PETTICOAT JUNCTION

Quarantine Greetings from Petticoat Junction!!!! 

As most of my out of town friends call this fair hamlet. While it is a quaint area, I neither wear petticoats, or do my laundry down by the creek on a rock with a tub. Although, I do have trains tracks on the other side of the woods. I took some time away off line, since it was so gorgeous out this weekend. It was a open all the windows, let the drapes blown in the wind, sit outside,  kind of weekend. All open air! It does the mind and soul good to be outdoors I think.  In fairness... I did see some online drag shows. I had my neighbor Brice in for a social distancing dinner of my stuffed peppers I made along with homemade bread...even sent him home with a loaf.  We hooted and hollored over watching Lady Bunny and Bianca go head to head. Good times! I also got some walking in. Why sit in, when were in doors all the time? Felt good too, also took a nice long walk about around ma' hood when I went to get fresh eggs......

Another barn turned into a house. This is a huge thing here.
The church and cemetery next to the Casa.
Another recently renovated home. The original houses dates to 1898.
A neighbor's gazebo.
Weekly take out from the Carversville Inn.
The old Lumbermill sits near the Chicken Coop Lady's property. I have always loved this place.
There will be a bar-b-q at Twelve Oaks tonight!!!!
Today, while walking the property here, Vixen made an appearance....and she gave me a good first glimpse of one of the new pups. I think she might have three, as I heard other ruslting in the foliage behind her... but not sure.
That was worth the whole walk alone today. She seemed very trusting. I don't know from year to year if she remembers me or not..but to get that close surprised me, even though this is a zoom in.

It was a good weekend. And needed.

SEEN AROUND TOWN

Well after a one day work week....yes dear ones.....looks like my work life is back to normal again, the Mistress is grossly behind in blog reading. But today I'm relaxing after a nice long snooze and a breakfast with homemade Stollen and coffee. Here are a few snaps taken during the holiday this week seen around . Its been a more relaxing week than a normal season for me....and I am not complaining.

City Hall Philadelphia

Buster and Lilith. "We didn't do it we swear"

Farms Market. Picked up my pork roast and sauerkraut for New Years Day.

For a Christmas gift, the Mother got a me a gift....a day at the Spa at Hotel Hershey. The day was spent on the 23rd being pampered... getting a facial, massage, deep body exfoliate and cocoa wrap and a mani/pedi! I didn't know whether to relax or lick myself. The place is so relaxing and elegant. 

In between treatments they serve you hot drinking chocolate....Hershey style!

Followed by martinis at the end of the day. Mine was a expresso chocolate martini.
One night while coming home from New Hope, I saw a dog wondering all over the back roads. I pulled over in fear someone may hit him. He ran right to me and he jump in the car. Once I got to a location to pull into, I saw his name was Boone on his collar, so I called his very happy owners. They came to pick him up. A happy ending.

Independence Hall on a cold day.

Beautiful snap of City Hall through the lit trees.

Philadelphia Art Museum rotunda.

Meanwhile at work Friday.....no pictures...PLEASE!

One of the stores better clients.

Dinner a few weeks ago in beautiful Lahaska

It was a good season. To me it's not what's under the tree for Christmas, but who's around the tree.
