Gotcha !

After 2 summers kayaking on the Allegheny River I finally got a good pic of my favorite bird the Great Blue Heron

Sleeping Dinosaur

To me this rock looks like the head of a happy sleeping brontosaurus.
Do you see what I see ?

Route 6 Mural

This mural along Route 6 in Mt. Jewett, PA depicts the history and heritage of the area. Mt. Jewett was settled by Swedish immigrants as depicted by the ship.

In Elk and Forest Counties is the largest elk herd east of the Mississippi River

The Kinzua Viaduct when it was constructed was the largest train viaduct in the world. An F-1 tornado took most of the historic structure tumbling to the valley below.

The mural is showing signs of age; hopefully there is a plan in place for maintaining this beautiful piece of roadside art. If you are traveling in the area be sure to visit this beautiful mural.

Canning Season

Loved this time of year as a girl when my grandma would begin canning

The old stove in the basement used to make the currant berry jelly, chunky applesauce, and canned pears. The aroma would fill the house.

An essential tool for sealing the jars as something else was being prepared. Miss you grandma
