Quiet Times, Nice Scenery.


The Good: I like seeing a mural decorating a construction zone! This one is in Winchester. The quote is from John F. Kennedy: "We choose to go to the moon not because it is easy but because it is hard."


The Random: Here are two pictures of barns in Fauquier County.

The Fun: I'm spending most of my time at home, so fun is a quiet thing right now. We are avoiding crowds and really any unnecessary contact with people. After all, there's a public health emergency and we don't want to contribute to it!

I do enjoy seeing the birds that visit our yard. I've been feeding them all winter so they are regular visitors.

Birds seen from my window.

  2. That mural brightens up the construction zone. You're blessed to have the birds come into your garden. Great photos of them and so different from those in the UK. Lovely country scene with the barns.

  5. We’re staying close to home as much as possible too or just walking, driving to places to walk. It would be a great time to have bird feeders ...I miss those. Take care!

  12. That is a lovely mural Linda and yes you are so right, best to keep away from the crowds for a while. Thankfully there are many beautiful outdoor areas to explore in the meantime.

  14. Linda - wouldn't it be great if all construction zones had such murals? We are also hunkered down for the next two weeks, mostly of our own choosing since we think it is the right thing to do. Taking a lot of consolation in having connections with the blogging community! Thanks for linking to Mosaic Monday!
