We have found two horseshoes over the years in different spots on the property, indicating that these animals played a role in working the land in the 1800s. A sign of good luck, I smile and appreciate those early settlers who shaped this land.

Natural Terrarium
I discovered a natural terrarium growing out of an old pine stump. Just like my grandmother used to collect in the fall, there were Indian Matchsticks and a tiny tree, as well as mushrooms. I smiled and became a child again.

Long Lasting Stonecrop
The succulent perennial known as stonecrop has pink blossoms that turn to a deeper red in the fall to provide beauty when most all other fall colors have faded away. There are people who inspire in the same way.
