Fishing and camping at the beautiful Lake Charles on highway 25 in Arkansas. My great grandfather was the mail man from Strawberry to Black Rock in the late 1800's.

We did a side trip to the Powhatan History State Park. This was setting right on the Black River in Lawrence County Arkansas and had flooded these building many times over the years. There is also a new building of Northeast Arkansas Archives which had lots of info on my Great great grandfather and his two brothers that came here in 1800's from North Carolina, some had what they called improvment of government land for possession.

Trivia Saturday

How did Daisies get their name?The daisy flower opens its petals during the day and at night the petals shut.

When you look at the petals they resemble an eye's lashes.

So they were called day's eyes which over time was corrupted to daisy.

The daisy is one of the most common weeds found in an English lawn.
