They are running a special on Scarecrows for Halloween at Walmart

Or if you prefer, you can get the non-scary one

Rexall is alive and well in Burr-a-ville

Sherm is trying to make points with Pat by buying a mug from this humane thrift store.

We visited the Quigley Castle today

Mrs Quigley loved rocks and started collecting them in earnest when she was nine years old.

Her husband was a bottle collector and she made several bottle trees from his collection.

Built in 1943 it went the first three years without any glass in the windows because of the shortage during the war.

The Arkansas rocks don't have any color to them. They are most quartz, crystal, and diamonds. She had to go out of state to find the colored ones.

She spent three years covering the outside of the house all from her collection. Then she built all of the other little rock sculptures.

Inside were these old hornet nest.

The kitchen

Living and dining area

Upstairs bedrooms, nice quilt

The house is built with two separate foundations separated by four feet. There are many tropical plants growing in that 4' gap that grow from the ground to the top of the second floor.

Another of the three upstairs bedrooms

Called the butterfly wall

Some of them are moths

They were all pretty


Old double barrel shotgun

Some kind of Black powder rifle

Another smaller one

Some kind of grinder

Cactus in Arkansas

More bottle trees and rock sculptures

They milled the lumber for the house with this saw.

Like Eve, Sherm told me to partake of this fruit

I did............and it was 

.........very good!

They had an Eleanor here too




Not sure why all of this was connected to the outhouse

We got away


read the sign to learn more

Nice greenhouse

We then rode down to the War Eagle Mill

An old but still in operation grist mill






This old bridge had a wooden deck. I had to ride over it just for fun.


So many beautiful Victorian homes in Eureka Springs.


Eureka Springs is famous for the healing waters from the springs.

These bath houses sprung up all around the springs.

This one must have been really good.

The spring is here

so is a group entertaining the public

View of downtown Historic ES




Most of these beautiful homes have become B&B's

These guest are enjoying the group entertaining on the Basin Spring stage. They have drug out the priceless quilts to the balcony to keep themselves warm on this chilly evening.

If you want to go downtown to the Historic section, turn when you see this place.

When in Rome, you should do as the Romans, so I had catfish for dinner tonight.

It was pretty good.

pretty   healthy too

Well, it was

Yum Yum
