In the Countryside near Stanley

Not much was open for a Mothers Day event but it was a pretty day to take a ride in the country. This stone church caught my eye. It is St. George's Episcopal Church on Pine Grove Road.


A plaque says this older part of the church was built in 1932. To the right is an addition built in 1968.


A sign on the addition says that "Due to the Covid-19 crisis, all church activities, including worship, have been suspended until further notice."

We continued our ride through Page County. I pulled into a driveway to take a picture of a red barn with silos.




Often there is no place to pull over to take barn photos, but this time I actually found three safe vantage points.

The area was also rich in poultry farms.
