My Saturday Evening Post: 2/7/25 “A Farmhouse Goodbye”

Posted on February 7, 2026February 7, 2026 by Neal Saye

So yesterday, Robert and I cleaned up the old farmhouse in Southeast Georgia where we have been staying for the last month while our downtown Savannah place was being renovated.

Did the last of the laundry (no dryer) …

I actually enjoyed (well, for a temporary time) the sensation of hanging wet washing on the clotheslines among the Spanish Moss.

We started loading boxes and bags in the kitchen for the return trip.

Looked down and saw him …

Benny in the Box.

He was ready to go home.

Enjoyed our last fire (the place had no central heat).

Enjoyed our unusual but FUN time in the snow a couple of days ago…

Sampled the “attractions” in the tiny town of Springfield GA (pop. 2,874) …

Our favorite Coffee/Bakery/Breakfast place …

And outdoor in January grilling and eating between the cold spells.

A Joyous Adventure. Thank you, Universe/God/Whomever for Such a Splendid Stay.

And that’s My Saturday Evening Post.

My weekly gratitude journal, of sorts.

1. The Joy of Sharing a Meal with Friends.

Peggy, Moi, Mike and HR at the very cool *Public* restaurant in Savannah.

2. Oh my GOODness, Tuesday’s breakfast at Ally’s Bakery in Rincon GA, near the farmhouse where we’re staying while our place in Savannah is being renovated.

Perfect quiche with oh-my-GOODness pastry

Ally’s cakes and cookies are works of art. Check out some of her work/art on her website:

3. The amazing ability to SMELL! Walking into Abby’s the first time!

4. Laughing at discovering the outdoor shower at the old farmhouse where we are staying. The farm belongs to our friend Gordon who lives in Arizona but keeps his grandparents’ farm for visits to Georgia.
