PINK SATURDAY from Eufaula, AL

Welcome to Pink Saturday!

I found this wonderful pink chair on a tour of the Shorter Mansion
in Eufaula, AL on our trip last week.

We also took a walking tour and saw these beautiful climbing
roses which were pale yellow with touches of pink on the petals.
Does anyone know the name of these?  I'll look it up when I am
home and put it on my gardening buy list.

I snapped this picture of a bowl and pitcher on a tour in Eufaula
at Kendall Hall.  I've posted pictures from that tour at an earlier post.

Images of Eufaula, AL (Lots of Old Houses) Part 3 of 4

We saw some beautiful homes and gardens on our trip to Eufaula, AL.
Some are just so beautiful, and so elegant, and so unforgettable that I
can't not put them on my blog.  If you like old homes, sit back, sip a
glass of ice tea, and enjoy.

Yes, those are  marble steps.

Those flat roofs are so expensive to repair.  Here they put a roof on
top of the flat roof.  Good solution.

The top of this house was called the Belvedere, or "beautiful view."
The belvedere was also an air conditioning system for the house.

And along this fence to the house above, I saw the yellow and pink
rose!  I have to find one to plant at my home.  I'm also putting the
picture on Pink Saturday.

As we walked along, we met other walkers and runners.  But it is
getting a little "hot."  Time to stop and get a glass of cold ice tea!
Hope you enjoyed the pictures.  I will blog one more time about

Eufaula, AL, when I share pictures of the Shorter Mansion.
Until then, have a great week!
Love,
Lottie

Union Springs, Al (Lots of old houses) Part 2 of 4

This is summer and we are working on the homeplace.  Sometimes
you have to get away and renew.  That is what DH and I did.  We
visited a small town, Union Springs, about halfway between
Montgomery and Eufaula.  Here are some pictures.

     

        

This house is getting some repair work done. 

This is the side view of the above house.  A truck was parked in front.

I think this is the courthouse (above) in town.  And right in the middle

of the street is this.......

I think it is a bird dog.  Anyway, you have to drive around it.

I have a dear friend and colleague, Susan, who is from Union Springs.

I think of her every time I drive through.  After all, it is the people,

not the houses, that make the town.

Remember to love the house you're in.  Have a great week!

Love,

Lottie
