Trip to a Camellia Garden

Yesterday my hubby I am visited Massee Lane Gardens. It was a pretty sunny day!

It is located about 45 minutes south of us, we enjoyed the drive since it was such a pretty day.

Let me tell you a little about it, then I'll just let you look at the photo's of these beautiful and sweet smelling Camellia's.

The gardens are maintained by the American Camellia Society for the education and enjoyment of visitors and it's members.

The 10 acre garden features one of the finest camellia collections in the world. It began as a private garden in the 1930's. Massee Lane Garden has served as the headquarters of the American Camellia Society since 1968.

Now we didn't walk the whole 10 acre's, that would have taken us forever a long, long time as slow as we get around.

It didn't take us long till we had to rest on one of the many benches!

Yes, you can but them, too!

Don't know the name of this, but it sure did smell good. The whole Garden smelled so sweet, I went down the paths, sniffing!!

I think this yellow Camellia was my favorite, along with the pink one I put on first!

I hope you enjoyed seeing these beautiful and sweet smelling flowers. I wish you could 'scratch and smell'. Oh well maybe you'll take my word for it! This was only half of the photo's that I took!

Have a Blessed Day!

A 'PEACH' OF AN OUTING

I love those old towns that haven't changed in time! They touch my heart in some way that I can't seem to explain.

The old stores!

Here in this little and I do mean 'little' town of Musella, Ga. is an old 'Cotton Gin'.  It sits next to the Peach Packing shed that has some of the best Peaches in Georgia. We try to go every year and get peaches and ice cream.  My hubby and I met my daughter, and two grandchildren there yesterday, to have a day out.

See the old car on the left. Don't see many of those anymore!

Inside there is so much to see and do! Of course this is where they pack the peaches, today they weren't packing, guess they must be picking!

Don't they look delicious!

 This is some that are For Sale.

Above the packing area and around the building are old furniture and things that were used long ago.

Love the old stove and coffee table.

The building is open air and the ceiling is full of ceiling fans.

Lot's of veggie's and other items for sale.

Oh, I can't forget to tell you about the Peach Ice Cream, it was so good!  Here's Anna with hers in a waffle cone. I got mine in a cup.

I hope you enjoyed our trip to the Peach Packing Shed!

HAVE A BLESSED DAY!

Day Trip

A few days ago, my hubby and I took a trip up to the North Georgia mountains,  to the town of Ellajay, just at  the start of the mountains.

 The only thing is driving through Atlanta.  The traffic is so "bad", not at all like in my little town in Central Georgia.  It's a different kind of driving too.  My hubby drove a semi for 8 years in Atlanta and now he doesn't even want to drive there.

We passed Turner field where the Atlanta Braves plays.  "Go Braves" , they just won the National League Eastern Division title.

The ride and views, once we got to the mountains were pretty.  It was worth the two hour drive, although we both said from now on we would go south.  We love the mountains and when our 3 girls were young, we'd go every year.  It's always beautiful in the fall.  The leaves haven't started turning yet and we may try to go again in October (but maybe not).

This is were we went.. the Red Apple Barn, my hubby saw it on the news as a one tank trip, so off we went.

It wasn't as big as we had imagine it to be, but was quiet nice, inside it was filled with all kinds of goodies.

We bought Apple Bread, Apples and Chow Chow.  The bread was so good with butter on it and heated a few seconds in the microwave.. I did have tea with it but didn't take any pictures. Shame on me!

The ride back home wasn't much better, even though we tried to go back at a better time,,,not rush hour.

HAVE A BLESSED DAY!
