Lambs!

Our very first stop was Over Jordan Farm, also known as Bean Hollow Grassfed. They had day-old lamb twins, and the farmer let us hold one. Isn't he cute?

The farm is a demonstration farm for rotational grazing. The objective is to actually improve the soil while raising healthy animals. We've run into a similar practice a few years ago on a farm tour in Warren County.

Wardensville Random-osity

The second building in this combined image is now an arts center. We enjoyed seeing the work of some very talented artists.
The Random: In the Star Mercantile, I found a couple of murals. The longer one has a cut-thru in the lower left, revealing a room behind it. The other one is partially obscured by a display shelf.
The Fun: Frank found a friend in the mercantile!

Tiny Little Bird
I love seeing hummingbirds or just hearing their fast-moving wings buzz. So far the ones that visit my feeders are shy and rarely stick around long enough for me to take a picture. But I did get a couple of clear shots, finally!

September on Bucks Mill Road
Let's start this brief tour with a nice barn scene for the Good Fences linkup. Next we have a sign hanging from a chain in front of a fishing spot on the North Fork. This is for the Signs Signs meme.
The county "had no money" to buy this. Thus it is PRIVATE PROPERTY... If you have permission, text (preferred) or call each time you come here. Pick up all trash. Owner not responsible for any accidents.

Freight Train
We had to wait for a long train to cross at Rockland Road. This is near the Virginia Inland Port, where freight is transferred from trucks to trains and vice versa.
As we see here, large containers are often double-stacked. These containers often come all the way from China via ships that come into seaports like Newport News. From the train, they can be transferred to trucks, where they are set on wheels to become the "trailer" part of tractor trailers.
