So we went for our hour and a half hike on a different trail.
Cool looking boulders.
Lots of pine cones.
I can't imagine what it was like here a 100 years ago.
The sign of an old family graveyard.
Crude stones marking the graves.
A couple I years ago I went to a lecture about Southern family cemeteries. Another sign that this might be a cemetery is the vinca.
It is hidden under the leaves here. If you see a field of vinca it might be covering an old burial ground.
It was a very interesting lecture. This spot was about 2 miles back in the woods. Again it must have been very different 100 years ago.
Here is some progress on Loose Feathers.
I am tired and getting ready to go to bed.
Have a great Monday Friends!

What a very interesting post! Too bad about the fire ... I hope it didn't cause too much damage. John & I enjoy hiking as well although there's not place around where we live now to hike. Your project is coming along wonderfully! Blessings, Shirlee

Sounds like you had a nice hike Chris. I hope the fire didn't do too much damage. Your stitching is looking good!
A forest fire is very scary, I am so glad that you are safe.
I wonder what the history is of the family who are buried in the woods.
Happy Valentines Day.
Lovely pictures from the hike and interesting about the vinca and cemeteries!
Love your BBD!
Nice progress on your BBD!
Loved the pictures from the hike. What a story those woods could tell. Fascinating!
Two miles back in the woods? I would need a buggy to take me out. Looks like an interesting place to explore.
