Signs 2 - The Great Valley

Great Valley Overlook . Blue Ridge Parkway . MP 99.6

As you travel along the Blue Ridge Parkway there are these overlooks every couple of miles or so...the views are always worth pulling over!

The Great Valley

"The Great Valley extends through the Appalachians from New York to Alabama. Here the valley is confined by the Alleghenies on the west and by the Blue Ridge on the east. The great warrior path of the Iroquois and Cherokee was used by the Scotch-Irish and German pioneers from Pennsylvania when they migrated down the valley to settle this area in 1730-50."

HERE'S a neat site I found to get a virtual view!

Today I am thankful for more and more spring like days! We've been enjoying warm weather and everyday I notice more and more things blooming! The forsythia and daffodils are in bloom and I even saw some Cherry blossoms today! We dip back into winter for the next couple of days but that's ok...spring is right around the corner!

Blue Ridge Parkway

Sunday was such a pretty day so we loaded Ozzy in the car and took him for a trail walk. This one isn't too far up the Parkway from us...I think it's Black Horse Trail but I'm not sure...we've walked this one a few times. Pretty views!

Signs 2 - American Red Cross

American Red Cross Donor Center . 352 Church Ave SW . Roanoke . 24012

I think this is a sign everyone recognizes... linking with Tom's Signs 2

Today I am thankful to be back among the living! I picked up whatever was going around and just felt awful! I woke up this morning feeling so much better! Linking with Michelle's Thankful Thursday
Have a great day! Wash those hands and stay healthy!
P.S. We might be getting a little snow later today! Not much...a possible inch but considering we haven't really had any I'll take it!

Day Creek . Blue Ridge . Botetourt County

Sunday was too nice to spend indoors so Nick and I took Ozzy over to Day Creek...a short drive from our house where Ozzy gets some hiking time in and Nick enjoys sitting by the creek. There were lots of people out on horses and bikes!
Warmer temps today and tomorrow too!
