The days are slowly flowing by and seem to melt one into the other. Maybe it is because we are in the south were everything seems to take on a slower pace. Up until today the only place we have been is to pick up groceries curbside. Today we took a ride into Corinth to pick up a prescription at Walgreens. Then we decided to take a short ride around the area. No particular destination just checking it out and making left and right turns through the area near their down town.

| The dandelions are in the grass outside our door. We went by a couple of fields today filled with yellow. |
 |
| I did a quick search when we stopped to take this picture. It seems there are several of these Historical Markers in the area. I will be doing some research and then we will take another ride. |
 |
| We also road by here. We could see where there is a place to access the Battlefield and noticed other markers in the field. There are no signs saying you cannot walk in the area so we will be going back with walking shoes on. |
 |
| Took these two pictures of the trees to the East of us as the sun set Wednesday Evening, April 15th. |
 |
| The last of the light hitting the top of the tree in the middle. We are surrounded by tall trees here so we really do not see the sun setting just the light fading. |
 |
| Even though it is just the two of us I did put out some Easter Decorations! |
 |
| I have feeling this tree never gets really thick with leaves but it is pretty just the same. Next I need to find out what kind it is. |
Happy Saturday! Take care and stay healthy.
We are glad you stopped by!
If you have time to leave a comment we would enjoy hearing from you.
It's nice to get out for a drive and see some nice sights :-)
ReplyDeleteIt is nice to get out and check out the area. Even if a lot is closed we can visit the outside.
DeleteLooking forward to your walking tour.
ReplyDeleteWe are too. Now the weather has to co-operate.
DeleteI love your post and always google on maps where your travels are taking you guys. Hi to Tom!
ReplyDeleteThank you, Brenda. I do the same thing when I read a blog, if I am not sure were they are, I google it on maps.Tom says hi back!
DeleteLove where you are! The dandelions are gorgeous..I'm thinking if you are really looking for something to do dandelion wine would be great! I'll help you drink it next winter :) haha. Love the battlefield! Enjoy..hugs to you both! :))
ReplyDeleteIt is a beautiful area. Dandelion wine it is a thought...LOL The older woman who lived next to us when I was very young used to make dandelion wine. I remember sitting in her living room at Christmas with my mom having a small glass with lots of sugar...lol Take care and hugs.
DeleteI know that dandelion field made you grin from ear to ear. :) It is gorgeous. Have a nice walking tour through the area, nice that some things are not blocked off and it is left to people to use their common sense in places like that. Too many parks are closed in my opinion, not trusting that 95% of us would be very careful. We need to be able to get out and walk in the fresh air.
ReplyDeleteTake care!
I smile every time I see a dandelion. I agree and hopefully when the rain stops and we go back it will still be open to walk through. I can see closing certain outside areas like playgrounds just because of all the contact but just places you can walk through I am not sure what the sense is. People, like you said, need to get out in the fresh air.
DeleteOh dandelions ... the bane of my existence. Every day I'm out picking and pulling on those critters that are taking up my entire yard!!! The yellow flowers are just to TRICK you!!
ReplyDeleteTom would agree with you. At least this year with no lawn it will not be a discussion we will be having. Did you just call them yellow flowers???...lol
DeleteI don't think I can look at a first or second dandelion of the year any more without thinking about you and your enjoyment at seeing them. Your view and enthusiasm have forever changed those moments in my mind. Thank you.
ReplyDeleteI love the greenery you are showing us and look forward to seeing more. A very nice area you are in, a number of things to see.
Stay safe!!!
What a lovely thing to say, Deb. Coming from you makes it very special to hear. I look forward to the next time we can sit and chat.
DeleteIt is a lovely area and I can see us coming back this way again another year. Tom and I are looking forward to checking out some of the places I found online. Even if it just ends up being a scouting mission of things to visit when they are open it should make for a nice couple of days.
Lots of places to see where History happened in the southern states. With this shelter in place you get to see them first hand. Cute decorations.
ReplyDeleteBe Safe and Enjoy the solitude.
It's about time.
You are right with our extended stay here we are learning more about the area.
