Garrett County, 150 years old this year

Now that the sun is rising earlier I no longer start walking in the dark.

Sunrise this morning was 6:28.

A mix of sun and clouds,

and the temperature a nice 48 degrees.

Walked 6 miles

Started my walk around the lower cemetery.

Here's what's left of the tree that blew down.

Continued walking straight through town and down the main road

to the curve in the road where I turned around and walked back.

Next walked around the industrial park

and then back through town again.

One of the businesses in town has started putting an addition on the side.

The Firefly moved the store down the road across from the gas station

and has kept the cheese making and the offices at this location.

Kermit was out in front of his house putting a sign on a snow plow 

is he trying to sell.

We got to talking and he said the latest he has seen it snow here

is June 3!!!  Glad that doesn't happen very often.

Saw a few deer and a couple of rabbits.

No other people out walking.

School bus number 46 now has a new driver and he has started waving to me.

Guess the last driver retired.  

I've been waving to him since we moved here and miss seeing him.

It's was a good morning for walking.

Pancake breakfast morning today.

Hadn't done much housework this past week so got that

done this morning.

Nice sunny day but not quite warm enough to sit on the front porch.

It was warmer out back on the deck in the sun out of the breeze

so we sat out there for a while this afternoon and read.

Last week when I stopped in at the library they were handing out

little goodie bags to celebrate Garrett County's 150th birthday.

I colored some pages in the coloring book.

Tried to make a collage out of them but couldn't fit the picture and

the writing in the picture.

Some other facts about Garrett County

The Wild Columbine is the official flower.

Oakland's B&O Railroad Station was built in 1884.

It is a Queen Anne style building designed by E Francis Baldwin 

and built with the help of John Work Garrett,

President of the B&O Railroad, for whom the county was named.

There are 2 state forests, 8 state parks, and more than 120 miles of trails.

Deep Creek Lake is Maryland's largest freshwater lake.

It is 13 miles long, covers 3,900 acres,

and has 65 miles of shoreline.

Hope you enjoyed learning a bit more about the county I live in.

Have a Wonderful Day and be Thankful for it.
