Seasonal Sensations



Sweet and Creamy 
A New Addiction
Like I really need another addiction.


Fragrant
Lily of the Valley 
Beautiful, except for the inevitable sneeze that follows. 



Melodious 
House Wren
Endless, sometimes you just want the song to stop. 


Soft 
Pomeranian Ears 
And so lovable.


Eye Candy
Candy without the calories.

Little German Schoolhouse

It was a BEAUTIFUL day,
and enroute to my destination
I had an urge just to drive down a random country road.
Lo, and behold....

rh-6218

I heard angels singing.

rh-6214

A German schoolhouse was on this sight since the early 1700s
and run by the Deep Run Mennonite Church.
This structure was built about 1842.

rh-6213

If you peek inside a window,
there remain the old desks
and the wood stove.

I fell in love.
Cue Angels.

Amusing historical information can be found here.

Nabbed by Officer Robin

What seems to be the problem, Sir? 


rh-4552

No, I'm sorry, 
I do not know why you pulled me over. 

rh-4546 

Yes, my inspection is current. 

rh-4541

Just inspected this month in fact.

rh-4564

I believe you would need a search warrant
to justify entering my car, Sir.

rh-4577

No, I'm not trying to be a wise guy.
 I'm just stating the facts as I understand them.


rh-4572

Thanks for letting me go with just a warning
and, uh, well...that too.

rh-4586

It seems that now I have a marked car.
Lucky me.
