- very scenic!
ReplyDeletehappy snow day to you! :)
ReplyDeleteLOVE the fence line along the road. great contrasts in this shot.
Yeah snow day, pretty fence and I really have no idea how to do buttons but Nancy is smart:) Hug B
ReplyDeleteThat looks like my kind of road -- open road in the country. Looks scenic.
ReplyDeleteThat is a nice scenic view on your drive. Wow a snowday n no snow yet....Watch out...hope its not more then what they were predicting. The kids will be happy though!!!
ReplyDeleteSuper-fun for your kids! Love snow days and I'm not even a child anymore, haha:) I love this beautiful road. Hope it's a relaxing weekend! (PS I tried mightily to resist buying anything at that antique place, but it was hard:)
ReplyDeleteI know where that fence is! Great shot.
ReplyDeleteWhat a cool photo! The sky looks so neat. Hope everyone is enjoying the snow day!
ReplyDeleteThat is scary about the Beneful food. We don't feed our dog that brand so we're good thankfully. Thanks for sharing, though!
Those fences are beautiful, but I'll bet they take a lot of maintenance to keep them looking so good.
ReplyDeleteWe don't have any snow today, but ice has shut down just about everything. I haven't seen a car on the road all day.
beautiful!!!
ReplyDeleteSo neat and I bet it looks totally different now. Caught the video of your sweet Ozzy in the snow on FB.
ReplyDeleteKids and snow days--can there be any greater joy? No snow here in the Bahamas. We be tanning, Mon!
ReplyDeleteRosemary
Great picture of the road !
ReplyDelete... yes, to be a child. Please have you all a good weekend.
Feel like I in the car headed down that highway!
ReplyDeleteGlad it was just snow for you!
ReplyDeleteAwesome road shot!
ReplyDeleteVery pretty road and fence! Hooray for snow days! LOVIN' your buttons, but I don't know how to get them either. I will look around and see if I can figure it out.
ReplyDeleteGreat shot down the road and I love the fences behind the fence, behind the fence, behind the fence... LOL!!
ReplyDeleteIt's a good looking road. It's good that you have such a good, picturesque road for your frequent trips.
ReplyDeleteLOVE this shot Tanya! The juxtaposition of road and fence is super.
ReplyDeleteKinda reminds me of that old TV show "Along Came Bronson" and the 'going down that long lonesome highway' song that opened and closed the show.
Finally up above freezing, it has been cold over here. I will have to go over that section of the road some day, I have been the other way into blacksburg taking photos.
ReplyDeleteLovely shot of your much-traveled road, Tanya. Hope you get the snow and it's timed perfectly for a snow day!
ReplyDeleteDid you get help with the buttons? Email me if you still need help.
Cool photo! Great perspective and contrast.
ReplyDeleteLove the photo! Glad you got snow...my Mom near Petersburg also said it snowed there. Hope you are having a great weekend! Love the Google+ version of your site!
