My Saturday Evening Post 5/13/23 “Thank You”

I’m Thankful to live in Savannah’s National Historic Landmark District, where daily walks never fail to reveal yet another source of marvel-worthy beauty.

As I’ve said before, HR and I live off Washington Square, the northeastern most of our 22 extant squares. It’s the tiny green one in the upper righthand corner on the map below. Across from the Savannah River.

The historic district is a walker’s dream, with surprises hidden down tiny lanes and in secret gardens.

Here a few sightings from our midday walk.

Lucious Lilies

And Hearty Hydrangea

Sunlight through Japanese Maple

And a bit of gratitude and love to Jimmy Carter …

Thankful & Peaceful Saturday to you all.

P.S. I even thought some “weeds” were pretty, perched proudly at the curb, their dynamic green exuding roadside royalty.

Longleaf Music

About an hour ago, Robert and I arrived at our Seminole State Park cottage in southwest Georgia on the Florida and Alabama border.

It’s overcast and raining with a threat of severe weather.

We’ve been to this park before and love it, one major reason being the prevalence of our favorite tree, the Longleaf Pine.

Here are a few pines outside our door along the shore of a finger of Lake Seminole. They are swaying gently and singing with the wind in the evening rain.
