"Wherever you go, go with all your heart." - Confucius

And that's a wrap; with company on their way to visit for the next couple days, I am done the work week early and am excited to have the next five days off for an impromptu mini-vacation.
Put in for the days off this morning, and left at noon for an appointment. I must confess that there's something quite liberating about deciding at the last minute to be done with work for the next five days.
Now if only it was nice, warm and sunny, but I'm sure that's asking for too much. So bring on the cold, at least I won't be at work to complain about it!
Anyway, hope everyone has had a good day.

All Saints' Church is in the Wiltshire village of West Lavington (population 1,500; 5 miles/8 km south of Devizes). The earliest parts of the building date to the 12th Century, with the nave likely forming the original structure. Evidence suggests a Saxon church may have existed on the site earlier, though little remains to confirm this beyond reused stones in the south porch doorway. In the late 13th and early 14th Centuries, the church was expanded with the addition of a north aisle, south aisle, and north transept. The chancel also dates to this period, built in greensand rubble and squared stone, with limestone ashlar added later.
The west tower was constructed in the 13th Century and raised to its current height in the 14th Century.
In 1847, the famous diocesan architect for the Diocese of Salisbury, TH Wyatt, reworked the church, updating elements like the east end’s triple lancets while preserving its medieval core.
The materials used in construction—greensand, limestone, and slate roofing—reflect local resources and practical construction choices. All Saints is a Grade I listed building.
Well, I had to enlarge the photo! Thought for sure I saw a witch sweep across this night sky...maybe two!

Over 100 years have passed by this barn, one of the abandoned buildings on the historic and once very prosperous Nyce - Eshback Dairy Farm in Pennsylvania. This is a garage built in 1910 on two levels into the side of the hill in the style of a Pennsylvania Dutch Bank Barn. Though I love to explore the farm complex, a person can get a bit spooked walking around these vine covered buildings with their empty black windows and doors. I'm waiting and hoping to see it again once it snows.
Blue Monday how I hate blue Monday!
Gotta work like a slave all day.
Here comes Tuesday
oh Tuesday
I'm so tired I'm tryin' to play.
Here comes Wendesday
I'll be to myself
my world's poor by the time that I'm up.
But then it's a hard workin' day
but I gotta get my pay.
Saturday morning
oh Saturday morning
all my time has kept going away.
I got my money and my honey
and I'm gonna stay to play.
Sunday morning my head is bad.
Was it worth it for the time that I had?
But I got to get my rest
because Monday is a mess.
Saturday morning...

This image, generated with AI and using one of my own background images can be taken in two ways. A bleak view of the mad scientist wreaking destruction ( note: 50 years on since J RR Tolkien died) or the power of science to make a bleak life better, through medicine and knowledge. Take your pick on this Father's Day in Victoria where the Mad Scientist of the household is flying to the other side of the country!
Bare trees and fog this morning and a temperature of 57F made December 1st feel like a warm spring day.

I was born on the day Spring begins, we also got married on that day (just making sure he didn't forget, lol).
I love Spring and especially those first 'awakening' signs, the nests are getting bigger now.
Enjoy it and thanks for your time, visit and comments, M, (*_*)
