Although the house was built in an open field, we do have a wooded area with a very steep slope which drops down to the cool water of the stream which borders our property, Cold Run Creek. Unfortunately the woodlands aren't easily accessible but we do try to venture out in the spring when the Trilliums and Hepaticas are in bloom. The struggle to view them at their peak is worthwhile, but we do have to watch out for the poison ivy!



A friend from PA who was visiting a few years ago took this picture when we had an opportunity to relax by the stream one afternoon.
