Just because it's June June June
A little late with the wallpapers this month, but I have a good excuse. (Downloads at the bottom of the post.) I‘ve been traveling to Jacksonville Florida for my nephew’s wedding, with a side road trip to Savannah where I loved discovering its historical beauty:
stately homes, many with interesting history. (Did you know that Savannah is the oldest city in Georgia?)
over a dozen “squares” in the downtown area, and fun little places tucked in corners. A very walkable city, but a free shuttle when you get pooped.
Amazing trees. Live oaks that drip their leaves.
The Telfair and Jepson Museums, where readers of Midnight in the Garden of Good and Evil will recognize “Bird Girl.”
I lunched in the Wildflower Cafe at the Jepson. I believe I had the best panzanella bread salad I’ve ever had. Quite yummy.
There are many benches in Savannah, in the squares and parks and streets. And hammocks. For to rest your weary feet.
And one of the coolest bookstores ever. With cats.
E. Shaver Bookstore. Like the Tattered Cover in Denver, it has a maze of rooms, comfy chairs, incredible inventory of books you couldn’t imagine. Fortunately, I only discovered it in my last hours in Savannah or I might have spent much much more on a trip that had already broken the bank.
And I had little meals at two different places: Henny Penny and Foxy Loxy. Really. Not on purpose.
The only bad thing about the timing, however, is that I missed the annual debut of the fullness of our peonies. Luckily, they haven’t completely left us yet. Their days with us are so beautiful but so short.
