Elsewhere in My Neck of the Woods...

Yesterday I went to speak at a library in the next county. I traveled a road I'd passed by many times but never followed and discovered a lovely area, not thirty minutes away from where I've lived all these years. Rolling land, ringed with mountains, and some green, green pastures.  
As I drove along, the remains of an old water wheel caught my eye...  And I stopped for a closer look...
It was a nice group of folks at the library -- some old friends and acquaintances and several of those 'small world' moments. It's always nice to spend time with folks who like books -- and especially fun when I can discover a new-to-me corner of my world. An attempt to capture the eyelash moon that was waiting for me as I emerged from the library. . . it's there in the center -- really!
