country peaches

i was driving through the country the other day and stopped to admire the peach blossoms at a local orchard.  they were so big and bright this year, it looks like we are going to have a good peach crop this year. 

country shack

i passed this country shack while driving through the mountains.  i love the daffodils and the dark wood of the  vine covered shack.

doo-nanny's community kitchen

we just returned from a fun-filled weekend in seale, alabama.  we have been trying to make it to the doo-nanny festival for years and this year we made it happen.

i wanted to share the sweet community kitchen that they built for the festival.  it was rustic, colorful, and put together like a puzzle.  i loved it!

enjoy!

fun with mini's

kristen found the cutest little carved wooden chair.  i had a fun time playing outside and practicing taking pictures of little things.  more tomorrow....

the sweetest homestead

we just spent the weekend in the mountains around blue ridge, georgia.  i took some time to explore the winding back roads and enjoying every minute of the gorgeous days that we have been having.  while i was exploring, i found this homestead that was one of the cutest things ever.  there were a couple of signs that lead me to believe that it was a goat farm.  but, the goats were nowhere to be seen.  the buildings were lined up closely alongside a little country road that was paralleled by a river.  it was pretty picturesque, if you ask me.

a blast of forsythia

rib sandwich

people have different theories of how to tell who has the best bar-b-q.  some people say the more calendars on the wall, the better the bar-b-q.  i say, the more low key the place is, the better.  this place doesn’t even have a name.  it’s attached on the side of an old gas station at a lonely exit off 1-20 near madison.  there’s hardly a sign of commerce there.  there’s not even a picnic table to sit at, but they have the best ribs i ever ate.  the meat just falls off the bone, and the sauce is not spicy, but savory.  just step up to the window to order.  i got a ‘rib sandwich’, which means some ribs with a couple pieces of white bread.  good eatin’!

reflections

at shaking rock park there’s a swamp at the bottom of the hill.  i was mesmerized by the late winter reflections on the water’s surface.  i love the interplay between earth and sky.  it gets totally abstract the more you look at it…
