We went to Vardy Church Museum and Mahalia Collins Mullins's cabin yesterday.

I absolutely LOVED the arched windows on the house...unusual detail in a house from this era, around here, at least...maybe they're common other places, though...
We found SO many of these quilts...unfortunately, my camera batteries died and I didn't get nearly as many pictures as I wanted.

Also this old church....lovely!
and purple and pink columbines...
another old church...this time better taken care of.

DH said, "Make sure you get the tractors in the picture!" ; )
My favourite.

We walked *way* down in the woods today. It was simply lovely....

purple flowers blooming... cool water flowing...
interesting plants with pink stripes down their leaves...
Emma sitting down to rest...

SUCH a lot of beauty today! : )

I LOVE the way the colors POP in this pic! My family. Def. the *loveliest* things I've seen! : )
Trillium, white and red.
Violets at the base of a tree.
Oscar enjoying Stock Creek.
GREENS of the mountain. I LOVE SPRING GREENS! I can't say it enough! lol

A dogwood blooming in the forest.
Jack in his pulpit.

Jack-in-the-pulpit...*not* being spied on. lol


Daddy spotted this one for me....a maple seed taking root in a bridge.

I need to look this one up....my grandmother planted it, it's above her spring, but I don't know what it is. Red bud...or is it redbud? I think redbud.
Cherry. This particular tree has yellow cherries. They're good. ; )

And apple.

They smell SO good!

4-12-09, and 4-11

Backside of the tunnel. Trillium. Trilliui? lol
Squirrel corn! Who knew?
This one is an anomaly, quince blooms which the girls stuck in an invasive Bradford Pear. It's living on borrowed time....my DH wants to cut it down each summer when it starts branching out (it's right beside our front steps), but I intercede and it lives another year. When we get our new house, though, the probable path of the driveway will go right through it. Que Sera Sera.

A trout lily, a gift from one of my kids. : ) And hey, look...my reflection! lol
