Christmas Celebrated On U.S. Hwy 80

 Grand old Southern mansions decorated for Christmas.

 

 

This is the Paige House in Dublin, Georgia. 

It is a Bed and Breakfast that we have not stayed at but always enjoy driving by at Christmas.

This is the business next door to the Paige House.

These houses are located on U.S. highway 80 in the center of Dublin.

I have been making Christmas cards from some of the close up shots of the porch rockers on these two houses. It has been a fun learning experience for me.

This charming house is an eye doctor's office and is across the street from the other two.

The gingerbread trim is beautiful.

This large house is next to the doctor's office and has understated Christmas lights.

I love those porches.

 I will share my Christmas cards later.

B&B

Sometimes I long for the mountains. 

Joe and I were in the north Georgia mountains last fall and we stayed in an old farmhouse B&B. 

 

 The porch.

The mantlepiece.

A quilt hanging in the dining room.

Fall leaves, the colors of the leaves make me want to pack an overnight bag.

Could I talk Joe into a little trip?

The Barn

A reader asked if my header photo was taken by me.

Yes it was.

We were staying at a Bed & Breakfast in October and I was meandering down a gravel road behind the Inn at sunrise and much to my delight I found this barn.

The sun was hitting the field grasses just right.

I am ready to photograph barns, churches, and old buildings again.

Spring please get here.

grace surrounds us

Misty Mountain

We stayed at the Misty Mountain Bed and Breakfast in Blairsville, Georgia last weekend.
It was originally an old farmhouse. While there we visited with my cousin Kadie, her husband,
and my uncle who were all sweeties.

The entire weekend was terribly cloudy so drats for the photos.

I enjoyed the owners, Peg's, use of navy blue on the porch.

The inside was like a typical home, cosy and warm. The fire was lite and a yummy breakfast waiting. That may not be typical!

The stained glass window was in our spacious room as was this large piece.

The porch was a happening place with wild birds feeding and the Basset Hound, Morgan patrolling. My cousin Kadie and I have many shared memories of childhood summers spent together in the North Carolina mountains. It was such a blessing to see her and my uncle again. Kadie gave me many wonderful family treasures I will be sharing here eventually.

Thanks Bunches Kadie! I Love You!
