Millwood Mill, Cismont, Virginia


Millwood Mill, Cismont, Virginia

We took a day drive through the country and got to see this beauty. Early July 2020. My hubby can go "mill crazy" ...thankfully around Virginia are these amazing architectural treasures. so amazing. The hubby saw a vulture while visiting this one ...he was so shocked that he (she) didn't move??! I figured the bird was waiting on the hubby to move or die?? That is what vultures do, right? They are always looking for a snack. It was a pretty day. Not cool, the humidity was nuts ...Virginia summer usually stay in the temperature range of 70 degrees or above, rarely any wind (unless u have the fan moving said air) and usually an afternoon thunderstorm. It was a fun getaway for the day. More pictures from that day I will share next week. Thank you for stopping by. Hope you are well. Take Care. Beth ( ;

I too love old mills. Not many in this neck of the woods though. I used to find some when we lived in Illinois, but haven’t seen any in Oklahoma yet. Looking forward to more pics from your adventure.

it's a beautiful mill beth, and a great picture of it!! i really like day trips, a fun ride in the car, something cool to see, and you get to sleep in your own bed at night!!

i think vultures are usually looking for road kill, or small animals. i've not heard of them attacking people!!

our weather has been super hot and very humid. our pool water is 92 degrees, barely refreshing!!!

"Bar U Ranch" , National Historic Site. Established in 1882, it was huge ranching operation  "even more info here." .  if you know anything about me, you will know I have always wanted to live on a farm, own a farm, have horses, cows, dogs, cats, garden, fields, quiet & peace the whole 9 or is it 10 yards. I want a mountain view like in the movie "Legend of the Fall" .  so when we got the chance to visit this location I really enjoyed seeing how the ranchers came in a took over the whole ranching/cattle business. it was hard work, long hours but if you had the right team you would do just fine. the shot over the campfire is a pot of coffee & hot water. the lady, let me see, i think her name was Greta, that could so be wrong but it is what is popping in my head this moment. she was great at telling the story. these men would all do different jobs. the chef would run with all his team ahead of the folks to set up and get

Lincoln's New Salem, Petersburg, Illinois

"Lincoln's New Salem" , Petersburg, Illinois. Can we just say 1st how difficult it is to spell ILLINOIS. nuts!! I think it is even easier to spell MISSISSIPPI. right??! We were told about this site, thanks to a tour guide in Colorado, he said there is a man who works here that look just like Abe Lincoln himself during his young years. Now if you know anything about me, I LOVE HISTORY. 2nd I love anything Abe Lincoln, he's one of my most favorite presidents ever. So I was super excited to meet this gentleman, do you think he was working the day we visited? nope, any ways... A lovely walk & we had fun seeing all the animals. I wonder why we live in such big homes, this one above shows a nice size home all you need in one little room. Less space, less money to pay each month. Sounds good to me!!!
