Beth Ann Chiles/ Animals, North Carolina/ 32 Comments/ 472

One of my obsessions (along with tea, teapots, books and cats) has to be my love of all things alpaca and llama.  A month or so ago I saw an event shared on Facebook and I told Chris that we had to go.  Fortunately my Continue reading →

It’s Very Pretty But….

Beth Ann Chiles/ North Carolina, Photography/ 48 Comments/ 365

It’s very pretty outside. But it is also very dangerous. I walked outside and it was eery. Branches cracking off.  Falling from high in the trees and then being stopped by other branches. Slippery pavement. Iced over bird feeders. Ice pellets collecting in clumps on Continue reading →

Old Girls in Low Cotton

This is quite a book! I had it recommended to me by several people and while I thought it might be a little dark and depressing it made me have a better understanding of what life in this time period was like. The strength of the huma...
