Interesting Sunday

Very quickly, our lives have all changed with the coronavirus causing the government to pretty much shut down all large gatherings.

So, we took part in church online Sunday morning, in our jammies.

 Later Sunday, Vi and I took a little walk up the hill, where my lovely girl picked me a little bouquet.

Later, we took a longer walk in Mentryville, which we hadn't visited in several years.

 Mentryville was an oil town on the west side of the Santa Clarita Valley. A few buildings remain, including a schoolhouse, and this outhouse.

We hiked back to the oil apparatus, which was next to an old picnic area for the workers.

 Our budding archaeologist was excited to find this bit of pottery in the mud.

 Both girls were happy to play in the creek. Our recent rains have been good for something!

We checked out Charles Mentry's big house, but despite Cora's attempts, it was locked tight.

She was able to walk right into the chicken coop, however.
