On Thanksgiving Day, we went to my husband's family home. It is located in the Big Moccasin Valley in Scott County, Virginia. I want to share some of the photos that I took of that gorgeous area. The quality of some of the photos is not wonderful because I was taking some of the photos as we were going down the road!

ReplyDeleteReminds me of being in the bowl of Burke's Garden down in Tazewell county!! (Love that first pic of the banty roosters!) Sycamore is a beauty, too.(I am not really anonymous ... you know who I am, don't you?)
ReplyDeleteAnonymous....I DO know who you are because I remember you mentioning visiting Burke's Garden this past summer! :)
ReplyDeleteMy husband's mother's family was from Burke's Garden.
ReplyDeleteI have always wanted to go to Burke's Garden. It looks so beautiful and unique in photos.
ReplyDeleteLoved this post! Funny how the 'place' names are common here too : )
ReplyDeleteI am trying to locate the grave site of Polly Phipps Francisco who was buried in an open field on property owned by her husband, Lewis Milton Francisco. Polly was buried in 1878. Thanks
ReplyDeleteI too have a burning desire to located the grave of my great great grandmother..........Polly Phipps Fancisco. I know she was buried on the homplace and her grave is marked. The gravesite was last located in 1985 and can be located again. The homeplace was located near the old El Bethel Church on North Fork Holston River. I will be in the area in July, 2018.
