is this a cute baby or what?

Took this photo at First Friday Main Line

haven’t done a barn of the day in a while….

the best kind of summer afternoon

The best kind of summer afternoon involves sunny skies, low humidity, me and my camera.  Today was one of those days and I loved every minute of it!

My friend Pattye Benson asked for my help with the Tredyffrin Historic Preservation Trust’s 8th Annual Historic House Tour that is slated for September 22nd.

So off I went to photograph to my heart’s content.  What a glorious afternoon and what a fun tour this will be!

Interested in the tour?

8th ANNUAL HISTORIC HOUSE TOUR
9/22/2012
12 Noon – 5 PM
Ticket Price $35
Prepaid Tickets only, no sales at the door

See Tredyffrin Historic Preservation Trust Website for more details and how/where to buy tickets!

This was much more fun than being packed in like sardines over at the Helicopter Museum to be sandwiched between foaming at the mouth tea partiers and equally foaming at the mouth Obama lovers to listen to V.P. candidate Paul Ryan blather.

Yeah vote in November, but before you have to think about that, buy tickets to the Tredyffrin Historic Preservation Trust’s 8th annual Historic House Tour.  It is all for a great cause and historic preservation!

Keep it local, folks.  Hearth and home and history will be here long after politicians have come and gone.

not provence, just sugartown strawberries

There is nothing happier than to see a field of sunflowers bobbing .  Took these at Sugartown Strawberries today when I went to buy some produce and to try some of their new signature smoked meats and cheeses.

 

no one here but us corn cobs?

LOL…sorry… but this is a corn crib, isn’t it?  Or was it a chicken coop?  I am told I am a city gal on this and need to learn my farmer out buildings….Can you tell me WHERE I took this photo?

bird’s-eye view

I happened upon this house somewhere on the outskirts of Valley Forge Park.  Mind you I am still directionally challenged in my new county, but *SIGH* doesn’t this house seem to have a marvelous bird’s-eye view of the world?
