Happy Valentines Y'all and Ruby Tuesday

Yesterday we went to a wedding reception of these two


it was so lovely all pink and black and white photos


and this cute 'canopy" I liked it a lot


and saw my old young friend, in from Alaska,who in her stocking feet,
makes me in heels feel very short (note to self, at my age, avoid standing so close in pictures to the very young and very beautiful)


we then went and got this new fun toy
and went to a fun dance and made some fun memories but no pictures


and this Am I made this fun heart shaped breakfast


and I received these this morning as well, which was a rare treat for me:)


all and all a great Valentines!!

MY Worldand Ruby Tuesday Skyline drive Virginia

Ruby Tuesday
We got to go up the skyline drive in Virginia 2 weeks ago we hoped for Fall color
but ...

the closer we drove the color was not changing

we stopped on the road for apples and sarsaparilla

they were so fresh! The owner said just delivered the day before from local orchards YUMMMy!!

then we saw a little color

and got hopeful for the next days hiking




when we drove up to our hotel we saw this lovely sky I will post more of these on sky watch Friday


we went out to a park and caught these shots



then the next day we started out


and were greeted by this beauty at the trailhead of Marys peak (I think)




before hiking/ love my timer

along the trail


we took their picture and they took ours


two vistas from the trail We know we were early for peak color but it was still beautiful

can you see the tiny road

you know me I love red and i loved these creepers I hope they did not hurt the trees

the timer is only as good as the rock I set it on:)

What a canopy

these stone walls were at each overlook on our way down


Can you tell I love red leaves:)

byeee I hope we see this beauty again- It was nourishing to my soul
