I was pleased to see that the date built was inscribed on a window over the door: 1876.

Sharing with Tuesday Treasures and Our World Tuesday. |
I found a mural to post today but first I want to acknowledge the holiday honoring Dr. Martin Luther King. Daily Word published a page which included a quote from him so I'm am basing the first part of today's post on that, starting with their affirmation.
Looking at the world today, it is tempting to feel discouraged or even angry at the discord and disagreement that seem to surround me. I pause to remember that no matter what is going on in my environment, peace begins with me. I breathe deeply and relax, softening my heart, calming my emotions, and easing my mind. I heed the words of Rev. Dr. Martin Luther King Jr., who said, “Peace is not merely a distant goal we seek, but … a means by which we arrive at that goal.”
Here are some peaceful scenes from Shenandoah River State Park for Mosaic Monday.
Shenandoah! A beautiful valley and a winding river -- how fortunate we are to live here! And since I love photography, I'm taking plenty of pictures and sharing them here. You'll find other subjects too. If you like historic sites or gardens or animals, you'll find them on this blog. Please visit often and feel free to comment.
