...Daffodils and Covered Bridges

This afternoon we made a trip over to Gibbs Gardens, as Mom had purchased us a season pass to the place.  The weather was pleasant and Mom was feeling much better today.  We may have missed out on the peak weekend for the flowers, but there were still a good bit of daffodils there, as you can see above.  This location is only about 40 minutes away, so it's not too bad, and the weather was really nice today for a peaceful stroll through the gardens.  We didn't go that far really - just through the daffodil fields and then over to another area where we sat for a spell, just relaxing and enjoying the atmosphere there.  And yeah, I brought the camera along - here's the pictures:

On the way home I made a slight very small detour to a location that I just discovered on the map recently.  All this time, I had no idea there was a covered bridge over there in the area.  That said, we dropped by to see it!

It was actually somewhat of a sad story associated with this, all having to do with the Trail of Tears and a lot of greed and abuse.  The bridge itself was built many years after the events of a mill located here, so it isn't necessarily a symbol of anything.  But reading some of the signs here reminds you of the tragedies of the past here in this area.

I was at work for a the morning, and Maddie was at chapel today too - so it was a busy day.  In fact, when we got home, we had just enough time to get ready for taekwondo tonight.  Maddie was helping as an assistant instructor, and then of course she had her leadership class.  

The day's still going on - updates coming soon!
