Different sights this morning

Every  morning I walk our dog. Jackie, who is named after Jackie Robinson, because Annie my fiance's mother grew up in Brooklyn and was a lifelong Brooklyn Dodgers fan. When she got Jackie, she wanted a baseball name and thus Jackie. We have posted lots of photos of Jackie who is very low energy.

Basically I drag Jackie on our walks, she acts like a resistance ball always behind me. That is unless she notices a fox, or you mentionthe word fox and she gets excited and rushes ahead searching for the fox, nose to the ground.

As I have mentioned before we recently moved from West Chester, to West Grove.  In West Chester we lived in a golf course community.

Hershey's Mill Golf Club

Now where we live, in a 55+ community called Big Elk, due to the Elk River nearby is a tad more rural. Hence the photo that leads this post of the silos through the trees. We are in the heart of the mushroom farming community of Chester County. When it rains you do get the smell of manure but it is generally pretty quiet. We live five minutes from a hospital that has just been purchased by ChristianaCare who have announced plans to get it up and running within the year after Tower Health shuttered it along with another hospital they owned as well to save money and help to solve their debt crisis.

We are discovering all sorts of places to walk, and enjoy the nature around us. But every morning we walk around the neighborhood, getting to know the other new owners, it is a new construction development, so everyone is new. And getting used to the different views and sights around us.

Behind our house is a vineyard, it used to be a farm, but was recenlty purchased, and the vines have been planted, we have yet to meet the owners, but are looking forward to being able to walk over and sample some wine or vermouth which they are supposedly also masters of creating.

Hi Nick... part of the fun of moving... discovering new places to walk, to eat, to shop. Jackie is adorable even  if  she's "low energy." Some days I wish my Bingo was less "high energy." When I walk him he's dragging me forward!

There are times when i wish Jackie would drag me forward, but i do appreciate her low energy when we are at home, she is very calm and that is important to me.

Hannah Williams nearly every homeowner has a dog of some sort, so she is settling in and making a few friends and learning who to avoid.

Eric Bouler thanks for stopping by, love the photo.

Ray Henson it is fun discovering something new around every turn. This afternoon we got some pumpkins from a local farm along with some very good looking tomatoes.

Pat Champion she is very lovable, very friendly if slow. I have to go out on my own after walking her to get some real exercise.

Hi Nick- it looks like you and Jackie are having fun exploring your new area!!!   And since it's fairly rural, that should get Jackie up and running after rabbits and such.
