Crepe Myrtle Romance

End of summer bed and breakfast

Travelling the back roads of memories 

in the Shenandoah Valley of Virginia... 

our horse and buggy lingers by 

Belle Hearth Bed and Breakfast... 

With its gabled roof, wrap-around 

porch with swing, the music of Chopin 

fills our soul with romantic notions and 

emotions of Victorian pleasure... 

The aroma of Lemon Raspberry Muffins 

invite us to spend the night under 

moonlit stars and crickets lullaby 

with a fire to burn throughout the night... 

Autumn kisses wake us at first light 

as embers of eternal love remain 

within our heart entwined with 

whispers of forever love...

live long in ones memory. May your days be

What an absolutely beautiful and colourful quartet of scenes you've created.. oh my! For obvious reasons, i feel relaxed and smiling and fed and ... and.. sighing, complete.

Thank you so much for sharing Belle Hearth Bed and Breakfast. Will book in next year and maybe stay for a year!

Wishing you a a wonderful Sunday.

dear Emma... End of summer romance seems to
excite the senses when we travel the country roads
and discover a vintage spot with flowers and music
with rooms cozy and warm with a fire to entice
a lover's whims. Love your review and wishing you
Crisp autumn days and adventures that last through
winter sleigh bells. truly, Pat

passion and love... truly, Pat
