These are pictures taken during August 2008. It was hot - in the high 80's and dry. While we were there, Tropical Storm Fay was taking aim (and succeeding) at Florida. It was hard for us because we don't have phone service yet - we felt very isolated - but luckily Dennis bought a satellite radio. At least we were able to hear some news. It was so very dry in Virginia. They were hoping Fay would travel up there and leave some rain.

I was standing on our property - way up high at the top of the mountain looking south at our neighbor's (Ruth and Winford) property.

This is our barn.
