What We Seen at Shiloh

Granny, tenderly know round heah as "Mimi-cita," gits herself a fit of cabin fever onc't in awhile.

So, to hep her out, me and a fambly member rode her up the road a piece to Shiloh...that'd be the crow crossin' to the west of Micanopy (Home of the famous ole' book store, O'Brisky's .) Shiloh is famous fer they daylillies.



Now ya'll can see right off this is a secret spot fer those in the know--not jes' anybody can find Shiloh--sorta like a scavenger hunt through backwoods Floridy.

But onc't ya git back in heah, oh mercy, but it is full of lovely, ole-timey places, like this heah main house of Shiloh Daylillies.










This is one endearin' ole Floridy homestead.

Ya' cain't find this sorta thang jes' anywhar'.















Mimi-cita cain't make it through the grounds on her walker, so the man-around-the- place kindly squired her about in his golf cart. Mimi swooned over this pink rose.

The garden is higgledy -piggledy, and thas' part of its charm....

We found us a few fine specimens and then went on down the road a piece to the next place....stay tuned.

Hey ya'll.... I shure did miss ever'body durin' my Lenten hiatus ... but I did notice ya'll made out jes' fine wif'out Aunty B lookin' over ya shoulders.



I done had mah fill now of deviled eggs and chocolate bunnies....but mercy! What a Spring we is havin'! We even had a lost duck lay her eggs at the end of the rose bed in a clump of ferns! Imagine the surprise of Easter Egg hiders when t hey found those eggs in the very sot they though to hide some eggs!

The flowers is too gorgeous to describe, the sky so blue, grass green enough ter hurt yore eyes..
But I still is hearin' the call.



Ya know? That tug at the heart , that yearnin' in the bones to be on the move....


I'se always content to git home afterwards, but I knows when I'se wastin' effort to resist--I gotta git ter roamin' here now here in a few weeks--got the bug, ants in mah knickers.... "I'm a-leavin' on a jet plane" but I does know when I'll be back again...




















So tis here is what I'se wonderin': Whar does ya'll wanna go? If ya had ONE surprise trip to take this year, whar' would ya go?
