Well here we are …

Folks have  told me I need to have a Blog , so I am trying to become a Blogger.

So I begin this new adventure, not really sure of myself in this new technology but, nothing ventured, nothing gained.  I keep my fingers crossed.  Click ~ Click

Another Blast of Mountain Winter

You will notice that there are no images with this post. Too  many cute little snowflakes have bonded to form a downfall of snow that renders images  invisible.

Another opportunity to sit back, light the fire, crack open a bottle of wine, pick up a book and wait out yet another storm! Northern Michigan gave us 25 years of practice for these types of winters … but wait isn’t that why we left that area??????   Click ~ Click

Weather Sets A Record

As the remnants of  snow  which dumped on us  late December finally  disappeared , the Snow Gods dumped another 6 – 7 inches on us yesterday! Woke this morning to -2 degrees which they say set an all time record for this part of the Commonwealth! Oh well … it does look lovely outside.

Decided it was time to post a Warm Weather Memory in the hopes that it will warm me up …  I took the Red Bridge at Magnolia Gardens, Charleston, South Carolina. The outside bar, during one of our stays on Edisto Island about 40 minutes from Charleston.  During the off-season Edisto Island is a lovely, quiet getaway!  There are no traffic lights on the Island.While we where there the  pace was so laid back but during the  in-season frantic, frantic! This is a great family destination for summer Island living!

Warm Weather Memories

Virginia along with other areas in the country are experiencing  unusually cold weather. Items long packed away  made their way back into the closet: warm coats, hats & gloves. The following images were also very helpful in channeling “warm” thoughts.

Any time on the Island finds you at ease enjoying warm breezes. Easy to understand the relaxed attitude found when spending time here.

Sunday Drives

For as long as I can remember Charlie & I have taken Sunday drives.  Try to see new areas when possible you just never know what you might stumble on to!

This red barn spotted on M-66 in Charleviox, MI.  The barn with the dusting of snow  taken during a Sunday drive the first winter we were in Virginia.

Old Wooden Silos

There doesn’t appear to be many of these wonderful old farm structures left.

Found a few in Northern Michigan around Charleviox & Boyne City.

Haven’t seen any wooden silos  in Virginia.

If anyone sees one please take a photograph as wooden silos are quickly becoming a image of the past.

What You See Is What You Get!

WHITE FLAG WAVING

I am calling a truce with the Blossom  page, if this is how it wants to look ~ fine by me!

Just hope it looks the same time each time I open the page!

Will find out how well it works the next time I go to add an image.

Start Over (again)

Okay I give up. I am going to delete the page and contents again.

Will start again after I leave the computer for a time out!  Click – Click

Blossoms Page

Well there went an hour and with no results and frustration level on the rise!

Can’t get my images to insert and stay in the position I want. Jeez, I only want

to list them one under each other with alignment to the left.  Time to walk

away again.   Click ~ Click

Sorry

The Blossom Page is driving me crazy right now. I have deleted the entire page and will start fresh shortly. Sorry for any confusion I may have caused to those who may have been browsing. I am taking a deep breath and will return.   Click ~ Click

Warmer Times

Cape Eleuthera, Bahamas

Great place to be with camera in hand.

Thinking  positive thoughts of a “warmer” place ~ but checking out Siesta Key, Fla. for April!

Hearing reports of warmer weather on  its way.

Add that to our bright sunshine & clear blue skies ~PRICELESS
