The Good: After a rainy Saturday, we enjoyed a sunny day on Sunday, although it was windy. We don't have much autumn color yet and flowers are still blooming.

The mural goes around a corner and into an alcove so a section is not clear in the photo, which I took with my cell phone. The soldier in front of it is a cardboard figure representing the VMI cadets were famously fought in the 1864 Battle of New Market.

The Fun: On Sunday we went to Arbor Fest in Boyce. I bought a shrub and some bulbs and got to pet an alpaca. Alpacas are soft and cute and not aggressive like llamas.

Looks almost like summer there. Seeing color and decrease of blooms here.
ReplyDeleteThe autumn colors are slow to come. Our flowers are crowded out by weeds, which makes me "almost" wish for a freeze.
ReplyDeleteIt's lovely that your flowers are still blooming and keeping Autumn at bay for a little while longer. Gorgeous mosaic, glad you stopped by for MM again this week.
ReplyDeleteAlas for the restaurant. We've gotten into cooler weather, with frost at night.
ReplyDeletePretty mural. It's a shame the restaurant is closed. That's a lovely flower collage, and the alpaca is sweet-looking.
ReplyDeleteSad about the restaurant closing, the alpaca looks very friendly up close. You did a great job creating that flower collage.
ReplyDeleteLove the alpaca!
ReplyDeleteAm surprised that still a lot of flowers are blooming where you live. That is some mural!!And the alpaca is beautiful! It's always sad when a restaurant or store closes after being a part of the community for so long! Thanks you for sharing these lovely details with SEASONS. Hope your foot is healing well? Have a great week!
ReplyDeleteMy foot is healing, thanks. I still can't walk very far but every day is better.
DeleteWhat an intricate mural. The depth of field and detail is impressive. Thanks for contributing to this week's Monday Mural.
ReplyDeleteAnother fun post Linda. I enjoyed all the photos and the mosaics of flowers. Thanks for sharing them with Today's Flowers, so very much appreciated :)
ReplyDeleteA sweet post. Your flowers are gorgeous.
ReplyDeletePretty post! Beautiful flowers artfully arranged in your mosaic, sweet alpaca. But sorry about the restaurant closing, always sad to see an iconic local go out of business.
ReplyDeleteOh, very sad about the restaurant! I hope the mural will be preserved. May be one day I will succeed in convincing my husband to let me have 2 alpacas.
ReplyDeleteI'm smitten with alpacas! Lots of pretty flowers in your mosaic. Sad to hear of the restaurant closing.
