Never fear though, I just uploaded to Flickr quite a few photos for the two vacation wrap up posts, including the food ones and tonight, I have set aside a few minutes to finish the draft I started yesterday.
To tide you over until then, I'll share a few more pictures from my vacation, including two really interesting buildings I discovered while traipsing across Civil War battlefields. Do you feel like you are trapped in your neighbor's basement watching their vacation slides yet?
The first is the ruins of the oldest grist mill in Virginia.
This was just down the road from the Fisher's Hill battlefield and before I had a fun encounter with these cows at Rude Hill.
The pretty little white one followed me all over the battlefield like a puppy, including giving me a head butt in the bum when I quit scratching her ears.
But she led me to these ruins of this sad dog trot cottage and shed
before following my up the top of the hill and standing next to me to admire the view of rolling farmland in the Shenandoah Valley with the tops of the Appalachian Mountains in the far distance.
If I would have thought Maybelle, that's the name I gave my puppy-cow, and LB would have gotten along, I may have brought her home!
