“Now faith is the assurance of things hoped for, the conviction of things not seen…
…For by it the people of old received their commendation…
…By faith we understand that the universe was created by the word of God, so that what is seen was not made out of things that are visible.”
Hebrews 11:1-3
Live music, antique cars, food, and fun are part of our downtown First Friday events held on Broad Street.
Privet can be invasive but puts on a pretty show in May!
Who doesn’t love a candy counter? Look but don’t touch. (Who are we kidding)!
It’s time to plant here in north Alabama. A few dry days apparently has soil conditions just right!
A big field but a big Deere seems to be getting the job done!
We like to feature homes in our Historic District.
The Lady Banks have completed the spring bloom but still offers beauty and interest all summer.

I’m always interested in your area, so thanks for the photos. Ours is surrounded by dairy farms, mostly , and timber. Your first photo of the church with the peeling paint makes me want to volunteer at a working bee to paint it.
It also reminds me of this joke, an oldie and there are variations around:

Cath, what a cute joke! Have a wonderful week!
What does cute mean in Appalachian? Does it mean “don’t you be so cute with me, I’ll whoop your bottom when I catch you?”
In the South, cute could mean those or it can be funny or sweet or many other things?. I meant funny???
Dang, and I thought you were going to come over here to catch me.
While your hemisphere is enjoying Spring/Summer, we are preparing for a vacation in the cold. As we say here, we need our heads read! We will take Ace to the snow one day. She’s never been.
We don’t often see snow in the Deep South, but occasionally we have 4 to 6 inches!
That’s quite a lot! We are heading up to our nation’s Capital and beyond. Do you get to yours much?
We have been several times, but not in the last few years! We have traveled quite a bit in Europe and all across the USA! Washington DC is a beautiful city!
Such a lovely start to my day! I always enjoy your churches and this one is no exception. It would have so many lovely stories to tell. Your historic district must be something special, old homes always capture my heart. Pam, your entire area must truly be beautiful, from the rivers to the fields and everything wonderful in between. I so enjoy all the beauty you share.
Have a most beautiful day and week! We are beginning to see spring here in the hills.
Thank you dear Sandra, wishing you a beauty-filled week!
What beautiful photos…I love seeing your area. Did your talented son take them from his drone? Hope we get to see the agapanthus once it blooms!!
Hi Roxanne! Yes, our son took the drone photos!
Always Sundays are relaxing and charming. The style of American house fascinates me, they are beautiful …
I’m working on everything I’ve seen in Ireland. It is not easy to tell everything without it being an endless story, so I advise a lot of patience.
Fondly
