ANTIETAM BATTLEFIELD and the BURNSIDE BRIDGE for WATERY WEDNESDAY

A WATERY WEDNESDAY POST

Linda and I cross the river as we leave Harpers Ferry heading for Antietam Battlefield where The Bloodiest One Day Battle in American History occurred. It is late in the day so first let’s stop for dinner at a cafe in Shepherdstown West Virginia

We are tired after a long day so a stop at the Bavarian Inn with it’s scenic location overlooking the Potomac river where fog and water are the order of the evening. ( can’t see the river for the fog)

We are up early the next day heading for the battlefield where for the purpose of this post we will explore The Burnside Bridge. On Sept. 17, 1862 General Burnside and 12,000 Union soldiers met the Confederate soldiers, under the command of Brigadier General Robert Toombs. (Today some say the Bridge is haunted)

WHAT A “HAM”

Joe Todd reporting from the Battlefield says,”Thanks for stopping by” and “We can all support our troops by supporting ”

TO THE FARM FOR A “MY WORLD” GROUNDHOG DAY CELEBRATION

Slate Run Living Historical Farm near Lancaster,Ohio

A “THATS MY WORLD TUESDAY POST

Slate Run Living Historical Farm to be specific.

First to the Farmhouse which is a  gothic revival house  built in 1856.

A quick peek inside: (The farmhouse has been restored by the metro parks staff )

Meet Mike who is in the process of restoring/fixing the windows in the chicken house.

What’s a farm without a barn and a few animals?

Meet the farm animals (they probably all have names)

JUST UP THE ROAD A FIELD WITH A COUPLE HORSES IN THE HOCKING HILLS near LANCASTER,OHIO

 PHOTO TAKEN AT SSPOTTED HORSE RANCH IN THE HOCKING HILLS

Footprints In The Sand - Leona...

     A couple days ago I posted a STORY about a young boy, his hammer,nails,and a fence. Well just up the road there is a field with a couple horses in it.

This story showed up in another email I received and I enjoyed it as much as the story about "NAILS IN A FENCE" so I thought I would share. Will end the post with a few photos from the Hocking Hills Hike. Just for SCENIC SUNDAY

This year the six mile hike seemed to me to be a little more strenuous than usual (I did finish). I guess I’m getting a little older and I know for sure I need to exercise more and loose some weight. Does that sound like a resolution? Will give periodic updates on how the “resolution” is coming… LOL

As Always Thanks For Stopping By

QUALITY TIME INSPIRATION JUST FOR TODAY

 

I wish you enough sun to keep your attitude bright.
I wish you enough rain to appreciate the sun more.
I wish you enough happiness to keep your spirit alive.
I wish you enough pain so that the smallest joys in life appear
much bigger.
I wish you enough gain to satisfy your wanting.
I wish you enough loss to appreciate all that you possess.
I wish you enough "Hello's" to get you through the final "Goodbye."

OHIO SKIES FOR SKY WATCH FRIDAY IN THE BEAUTIFUL HOCKING HILLS

A SKYWATCH POST

Riders In The Sky - Riders In ...

Beautiful skies from all around the world.

He answered and said unto them, When it is evening, ye say, It will be fair weather: for the sky is red. And in the morning, It will be foul weather to day: for the sky is red and lowring. O ye hypocrites, ye can discern the face of the sky; but can ye not discern the signs of the times?
Author: Bible
Source: Matthew (ch. XVI, v. 2-3)

Life is like this: sometimes sun, sometimes rain

 

“THE SKY IS LOW,THE CLOUDS ARE MEAN” EMILY DICKINSON

“The sky is low, the clouds are mean,
A travelling flake of snow
Across a barn or through a rut
Debates if it will go.
A narrow wind complains all day
How some one treated him;
Nature, like us, is sometimes caught
Without her diadem.”
