A patched together lifestyle of thrift and charm...

100 Miles of Rural America, Wildlife and Yard Sales...

What a delightful weekend... the perfect mix for My Love and I. 
  Pennsylvania hosted their annual 100 mile yard sale over 2 days -
 traversing remote roads and villages with lots of wildlife sightings in between.   
This picture says it all - see those mountains?  They were a constant!  
See that yard sale - also a constant!   
(And this house has plans to be turned into a bed & breakfast
 within the next 6 months - yippee!) 

We were adventurous and took 'big bad black dog' along. 
She did great while we were 'on the road'... not so great at the campsite.  
(She doesn't 'play well with others' - just not a nice 'people' dog.)
  But we survived as campsite time was minimal this go-round.

The mountain regions in PA are just beautiful...




...with lots and lots of cabins and camps...

We supported the local firehouses along the way for lunch and snacks...

And were honored to get to some great properties...


 My love had the time of his life shooting wildlife.  
Can't wait to see his pics!  Can you tell what he's shooting here?


Did I mention the small, small villages?

And sweet mountain churches?

This is some of the goods - mostly smalls - that came home with us. 
That flower (dianthus) is real and I had been wanting one- so happy!

So was it worth the trip?  A thousand times yes!  Perhaps not in
 miles vs. goods.  But in sightings and experiences - many times over!

It looks as though you had a wonderful weekend. I love the photos. The buildings, the mountains, the train. The snake!! Eeek! I'm glad you had such a wonderful time and found some bargains too.
Blessings, Betsy

Looks like the rain held off! Great pics! Really like the train one. Not the snake!
