A barn across from where the fox hunt was this Saturday. and the trailers of all those who attended the hunt.

Let's see.........I have a moose that is a statue! This is from a trip with friends. We were in Coeur d'Alene, Idaho and this statue was in the library.

On Sunday the Hunt Club held a "Hunter Pace" which is a timed trail ride on a marked course in small groups. The weather and the views were absolutely beautiful. After that they hosted the Virginia Field Hunter Championship, a judged mock hunt (no huntsman, no hounds and no foxes) going out over much of the same land, in a big group, with judges riding along determining which rider and horse have the best form.

Trees bordering a cemetery are nice but there is a downside. In my town, there is a historic cemetery that has maple trees along its front border. Many of the town founders are buried there. I suspect those trees may have contributed to the street name; It is Maple avenue. Those trees are over 100 years old and some have died. Storms occasionally topples one of these trees with monster trunks, and when that happens, tombstones are damaged or wrecked. Old cemeteries I have visited that have endured the best are devoid of deciduous trees. A few shrubs and certain evergreens seem to endure without causing a lot of damage.
