I Made It!!!

I’m in Romney using the town library’s wireless Internet. It is slow, but better than nothing. If it weren’t for the Hampshire County Library going wireless, I wouldn’t be able to work from our humble mountain abode.

Which, by the way, is what I should be doing. Work that is. So, back to it.

We’ll be in WV for a few days, so you won’t see any new posts for a while.

I’d Rather Be in West Virginia

Continuing with yesterday’s Anywhere But Here theme…

As most of my loyal readers know, Hubby and I built a house in West Virginia. Literally. Over a period of three years, we spent every free weekend there laboring away.

Our WV property is just under six acres. We’re a two-mile drive from the main road, surrounded by woods on all sides. There’s a road below the ridge behind us–Poland Hollow Road–but with only a few houses, the road isn’t very busy.

This is why we feel pretty safe letting our dogs roam free. They never go very far and usually don’t stay away from the homestead very long. They both enjoy it there. Meg likes it far more than C. In fact, Meg LOVES it. Her tail usually wags for hours after we arrive.

Meg really is a country dog at heart. The girl loves to run. In WV there’s space to do just that. She’s in her element.

I always tell people that she pouts when we are at home in Maryland. Today’s picture is evidence. That’s pretty much how she looks all week. Until she sees us packing, that is. Then she perks up considerably and is once more her usual, crazy self.

Today I’ll be heading to WV (hopefully) on my motorcycle. Hubby will follow tomorrow in the truck, bringing all our gear and the girls. The plan is to spend a four-day weekend in WV with our good friends the Spices. Riding our motorcycles by day and relaxing by night.

In other words, we FINALLY get to do what the WV place was built for.

I won’t be posting for a few days. There’s no Internet connectivity unless I ride into town and visit the library. But maybe I’ll have some good pictures when we get back.

On another note …

Today is my Dad’s 70th birthday.

HAPPY BIRTHDAY, DAD!!!

Not that he’ll see this. He isn’t computer minded. But I thought the world should know.

Besides, maybe my Mom, who is computer minded, will see this and say, “Hey, look. You made it to the Internet today. Now the whole world will know it is your birthday.”

If only the whole world read my silly little Blog.

A Walk in the Woods

RAIN has its pluses and minuses. The best thing about Spring rain is that it makes everything really green. I haven’t checked the record books, but this is definitely the wettest, coolest Spring I can remember. It seems like it rains every day.


But that really is okay, because everything is amazingly green. The picture shown above was taken this past weekend at our West Virginia house. This is a spot I don’t usually visit. It really isn’t our property, but it is a path of sorts (an old logging road) that leads to our property from Poland Hollow Road. Finding the green grass and scattering of wildflowers was a nice surprise.

That is one of the reasons I like wandering through the woods with my camera; I never know what I might find. And it really is very peaceful. I can certainly think of worse ways to spend a morning or afternoon!
