She did not get too scared and we were looking forward to the second one tonight. Saturday night we had introduced Vivian to the first Harry Potter Movie, which went over pretty well. We checked out lots of cool fossil rocks on the way as we followed the zig-zagging log trails back down the steep hillside to home. This scenic route is much longer, but not near as steep a climb, as our driveway. We branched off at a 4 wheel drive track, back towards our hill, and then again onto the old logging road. 4 Wheel Drive TrackĬontinuing on our walk, we turned onto the hardly ever used, dirt lane that leads to an old hilltop meadow. So close, yet so far away… No complaints, it works fine for our needs. Our place is located uphill from this spring so we collect rain from our roof into an underground cistern for our water at the cabin. The county ran 5 miles of pipe to carry this spring water into Franklin back in the 1960’s when the Hanover Shoe Factory was built out on Thorn Spring Road, and in the flood of 1985, they had to replace 5000 feet of it, as well as dig all the rock debris out of the spring. This spring never dries up and there is a cement holding pond for them to draw from. We kept walking down the paved road, past the big spring where the town of Franklin gets their water. I wish the creek ran all the time but with all the limestone around here, it sinks into cave-y places pretty quick. We can look forward to rebuilding the small breach when the weather turns nice in the spring. We had spent hours playing in the creek together, and our thrown up berm of rocks was still mostly intact. Wet Dry Run and a Movieĭry Run was full of water for a change, so Vivian and I headed down the hill to check out the dam we had built last year. I stoked the fire, tore out and rewound my old knitting, cooked and read a book but eventually the fog lifted, it stopped raining, and I had to get outside. In between we all read or listened on our Kindles. I usually prefer relaxing with a good book to board games but games geared to a six year old are easy enough to handle, in between chapters.Īll day Saturday and then again on Sunday, we played board games Community, Gathering the Garden, Snakes and Ladders, Quirkle, and Trouble. We had been hoping for some snow to play in. The weather has been so dreary for the past week, with grey, drizzly skies and temperatures stuck in the 40’s that we figured we’d mostly stay inside and play games.
