Wordless Wednesday Miller Homestead

 Good morning, ya'll . When Mr. Pinker and I visited Roan Mountain State Park ,we visited the Miller Homestead. We were not able to tour the inside of the house but enjoyed strolling around the outside. These are few snapshots for a not so wordless Wednesday post😁🤐. Hope you enjoy. 

        

Have a blessed day and as always...

Happy  Stitching and Quilting, ya'll

Melisa

Going back to a simpler life is not a step backwards 

Hugs and Stitches!!!!🤗🧵❤

Dedicated to my dear sister, Amy. Love and miss you.

    1. It was a very serene little homestead and so lovely, Robin. I just wished we had arrived earlier to be able to tour the inside, but we can return someday. Thank you for the sweet visit.

  3. Beautiful - we often roam like this when visiting state parks and museums. The first picture has what looks like shelving with scrolls inside of it - what is that?

    2. Good evening, Donna. Aren't those little hidden away spots fun to explore. I love it when state parks have museums or older building to explore. Oh yes those are little bee houses. I have been wanting to make some for our garden. They had at least two at this homestead. One seemed to be made of river cane. They were very interesting. Thank you sfor the sweet visit. Hugs.

    1. Lol that is what I thought, Kim. I have read that there is a bedroom wall papered with old newspapers. I can only imagine the history on those walls. Thank you for the sweet visit. Happy quilting.

    1. Oh I did too, Dorothy . Along the side of the steps was a veggie garden. I was trying to get a good photo because I would love to have some steps like that at our home since we live on a hill. Thank you for the sweet midweek visit. Have a blessed week.

    1. Aaah it was very peaceful and a great place to visit. One of my favorites of the vacation. I am so excited that you have stitched the seasonal stamps and lol I had to go back to check about the summer one. I have shared the Watermelon stamp on Aug 16, 2021, but I have not shared the summer one yet. I will certainly get to that. Thank you so much for the reminder. I hope to have it out very soon. Have a wonderful rest of the week, my friend. Happy quilting and stitching.
