The transformation of this dreaded former prison into an artists colony is a daytrip destination you won't want to miss! Horsing around at Silvershire Farm! Loved our wagonride through the gorgeous countryside! Bill and Bobbie were such good hosts! Come on out to the 3rd annual Alpaca Festival @FourAcresLiving in Frankford DE!! The Wolf Sanctuary of PA is where you, too, can howl with the wolves! Bugs and blooms, even thistle, always motivate me to grab my camera! Enjoy this meditation on natural beauty! Visiting these three lighthouses illuminate Erie PA's rich maritime history! A sobering reminder that folks sacrificed everything for this country -- just ordinary average Americans who didn't know when they woke up that morning that they would die heroes. The Tenement Museum doesn't like to talk about things like ghosts and haunted buildings. But ask the docents and you might hear a few whispered ghost stories... how they might hear whispers when there's no one else in the building, how something unseen might brush by when they're the only one in the apartment. Why I love NYC!
