TRAVELING

I took a road trip yesterday to visit a friend in the Delta. These are a few photos I took on the way.

These are in Canton, they have some beautiful old homes. John Grisham's A Time To Kill was filmed here, as well as My Dog Skip based on the Willie Morris book.

I hope you enjoyed going on this road trip. I will share more later.

GOVERNOR'S MANSION TOUR

I toured our Governor's mansion last week, the  decorations were all natural evergreens, magnolia leaves ,and cotton. The main foyer had a huge vase of cotton stalks and magnolia leaves, very different and really striking. The huge Christmas tree was stuffed with magnolia branches and cotton stalks as well.Sorry no picture taking allowed inside. This is the outside .

This horse stands on the grounds out front. It is named Delta Glory and was painted by a group of sixth graders in Merigold,Ms. It contains scenes of crops in Mississippi ,native wildlife a Delta juke joint and of course the famous highway 61 blues trail. This  horse is normally at the Delta Arts Alliance in Cleveland,Ms. Very talented sixth graders!

OUT AND ABOUT

I am sharing photos from a recent trip to an antigue store in  a little town about 40 minutes away. Sorry dont remember the name, but there was some interesting things there.Love this quilt.Very unusual dishes,don't  know the name of the pattern .

Cute idea to fill this old wagon with the bounty of the season.

ROADTRIP-OXFORD

Let's hit the road again, how's about heading north to Oxford. Now these photos by no means do Oxford justice, they were taken on the run during a quick day trip. This is a beautiful city with many attractions and great restaurants-google it! Notice the shadows from the fence on the phone booth?.I am joining http://www.heyharriet.blogspot.com
