Piece of HEAVEN

 












This house in Dugspur, VA (we stayed for a week in end of August early Sept 2024) ... Carroll County, Route 221 ... such a beauty ... I think it was Air BNB or another such situation ... I forget all the names, the hubby is in charge there ...this was a location so quiet, off the beaten path (gorgeous gardens, enjoyed the decorative fencing, so well taken care of, the decor inside the home was so cute) ... surrounded by cows ... birds, all other critters. It such a nice time to just chill. Look at those views, those clouds ...the hosts were so kind, so friendly ... we have been so lucky to have found some of the best hosts ...really perfect ... she brought us homemade cake and tomatoes from her garden. We looked around her property ...so lucky are they ... glad they did share the views with us and what a blast!! A real welcome time to get there and just disconnect from the world and go to this heaven for the evening. After our biking trips and exercise it was nice to get out and enjoy it. Taking the time to open and close 2 cattle gates and just veg ..having our meals out on the patio. Having a nice cold drink, rocking in the rocking chairs. The hubs in the hammock, I have fallen out of hammocks in my earlier days so they are not my favorite seat. He can have those this day and age. What a good vacation. Are you ready for the New Year? What are you reading lately? Take Care and thank you so kindly for stopping by. See ya again soon. Beth ( ;

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 ...

( : Where do we even start?, I continued to say to my hubby throughout our trip to Washington, Oregon, northern CA back in August 2015, that I wondered how I could take a picture of the whole tall tree? The trees in in the eastern US are huge, but the trees out west are gigantic, massive, huge!! There are .... THEY ARE! ...how do I even begin to show a picture of these awesome trees? I don't own a fancy camera just a normal point and shoot. How do I express to you the magnitude of how tall these massive trees are? they are huge!!! & will you...
