Downtown Bikers at Lexington, VA Sidewalk Sale April 30, 2016
This weekend was chock full of fun opportunities in and around little old/ historic Lexington (Virginia that is). It was a great place to escape reality, see, meet and watch people, and participate in exciting adventures.
Three of my pals and I decided to participate in the 83rd Historic Garden Week, a “County Roads and Vines” Lexington House and Garden Tour. Wow! That sounded so interesting because it covered homes from the 1800’s and gardens that would surely inspire us to get busy on our own properties this spring. And finally we would enjoy a fitting ending to the day at the Rockbridge Vineyard for wine tasting!
But, morning brought clouds and drizzle with a 60% chance of heavy rain. Adding Dor’s bad foot to the foreboding weather with the danger of slipping on wet grass in a historic garden’s uneven terrain, we cancelled original plans in favor of lunch. Then maybe we would take a walk around town, weather permitting.
Did I mention that some small towns offer more than the mundane?
There was a sidewalk sale in Lexington! And after a chatty lunch at the Sheridan Livery Inn we four wandered around with umbrellas in tow and began to catch some local excitement. I was trying to ignore my stupid foot (with “plantar fasciitis”) which would not be ignored.
My friends in the lead checking out sidewalk sale.
Finally there was an art show at Hopkins’ Green where two of us sat down and gazed upon artful displays while the other two retrieved the car. My foot was grateful for the respite.
Today was for luxuriating at home, enjoying icing the complaining foot, stretching, and resting.
But yesterday was a grand day with great friends experiencing wonderful events all in one small American town in the Shenandoah Valley of Virginia.
Fuzzy Colors in a Moonscape

I do not have a zoom lens and this was taken with my cell phone camera, but I like it anyway. There are so many colors in those clouds and the whole fuzzy effect is vaguely impressionistic.
Floating Imagination

A pink cloud in an otherwise ordinary sky
escapes the mundane white on blue,
floating, floating aimlessly by
displaying its gossamer baby pink hue.
A feather drifting softly through space,
a lingering apparition,
floating away to dissipate
and return to imagination.
Color Me Pink

I am lately obsessed with color – bright brilliant color.
Shopping for something new this afternoon, I bypassed shades of gray, maroon, brown,
and leaned to yellows, oranges and pinks.
I linger over technicolor versions of life in magazines brashly, brazenly heralding Spring.
The marketeers know we are mostly fed up in this part of the world with winter blahs,
and they plot to capitalize on our yearnings for color like the color of the sky at dusk.
The Virginia sky at dusk is sometimes the color of Spring!
