O59°f/15°C, clear.
Random photos from the past week:
Last night's open mic, with host
Corey Hager presenting one of his original songs. He puts a lot into hosting this bi-weekly event, and even offers a
songwriting workshop beforehand. Great singer and person.
Little gems of sweetness! The
cherry and pear tomatoes refuse to give up despite the lack of rain.
Roadside beauty:
ironweed and
wingstem.
Part of Haley's steep, narrow driveway. There are little shelters along the side, one of which you can just barely see on the left of those photo, that hold salt and sand. Which makes me think it must be tricky in winter.
Mailbox for a local towing company. I bet the mail carrier hates it.
Farmington, a small town close to Haley's house, was the site of the terrible
Farmington No. 9 mine disaster. We visited the site once; it was eerie to realize we were standing probably on top of the graves of the unrecovered bodies of some of those poor miners. I found a little glass inkwell in the creek there, which I still have.
Ummm....I was glad that guardrail was there! Seen along
Route 2, which borders the
Ohio River, not too far from home.
There are many homes built of this kind of stone in north central West Virginia. I guess it's river rock? The area had and still has a strong Italian heritage. I believe last weekend
Clarksburg hosted their annual
Italian Festival.
Just look how carefully fitted the stones are. Amazing.
