Rural Thursday Blog Hop # 3

This lonely little house sits all alone in Catawba Valley. I don't know the story of this little place but it appears to be deserted. I'm always drawn to it when driving by and always have to get a photo of it and I'm sure I've shown a picture of it on this blog before. I wonder how a home just becomes this way. Who just up and leaves?

Spring House

Blue Ridge Resort was known for its "healing springs" and was built around the time of the Civil War. Destroyed by fire, all that remains is this little spring house.

Barn Charm Tuesday

Had to pick Ashlyn up over at Brugh's Mill on Sunday...this barn is right off exit 156 in Troutville. I was in too much of a hurry to really grab a good shot but I do need to make the effort to run back up there as there were a couple of great looking barns right there off the exit...worth exploring....SOON!

Happy Valentine's Day!!

Yellow, Green, Red

Some old trucks at the Museum of Transportation. I used the Gritty effect on this.

Smile and the world smiles with you....

This was the "Snow Moon" from Tuesday night. We did see snow on Wednesday, snowed a big part of the morning BUT nothing stuck, not even one little snowflake. Will we ever end up with some snow ON THE GROUND this winter? Although on second thought, I'm actually ready for spring now, so nevermind!

Have a great weekend....it's supposed to be a cold one here!

Rural Thursday Blog Hop # 2

I saw this little rural home out in Fincastle one day. Look at that porch! I just imagine, when the weather is warmer, someone sitting in one of those rockers playing a fiddle or a banjo and lots of fun going on, kids running around, people dancing, sharing the town gossip....just a fun old timey Saturday night!
