These were on display at the Rappahannock Art Tour in November. Elementary and Middle School Students made these mosaic-style murals.

Notes from Deer Rapids
Yesterday's post showed a few pictures from a property in Deer Rapids. The story was from Charlie’s point of view so I thought I’d fill in a few details.
The brick house was built in 1792. The central section is the original house and was built of bricks that were handmade on the property. The additions were built in the 20th century. The property is now called Edgewater Farm. It is built on a rise next to the North Fork of the Shenandoah.
We also visited a couple of homes in the town of Strasburg on the other side of the river. I neglected to take pictures of the exteriors, and interior photos of homes are discouraged unless you get specific permission.

Charlie’s Mid-December Day
Hi, it's Charlie! There were some things going on today, so I'll tell you what we did.
Mom took me to Tractor Supply this morning. There was a special set-up, and some people from the Humane Society welcomed us. The ladies were very nice, but I wasn’t too sure about the man because he had strange clothes. One of the ladies took pictures.

Perching for a Drink
The male house finch is a colorful fellow. He's not particularly shy so I see him often in the winter when I put seed out for birds.
