Today is our last day here at Horton Haven, as we pull out tomorrow morning headed for Rose of Sharon in Burlison, TN. So we took a short walk, and I thought I'd share some of the sights along the way with you!

There are several different types of thistle growing on the property...this seems to be the most prevalent.....they are really pretty when they are in full bloom, but this one hadn't gotten enough sun yet today (now THAT is a commodity that has been scarce around "these parts").
Something else that we have seen an abundance of are moths like this one! Earlier this morning there were 7 of them (yes, all at one time) on the door of the motorhome....right now, I think there are four....no, make that five!These beauties are blooming profusely, but I guess that's what "floribunda" do. At any rate, I sure do enjoy seeing them....bring a smile to my face every time!
And then there were these thistles. I THINK they are thistles....stalks complete with sticky thorns....but the flowers look more like orchids and have the same waxy texture! And THEN.....just as we were heading back, I saw this "thing" starting to cross the path....and it was watching us intently! I was watching it intently, too, and started backing up immediately, only stopping long enough to take a picture of it with the telephoto lens extended all the way! As it slid on across the road and into the woods, we heard this "rattle"....YIKES! We quickly retraced our steps and found another way back to the motorhome!

Tomorrow brings a new day and a new project.....so check back with us later this weekend to see where we'll be parked!
