Little Beaver State Park, Beaver, West Virginia
Lord, who may dwell in your sanctuary? Who may live on your holy hill? He whose walk is blameless and who does what is righteous, who speaks the truth from his heart and has no slander on his tongue, who does his neighbor no wrong and casts no slur on his fellowman, who despises a vile man but honors those who fear the Lord, who keeps his oath even when it hurts, who lends his money without usury and does not accept a bribe against the innocent. ~ Psalm 15:2-5
Siri knows scripture! She can’t tell you chapter and verse correctly (“Okay! Psalm three-thousand-three-hundred-twelve. Here you go.”. Hahaha!!!) But she knew what the verse said, Blessed is the nation whose God is the Lord. I have to tell you, I was impressed. Now I suppose you want to know why this is in here? Our neighbors pull their fifth-wheel with a semi and it has an American flag and this chapter and verse on it, but we couldn’t remember exactly what it said, so rather than get our Bibles out of the cupboard, I thought I’d ask Siri, just for kicks. 😊
Similar schedule as yesterday, as we went for a hike in the morning (most of the pictures are from that), came home for lunch, changed into warm-weather clothes and headed out again to walk around the lake one last time and back home again.
They were beautiful and the branches low enough I could take pictures. : )
There’s no water, so no one’s skinny-dipping. Whew!
It may have been established in 1882,
but we didn’t see anything older than the early 1900’s.
Don’t know what kind he is though.
He’s got really long legs for a bee . . .
Blaine says it’s a “kit house”.
but we walked all around the perimeter and didn’t find one.
On a hill! Which is why we didn’t realize it until we walked behind home plate. : )
However, it’s on it’s last legs – turning black and attracting lots of bugs.
Pretty cool looking though and something else new!
We saw evidence of both.
Although I have no idea how anyone would ride a bike on most of it.
This fungus reminded me of dripping soap. : )
Reminded us a little of the Sable Palms resurrecting after a prescribed burn,
but that’s not what this is. Hmmm . . . .
We saw deer three times today! Once was so close, they – and we – got spooked as we came around a corner!
Now for the afternoon – –
It’s important to note that the trail down to the lake and back is fairly steep. Why? Because thanks to our two youngest grandchildren, we did it twice today! If that’s not love, I don’t know what is.
The Park’s gift shop was having a great sale on toddler t-shirts, but we weren’t certain on size, so I texted their mom to ask. Since she was at work (I’m sure that’s the reason . . .), she didn’t answer right away while we were there and we knew she might not for a while, so we went home – after we spent a few minutes playing.
But it sure was fun!! hehehehe!
Most of the time, it was spinning much faster. : )
I had too.
I made the mistake of having my eyes open too much.
Bleh . . . at least I’m still smiling. : )
That was uphill number one.
Nine minutes after we arrived, we received size confirmation. “Do you want those shirts enough to walk back up that hill again?” “Yes.” And off we went. Now you tell me – – aren’t they worth braving the hill a second time? 😊
Cute, huh?
Actually, it was the price that got me. I love a good deal!
For those of you wondering what we’re bringing home for the older boys – nothing. They get a weeks’ vacation with Gpa & Gma! What could be better than that? 😊
We’ll be home sometime tomorrow afternoon!
