Harrisburg Covered Bridge #WW

Welcome Kittens & Dawgs! This is my first time in months to pull together a not-so-Wordless Wednesday post.  I really wasn’t sure if I wanted to do it.  Part of me continues to debate to keep going the way I’ve done all summer with only Monday posts.  Perhaps I need to step away from blogging for short period.  I think I’m feeling a bit burned out and that’s never a good thing but here I am making the effort to share with you through pictures.

I think it was last year I told you how we finally found the covered bridge in Pigeon Forge but was unable to photograph the bridge because of fall foliage terrorists…I mean tourists.  That’s one of the beauties with living in the area, I know I will eventually find a better time to snap my camera and I did over the summer while we were out exploring the countryside.  I used my iPhone 8 to get a few quick shots.

Built 143 years ago in 1875; restored 1972
This fancy plaque basically says the same stuff as the first but I didn’t realize that the work wasn’t completed until 2005.  Also, on second read it occurred to me that the bridge location was moved from its original span across the Little Pigeon River.
It’s a quaint one, isn’t it?

 

There for a while, I rolled Wednesday Hodgepodge in with my mid-week post but I think I’ll continue to sit that one out until I get some of the cobwebs swept away in my brain.  Blogging is a fun outlet but when I get to too weighted down with it then the joy is lost and I don’t want to be another blogger to drop out altogether.

 



Can you do me a favor? Please let others know that I’m back hosting the mid-week photo fun by sending out this tweet! Thanks. 😘

  1. Beautiful pictures, and I am going to chuckle over “fall terrorists” all afternoon. One nice thing about the relative unpopularity of my part of upstate New York is that we don’t get too many of those “terrorists”. Now, one thing we don’t have is covered bridges and I enjoyed seeing those pictures – so, so green! I hope you don’t drop out of the blogosphere all together but yes, please cut back if that is what it takes to enjoy the blogging once again. I would hate to lose you all together!

  2. Love the terrorists..um, tourists:) Beautiful pics of this bridge. There is something so pretty about these bridges and a time from yesteryear

  3. There’s something cool about covered bridges. I love your pics! Hey, don’t go MIA in blog land. Take it easy and have a great rest of the week!

  4. I love covered bridges. I love stopping and reading about them. I love exploring all aspects of covered bridges. We have a few here, but not many.

    Have a fabulous Wordless Wednesday, Cathy. ♥

  5. Lovely photos looks nice quaint and peaceful, I love that song I haven’t heard it for ages 🙂

    Have a brilliant week Cathy hope all is doing well over there 🙂

  6. Hi, Cathy!

    I admire these excellent pictures of the Harrisburg Covered Bridge. The area looks pristine and there isn’t a tourist in sight. 🙂 Ever since childhood I have loved covered bridges. Central PA had a lot of them and my dad and I routinely crossed them on our weekend hikes in various parts of rural Susquehanna Valley.

    I enjoyed listening to The Judds. To me it is the kind of song that can heal a divided America and a troubled, war torn world with its message: “Love Can Build A Bridge” (“Don’t you think it’s time? Don’t you think it’s time?”) It reminds me of “Bridge Over Troubled Water.”

    It would be a terrible loss to the blog community if you dropped out, Cathy. Perhaps your idea to scale back to preserve your sanity, avoid burn out, and free up more of your time for other pursuits is a good one. Whatever you decide I will be here to support you because I value our friendship and you always reciprocate by visiting my blog, something I greatly appreciate.

    Have a wonderful day, dear friend Cathy!

    1. Tom,

      I’ve always liked covered bridges, too. I really didn’t come to appreciate them until early adulthood when we began looking at New England as a vacation destination. I’d love to check out some of those in found in that community.

      It is time for a divided America to come together but as long as people are too easily offended then it’s going to be hard to build that bridge. What many don’t realize is we don’t have to see eye-to-eye on every score but we should respect each other, never infringing or forcing one’s beliefs on the other. I think high profile figures like athletes or actors/actresses need to do what they’re paid to do. We don’t pay them to boost their political beliefs, social injustices, religious views, … We just want to forget about the cares of everyday life while watching our favorite football team or watching a good movie or listening to mewsic or what have you. But Nuff said on that because I reckon this will always be a heated discussion. Those of us who can see past it all, work through the differences will build a better tomorrow.

      I scaled back all summer so I’m partly ready to pick back up. You don’t have to worry about me disappearing altogether from Blogosphere even if I take a complete hiatus because it’ll be a short one no doubt. However, I don’t see that happening anytime soon. I enjoy visiting good friends such as you and that’s what keeps me going! 🙂 Have a good day!
