Long Walks~

My Honey and I have started walking on the "Rails to Trails" here in Pennsylvania. One of the areas is close to home. A little town called Hellertown. We have been coming to Wagner Grist mill since we were dating. I'm not going to say how long ago that was =)

There is a beautiful old grist mill, millers pond, and a "crick" along the way. We walked on the new rails to trails. What a beautiful walk. We went back again for a long bike ride too.

We saw a red tailed hawk in the trees and a blue Herron. Reminants of the old railroad along the way, like signal towers and whistle signs. Old electrical poles with all the insulators in different colors.

My favorite spot is the bridge that crosses over the "crick" with a small water fall. The mill race for the grist mill.

I'm so happy that they opened this new rails to trails so close to home. I'm sure we will walk or bike ride here for many years to come~

Even more flowers~

I've been on a flower and plant shopping spree lately. I bought a flat of pink Impatients, Swirl Raspberry and Accent Rose Star varieties to plant in the flower pots on my front porch steps. I also planted them in the barn pully planter I have hanging there. They will look so pretty when they start growing and fill out.

At the flea market I bought some new plants that I've never grown before. A Moon Flower vine which will have big white 6" flowers like Morning Glories, that bloom in the evening and smell like jasmine. I need to find a trellis or something for them to grow on. I guess I need to go shopping again =)

I also bought sweet potatoes vines in two colors, the chartruce green and a burgundy color. I just need to find a place to plant them.

Spring Morning~

A beautiful spring morning. Spent some time in the garden this morning tending to my newly planted flowers. Divided and moved perennial plants all over the garden last weekend to have more blooms this summer. Some of my favorite ones are pink cone flowers, the butterflies love them. I bought a few different colors late last summer and I can't wait to see them bloom this year. It's going to be hot and humid today so I wanted to enjoy the garden early~
