Carter Valley

Here is a nice sedate scene on Blackwell Road near Marietta. It is only a stone’s throw from Transfiguration Catholic Church, which is on the other side of the creek.

The beautiful property and pond is owned by a fireman who developed it from scratch. I remember when it was in the developing stages it was always interesting to ride by ever so often and see a little change in his house or land… and the little changes are grouped together and became a big change. On a walk once I stopped and talked to him, he was very friendly and told me to drop by and see him anytime. It had been a few years since we talked, but if I remember right, we had a few friends in common who were firemen.
Lets call the nice fireman Mr. We.

Across the street behind a high chain-link fence is German Shepard looking dog who doesn’t like people walking near his turf and runs back and forth barking demands onto them…. Oooh, only if he could leap that high fence, he would show them a thing or two. One of the things he would show them is his urine border line… it will stand up in any nature law court.
