Architectural Beauty

The earth is the LORD's, and the fulness thereof;

the world, and they that dwell therein.

Psalms 24:1

I am constantly amazed at all the beauty around me.

When I see beautiful old buildings I always wonder how

long it took to build them and I also wonder about the

people involved...their families etc.

Doesn't this gorgeous photo remind you of somewhere

in France?

I was out and about taking a few photos in a local town

this past week and could not wait to share them

with you.

{hope no one was inside watching me. lol.}

Wisteria vines that I hope will be laden with blossoms

soon because I will be checking back in a few weeks.

I hope you enjoy your Sunday and all the beauty that

the Lord has surrounded us with.

Blessings~

I have fallen in love...again...

{Coldwater, Michigan library}

Saturday we took a drive several miles away to Coldwater, Michigans Apple Fest. We used to

go a lot more often, but have not been for several

years. Although all we purchased were some

apples and fudge, it was still nice just to get out and

enjoy the beautiful day.

I fell in love with this beautiful old building that

is used for the library and so of course I took

several photos to share with you.

love these steps and gate beautiful chippiness

There were many different varieties of apples for sale.

We purchased Gala apples. They are soooo good!

We saw a lot of white tents set up with crafts and

baked goods.

I hope you have a beautiful White Wednesday!!

I am linking up with Kathleen over at Faded Charm

again today.

These feet were made for walkin...

and walk they did...

in Hillsdale, Michigan today

Remember last year when I showed you pictures

that I took at the Hillsdale college arboretum? Here we are again today...

only a whole month earlier!

aren't these trees just gorgeous?

I love the gazebo too!

We saw some young ladies all dressed up and

some young men in white tuxedos so I wonder

if there was a wedding about to take place.

I didn't get as many pictures as I wanted to

because it was just too cold and windy. Lucky to get the ones I did. lol.

I think these may be weeping cherry trees

a nice place to stop and take a rest

whatever these trees are... I love them!

Hillsdale is one of the most beautiful towns I

have ever seen and I am so glad I live close by!

If I had to live in town I would pick this one.

It is full of beautiful old victorian homes.

Believe it or not this is the front of the hospital!

Beautiful trees in the hospital yard.

I love this beautiful old church too.

The stained glass windows in it are amazing!

Hopefully someday I can get pictures of them too.

Hillsdale College campus

One of my favorite houses on the main street

I would love to live here!

Another house right beside the previous one

This street is just lined with architectural beauty

and hundreds of flowering trees in spring!

When it is flower planting time the garden club

donates beautiful hanging baskets that

line the streets. They are so beautiful and lush

it is breathtaking.

The ideal small town to live in for sure!

Happy weekend! Blessings~

Come Into My Garden...I Want My Roses To Meet You ~

First of all I am overwhelmed! Thank you to everyone who is signing up for my giveaway! There really are a lot of people in blogland who love birds~

I picked some of my old fashioned roses yesterday and took photos of them with different backgrounds. It had just rained and if you look close you might see a few raindrops . I so love taking photos...We will call the photos above and below Rust and Roses ~ Lace and Roses ~

Architecture and Roses~

Mirror Image Roses

These roses have the strongest heavenly smell! Just this one little vase that I have sitting on my kitchen table gives the whole room a heavenly smell. I have a feeling these roses are very old. They were here when we moved to this house 27 years ago and probably long before that. They are so easy to move too. Every year I have little starts all around the main bush which I dig up and plop in the ground and I have a new rose bush the next year. Can't get any easier than that! Have a blessed day today ~
