The River Walk

I realized the other day that I never shared pictures from the River Walk section of the trail.  Well, that isn't what it is called, it is just what I call it, because, well, it runs along the Scioto River.  I finally took some pictures today when I was out trying to clear my head.

This is about 3/4 mile into this part of the trail...you come out of a long shaded section and it just suddenly opens up into this!

....down to the river....but then you have to come back up again on the other side.


I think I mentioned somewhere that there were fences up so that you can't fall into the river...well, this is one of them.

...ugh the uphill.  Kills me every.single.time.
What I call the back section, you are so level with the river then it is up and down through some hilly sections.

This part gets closed if it rains too much because of the river swelling.

Those stacks in the back belong to the paper mill - stinky!  Oh, and yes, that is a heart painted on the trail down in the left corner, they're painted pretty randomly around the trail.

They tried to kill me.  I swear.

The old Pump House...now an art gallery.  
 Oh, and my obsession with graffiti grows.....

Bookworm Wednesday!

I'm getting really good at rambling BWW!  I'm not doing a whole lot of reading so I'm still in the middle of Tully along with all the other books on my nightstand.

Why am I not reading a whole lot?  Well, ever since my grandpa was put in the hospital, my world has been kind of turned upside down and I'm still waiting on the other foot to drop - this translates to not getting knitting, reading, sewing, anything done outside of what I'm asked to do on the farm.  Plus, warmer temps on the farm means outside chores!   Since I don't have a book cover to show you, how about a photo dump?

This is how El and I sack out most nights.... 

B's daddy (my brother) is a firefighter/emt so this little rain jacket I found is perrrrrfect for him!  I love it so so so so much!

Look who came to visit his great grandpa when he was in the hospital!  My grandparents love this little guy so dang much and I'm so glad Trevor and Jamie could bring B out to visit!

Something must have caught his attention on my screen.  He is usually pretty interested in anything I've got pulled up.

Bedtime for the horses!

This is part of our back field.  The house/barn/little barn is on top of the hill and everything goes down from there.  And, yes, we have a pond.  Two actually.

See?  I really do live here!  haha

This is looking out along the back fence row.  Next to our property is an arena that occasionally has rodeos and other things during the summer.  Best part?  We always get in free :)

The ear hair!  It kills me!  This is Chirp - named because she can't meow correctly.

Kitty in a bucket!

When I sit on the couch in my bedroom, this is what I see.  Yep.  It is pretty here.

What do you do....

What do you do when there is a person that you just can't get off your mind?  This isn't someone that I should be thinking about or hoping to see or wanting to text or anything.  He needs to go.  Oh well.

In other, far happier, news, I'm going to JERSEY!  haha  My ldb, Camille, lives there and I'm going to visit her!  I'm beyond excited!  I'm looking at road maps and hotels tomorrow...or Tuesday, well, whenever I finish this dang scarf/cowl.  haha  I'm only going to be there for a few days and I think we already have a good idea of things we want to do: Love statue, Philly Art Museum, tattoos, and just general hanging out since we've never met in person!  Have you met other bloggy or online friends in real life?  I'm hoping that I will be able to make it up the coast a bit to visit my other online friend, Amanda, but that will depend on if I get any of the 8000 jobs I've applied for in the last couple of weeks since moving back to the farm.  Just gotta wait and see what happens I guess :)

GIVEAWAY!

Yep, you read that right!  Since it is Bookworm Wednesday (I will be posting my book this week later...) and well, I need a pick me up, I'm going to do my *very first* giveaway!

Want to know what you will win? 

~ Since it is BWW, there has to be a book, right?  Desire in the Sun by Karen Robards is one of my favorite no brain involved romance novels.  I've read it multiple times!  Joss & Lilah are thrown together and must survive relying on each other with no trust for the other so they need to figure things out fast!  It is really just a delightful book!  I may add another book or two ;)

~ I said that once I got to 10 followers via Blogger (that's the only place I know to keep track of regular followers....) I would do a giveaway with Scarlett Key, well, I hit 10 a little while ago.  You will get your pick of key fob from the shop!

~ You'll also get to pick a hair pin of your choice.  I should note here that I will be adding new key fobs and hair pins within the next week or so the options you see now will be expanded.... :)

~ Fun little bits and bobs from around my crafty world!  Not quite sure what that entails yet, but I keep a regular stock of fabric, button, beads, and so much more so it will be a bit of everything. 


Now, how do you win?!?!?  Here are the comments you can leave here, on this post, for a chance to win -- make sure you leave me an email to contact you (spell it out like this: prajaline(at)gmail(dot)com) :
1 - Leave 1 comment saying what you love the most about this blog!  I want to give you more of what you love, so it helps when I know what you love ;)
