This beautiful scene is across the street from where I work. This bridge connects to an island where people live (only a few people, maybe 9 families). Back in my "fitness nut" days (when I walked 4 miles every day) I walked by this bridge almost daily. About a year ago, I stopped walking and stopped going to the gym to use the weight machines (just got burned out, I guess). Now I miss seeing this beautiful sight.
Is the bridge a covered one like in 'Bridges of Madison County'? (Loved the book but have never seen the movie.) It looks like a lovely area for a daily walk. Do you think you will take it up again?
Here we are, sitting at our computers again on opposite sides of the world. It's 1.30am (Thursday) and I can't sleep - actually slept too long in the armchair before going to bed! So I got up to make a hot drink, but in reality it was to surf the blogs. But now the house is starting to make noises as the night gets colder so I might have to sneak back to bed.
I loved that book and movie. My husband hated it. He thought she was terrible for fooling around with Clint.(That is putting it mildly).He just didn't get it.
I appreciate you taking the time and effort to leave a comment. I will try to answer any questions you have. Please note due to Blogger changing word verification so almost nobody can read it, I have had to change to no word verification and only allow registered users to comment.
I am so glad you stopped by to visit my garden. I garden in lower northern Michigan (zone 5) in far less than ideal conditions. I have too many pine trees, too much shade, too many rocks, herds of hosta-munching deer and rabbits who think my lilly buds are gourmet appetizers. I am by no means an expert in horticulture or garden design--just an amateur with a shovel and a passion. My garden changes daily during the summer and I will be updating frequently.
During the winter months, I blog about my favorite cold-weather hobby--quilting and just my everyday musings.
I hope you enjoy your visit, and that you will come back soon.

I am using my dining room table to baste this big one -- it's about 105 x

ReplyDeleteYes, it is a covered bridge. I always think of 'Bridges of Madison' when I walk near it! I loved that book and the movie.
ReplyDeleteHere we are, sitting at our computers again on opposite sides of the world. It's 1.30am (Thursday) and I can't sleep - actually slept too long in the armchair before going to bed!

ReplyDeleteZoey, that is gorgeous. I have a pattern that I can paint someday with a covered bridge in it....So neat.

ReplyDeleteOhmigod, you're lucky. Just looking at hte photo I thikn my blood pressure dropped a bit.
ReplyDeleteHow scenic! And what a nice place to paint or sketch.
ReplyDeleteWe have a few covered bridges in Lancaster County too. Very neat.
