The VDW site said that the park once hosted &#8216;Virginia&#8217;s most prominent citizens&#8217; but it doesn&#8217;t say who lived there, or when!\u00a0 I did not have my camera with me but I will describe them as best as I can.\u00a0 The old farm lane led uphill, past fields overgrown with golden rod, but not yet overtaken by small scrub trees and woodland trees.\u00a0 Shadow flushed birds out of the fields; I tried to identify them but couldn&#8217;t, and I&#8217;m wondering if they were migratory birds.<\/p>\n<p>At the top of the hill stood a homestead consisting of several old farm houses, what we took to be root cellar doorways, a spring house, and a big barn.\u00a0 There were two homes connected by a sort of dog trot or breezeway; both homes were covered with wood plank siding, which was falling off in spots revealing log cabins chinked with mud underneath.\u00a0 An old well out back had been fitted with an electric pump, but the mechanism was exposed.\u00a0 The doors were open on the house but the &#8220;Safety Zone&#8221; signs indicated it wasn&#8217;t safe to explore, so we peeked in.\u00a0 The main room of the bigger cabin had a stone fireplace; we counted three visible fireplaces and chimneys in all.\u00a0 The house must have been inhabited until fairly recently because there was a small, newer-type satellite dish mounted on a small, functioning chimney.<\/p>\n<p>Throughout our hike, we came across ruins of old buildings but one thing stands out;\u00a0 no matter where we go, houses fall into ruins, but a lot of the time the barns are still standing.\u00a0 I think half the time our ancestors built the barns sturdier than the house!<\/p>\n<p>We did a second hike down another old farm lane.\u00a0 This time there were no intriguing buildings, just lovely hills decorated with rustling autumn leaves, black vultures circling overhead, and a terminus at the rushing waters of the Appomattox River, where we sat for a while to catch our breath and watch leaves swirl among the light rapids.<\/p>\n<p>Shadow loved her walk around the wildlife preserve.\u00a0 It was her third birthday, by the way.\u00a0 She celebrated with some of my homemade apple pie, which I made when I came home.<\/p>\n<p>Talk about the perfect autumn weekend!\u00a0 Here are some random photos taken around our farm over the weekend &#8211; enjoy!<\/p>\n<div style=\"clear: both; text-align: center;\"><\/div>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<table style=\"margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto; text-align: center;\" cellspacing=\"0\" cellpadding=\"0\" align=\"center\">\n<tbody>\n<tr>\n<td style=\"text-align: center;\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" style=\"margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto;\" src=\"http:\/\/homegardenjoy.com\/site\/wp-content\/uploads\/2010\/10\/gardenmum-300x200.jpg\" width=\"320\" height=\"213\" border=\"0\" \/><\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td style=\"text-align: center;\">Mums near my back deck<\/td>\n<td style=\"text-align: center;\"><\/td>\n<td style=\"text-align: center;\"><\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<\/tbody>\n<\/table>\n<div style=\"clear: both; text-align: center;\"><\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>&nbsp; Welcome to my kitchen I spent almost the entire weekend outdoors.\u00a0 Saturday I gardened, digging up those 79 pounds of sweet potatoes, clearing the watermelon bed, and taking in the late season tomatoes.\u00a0 Today I&#8217;ll harvest all the tea herbs and hang them on my CD shelf rack turned herb drying rack in the&#8230;<\/p>\n<p><a class=\"more-link\" href=\"https:\/\/homegardenjoy.com\/site\/2010\/10\/autumn-outdoor-adventures.html\">Read More<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":2012,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"wprm-recipe-roundup-name":"","wprm-recipe-roundup-description":"","_genesis_hide_title":false,"_genesis_hide_breadcrumbs":false,"_genesis_hide_singular_image":false,"_genesis_hide_footer_widgets":false,"_genesis_custom_body_class":"","_genesis_custom_post_class":"","_genesis_layout":"","_wp_convertkit_post_meta":{"form":"-1","landing_page":"","tag":"","restrict_content":""},"footnotes":""},"categories":[2301],"tags":[],"class_list":{"0":"post-636","1":"post","2":"type-post","3":"status-publish","4":"format-standard","5":"has-post-thumbnail","7":"category-personal","8":"entry"},"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO Premium plugin v27.5 (Yoast SEO v27.5) -
