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

Always Excited to Kayak

Summer is winding down and I was so excited to get on the river;
the Allegheny River is my salvation

Can never get enough fast water, still need to whitewater

Watching fish in clear water, deep breaths of fresh air, and the majesty of seeing blue herons in flight is what makes living here worthwhile

Lady in Red

Visitor to the back deck that I had to photograph through the screen door so I would not scare her away. She is such a very pretty lady.

Oh My Deer

Ah a refreshing drink of water

What you looking at ?

Dang Paparazzi

I'm out of here !

Wilted Wildflowers

It has been one dry hot summer. Finally seeing some relief from the heat and the rains have come.
