Mount Vernon, Virginia
There was a little mound on what is called the Bowling Green in front of Mount Vernon, it was the perfect place for me to sit and RELAX, taking in everything I had seen and felt!

Mount Vernon, Virginia
Harvest time is close with these Sunflowers full of sunflower seeds. I love the color and look of sunflowers! Did you know that Sunflowers follow the sun? Their petals are designed to absorb as much sun as possible and they swivel to reach the best sunlight. In Italy they are called Girasole which literally means turn the sun, meaning they turn and follow the sun. FUN!!

Home of George & Martha
Mount Vernon, Virginia
Mount Vernon was the home of George & Martha Washington. President Washington lived there until his death in 1799. During his days as General, Martha would spend time with her husband during the winters, the months when there was no fighting because of the harsh winters and then she would return to Mount Vernon. She lived at Mount Vernon until her death in 1802.

George Washington inherited Mount Vernon in 1754 and it became a refuge for him during the wars he battled and throughout his Presidency. I find a beautiful spirit of peace whenever I walk thru the estate so, once again I walked his walk ways, gardens and fields, feeling the past so near yet so far away.
