I am hoping for a bit of snow when I go away up to the mountains for a fun stitching weekend.

Hope you all have a lovely weekend whatever you are doing.

Good Fences #12

There is a very little bit of wire fence there. I got very excited to see this sign up where I sometimes walk at Birdsland Reserve.

Good Fences #10

Another one of my morning walk photos. You can barely see the fence here, the grass is so long, green and lush. One my favourite views, I'm so pleased it's just down the road

Travelling.... part 2 (lots of pics......)

I was going to this Lancaster County part in 2 parts, but decided I would give it to you  all at once. There was so much to see in 2 days, it just was not long enough. So with the little bit we saw (the tons of photos I took) and fell in love with this area, I have decided that I have to put it onto the itinerary for next time (yes there IS a next time)

The Pennsylvania Welcome Centre

The Welcome Centre overlooks the Tioga Reservoir and township

I continued doing my daily morning walk (if you are on facebook you will know I'm on a mission now, for those of you who don't know, I have been walking everyday for the past 2 and half years.........mandatory health thing has turned into a bit of an obssession, I not missed a day, so I was determined to not miss a day while in the USA either!! Too close to 1000 straight to miss one !!)

Walking around the back of Ronks in the morning was bliss. Saw a lot of the Amish doing their daily chores, the children running to school, that was so special see :-D (sorry no photos of that), it was just a wonderful experience. 

 A farm

A moveable chicken coop

Shopping at this place was just......ummmmm yep!! Could have spent all my pennies there!!

Love this 

Homes around  

The Mill and Herr's Mill Bridge below

 Could never get enough of this view!!

....or this 

....or this

Perfect end to 2 wonderful days 

?? a red breasted robin, saw lots of these 

and this not so great photo is the only half decent pic I managed to take of a Cardinal......... which is now officially my 'favourite' bird!!! They are sooooo cute!!! 

I must find a table-runner/quilt/stitchery pattern or something with them on. I looked but didn't find anything. I'm sure I will, just need to keep my eyes open.

Next stop Lynchburg VA and Bedford PA

Till next time

On my recent trip to the US I did remember to look out for fences. This gorgeous fence at the amazing Niagara Falls

Linking with Good Fences. Have a wander over and check out some beautiful fences and scenery.

Travelling....part 1

Where do I begin??? Oh the excitement, the fun, the places I went..........and I only did 3 weeks!!!

I returned home last week from my first overseas trip in 25 years (the hard part was leaving hubby at home, next time we'll do it together)!! But I still had the most amazing time, met the most wonderful people and saw spectacular things.

Sunset, up in the sky style

We left on the 2nd May and arrived in Pittsburgh the same day :-) International date line is good for something!! We had ourselves a good nights sleep and picked up our car the next morning for my first drive in the USA ( I volunteered to be driver). Now that was a very interesting experience, driving on the other side of the road, in the OTHER seat!!! But I got the hang of it after a few days. The first stop was in Lockport,

not far from Niagara Falls, where we met a new friend Lynn, Gail met on Lynn on facebook (the patchwork and quilling world is wonderful for things like that) we got to know Lynn a little via Facebook  before we actually met face to face!! What a wonderful lady, it was a real pleasure to have spent time with her :-)

Lynn took us to Niagara Falls, both sides, I had a day free of driving, but I learnt new (to me) road rules.

Niagara Falls, what can I say, it's...........breath taking, beautiful, huge, amazing, spectacular etc etc.

Found this gorgeous little sculpture while out on a morning walk in Lockport

Next stop was Lancaster County, photos on that next week.

Till next time
