Urns On Southern Porches





 I took a field trip to Church Street in our county,
 not far from our old house.  General Sherman did not burn Sandersville and Tennille, on his March through Georgia, during the Civil War, so we have beautiful old homes. He did burn the court house and tie up the railroad rails. Because he burned the court house we have no records of our old house.  Now let's look at some urns.


This urn is gorgeous and one of four on this porch.



I love this door above.




This is the house that goes with the above urns.
 I have no idea of it's age. 
All these photos are taken from the sidewalk.


 House number two on our tour.


Boxwood, creeping jenny, and unknown to me.


The ceiling is a darling teal.


There are many more charming houses in our county. 
These two caught my eye as we were driving Shelley around one evening. 
I will be gone all day today (I am auto-posting I hope) because we are 
picking up CC from college and taking the puppy with us. 
It will be a long, long day.

 Wow Us Wednesday's

joy and peace

  7. The plants in house no. 1 are down-right happy! Not that I would wish my life away, but I'd love to live in a house like that. Maybe in Heaven (:

  16. Just today I was thinking of what I want to put by my front doors this year. I had been looking at some big tall ferns at Home Depot and now I see them beside the front doors here. I will take that as a sign that I need to go in that direction. OK, have to go back to filling out form now (I find it impossible to stay off the computer totally).

  19. Don't we just love our beautiful old homes! Somone told me recently that painting the ceiling blue or green would keep the spiders away-thus no spider webs!

  20. Such stately old homes Olive. You are in a great place to get your urn fix! Southern homes and gardens love their urns. I love them too and If I'd know you were urn watching I'd have cleaned mine up for you to visit. I love the first pic with stained door. Great photos Olive.
