Where The Wild Things Grow

The Roanoke River . Explore Park . Roanoke
Today I am thankful for pretty light! This morning I had to get the boys to school a little earlier than our normal routine. They had to run for their coach so he could record their times...anyway, on our way there the sky was dark grey but the lighting on the ground and mountains looked like a gigantic spotlight was shining down...made for a very pretty drive this morning! I wished I had my camera with me because I wanted to take a picture of everything! Linking up with Michelle's Thankful Thursday

Kemp's Ford Schoolhouse
click on photo to enlarge
Explore Park . Roanoke
Originally located near a ford of the Blackwater River in Franklin County and then moved to Explore Park and restored. This little school was in operation from 1860-1935. The region was isolated following the Civil War and changed very little during the time the school was in use. Reports from students of the 1920's mirror the experiences of the 19th century students.
The school was moved to Explore Park thanks to a descendant of a former teacher of the school.
I've shown you the schoolhouse before right HERE

Explore Park . Roanoke
Those 2 little specks ahead on the pathway are a pair of Mourning Doves...I think they were getting annoyed with us because they thought we were following them...but fact of the matter is they kept going forward on the path that we were taking haha...Mourning Doves always remind me of my grandparent's house...they always liked to hang out there :)
Today I am thankful for the arrival of Spring, finally, today! We get into the 70's at last...jeez I hope it stays!

Godwin Cemetery & Fincastle United Methodist Church
click on photo to enlarge
Fincastle . Botetourt County
The earliest graves date from the mid 1800's on land purchased by James Godwin for a family graveyard. A portion of his property was deeded to John Slicer in 1891 for his family burials.
The church is Fincastle United Methodist Church. The congregation was formed in 1789. The original building was condemned and torn down with the aid of Oxen teams and replaced with the building of this church in 1840.
I love, love, love this church! I've blogged about the church and the cemetery a few times...you can see those posts HERE, HERE, HERE, HERE, HERE, HERE, HERE, HERE, HERE and last but not least HERE....I need to make some time to get over there and take a walk...finally getting some warm weather by the weekend! Maybe I'll go then!
All of these pictures were taken in April of 2015.
