Off We Go

 Between Steve's work schedule,

rainy weather,

and me getting up too late,

we haven't been heading out too far and wide lately.

Yesterday, I set my alarm and demanded I get myself out of bed and GO SOMEWHERE!

Steve had found a new restaurant that looked interesting.

This was the view from our table.

It wasn't scorching hot and there was a nice breeze coming through.

Sadly, the food did not live up to the view.

We will go back and try different food choices,

because can you imagine THAT view in the fall.

I'd eat liver and onions just to get that view.

Then it was off for our afternoon coffee at New Holland Coffee.

First up:  Cross Stitch

I finished this white tile while drinking 3/4 of a cherry mocha cold brew.

Yes, that was as good as it sounds.

In the evening (at home) I finished one more tile.

Only 11 more tiles to go and it will be finished.

With a little more cold brew to finish I worked on my sock.

This photo was taken later,
since I was so over-the-moon with my drink
that I forgot to take one while I was there.

We made a quick stop to drop off a book at the Little Free Library.

I think this is one of the most creative ones I go to.

I found the Marley book to take home.

I've read it before, but it was a long time ago. I'm sure I'll enjoy it again.

We made one more stop before heading back to Chalfont.

This is Poole Forge in Narvon, PA. The covered bridge goes over the Conestoga River. For most times the river is barely more than a creek. Last week you wouldn't have been able to get to the bridge. There was so much rain in Lancaster County that you could have SURFED on the river and it went way over its banks. Thankfully, no damage done and the park is as beautiful as always. There is a Little Free Library there too (up by the house), but it isn't much to look at. Just a green box that if you didn't know what it was, you'd probably pass right by it. 

We know it is there and Steve was able to find 

two paperbacks that he thought he might like.

While I saw several buggies while we were driving,

I was never quick enough with the camera to get a photo.

This was the only one that made it onto film, uh pixels?

It was good to get out on a day when it was summer warm,

but not sweltering.

We have today too.

But, after that, it is back to too stinkin' hot.
