Blue bird day in the blue ridge

The warm sunshine and cool breezes felt so good listening to the quite hum of crickets we couldn't bring ourselves to get up. So we just laid there in that field with the afternoon sun and watched turkey vultures wheel high above in the blue.

I've taken Martha to Charlottesville to see the town, one of my favorites in the state. To wander the downtown - full of good music venues and good pubs. (This is a college town after all.) And to visit some nearby wineries, and then get distracted wandering old fields and playing with goats. And to see my friends Will and Julie, along with attendant munchkin.

It was a lovely afternoon and memorable evening. If I was ever to settle down in Virginia it would be around these parts...
