The mill parking lot is a reliable spot for seeing mallard ducks. You can walk down to the creek to take a closer look. It’s an enchanting spot.

Stony Creek, Edinburg Mill
Shenandoah County, Virginia
I recall being impressed the first time I saw this mill over 30 years ago. It did not have the flood wall then.
The mill was built by George Grandstaff in 1848 in to grind wheat and corn into flour.

I always love ducks in water
ReplyDeleteMallards on a pond is about as tranquil and delightful as it gets.
ReplyDeletePretty scenes, love the creek and ducks. Take care, have a great day!
ReplyDeleteHaving mill ground flour, or corn meal is so important to a family's food sources. It's amazing what we buy off the shelf now at a grocery which used to take all these involved steps before we could cook with them!
