We had heavy frost last night here in Virginia.
Fall is REALLY here now.
I do love the Fall colors.
And, flannel shirts.
And, lighting that first fire in the fireplace!

A dream home doesn’t need to remain a dream.
Where do you see yourself five years from now?
There are only two options… make plans, or make excuses.
Decide what you want, create a plan, and then… take the next step… and then the next one… and then the next one…

This is the first Washington Monument dedicated to the memory of George Washington. It was erected by the citizens of Boonsboro, Maryland in 1827.
“On July 4, 1827 at 7 a.m., most of Boonsboro’s 500 inhabitants assembled at the public square. Behind the Stars and Stripes and stepping spiritedly to the music of a fife and drum corps, they marched two miles up the mountain to the monument site. The citizens worked until noon and then held a dedication ceremony and lunch. They resumed work and by 4 p.m. the monument stood fifteen feet high on a 54-foot circular base. The day ended with the reading of the Declaration of Independence and a three round salute fired by three Revolutionary War veterans. The workers returned that September to finish. Upon its completion, the monument stood 30 feet high.”
It has been rebuilt several times and is currently closed to the public after being struck by lightning this past summer.

Of course we know why this wonderful stone chimney is SO wide (she must be ten feet wide at the base, rather than the standard six feet)… I imagine that there is one impressive cooking fireplace on the inside of this cabin!

Tim McGraw- Faith Hill own a log cabin… not what I would consider a modest cabin… but nonetheless, she is an old log home.

Sometimes the grass is greener on the other side.

sn’t it amazing that a home can be built with no intention of impressing the neighbors, but ends up impressing everyone, for over a century?

If you are thinking of taking on a stone project, whether a wall out front, or perhaps an entire cottage, you will need a good pickup truck.
