Travels With Stacey

Being in the presence of greenery, especially flowers has a measurable effect on people. I, for one, enjoy looking for and looking at flowers of all kinds. When I was a kid, there was only one type of daffodil. Slowly, a new variety arrived. Then…

Stepping Stones Falls is an excellent “Mini-Stop.”  I like these mini-stops because they are a great way to stretch out, see something new, and break up a long drive.  At this mini-stop, there is a dam with artistic and architectural value.  Unlike most dames, this…
