Hi Tiffany! There is a story to the church's name. Two little girls were killed when their chauffeur became stuck on the railroad tracks. I'm not sure of the full story but it happened in the 30s. There is a beautiful stain glass window dedicated to them at the entrance.
I'm sorry you aren't here to enjoy the dogwoods/redbuds. I know Alabama is extremely pretty this time of year, too.
Thanks WW100. It is really nice to have a church as a neighbor. We get to see all the wedding gowns. :)
Thank you, Diane. Just passing a little color around...;D
Oh, no Mary! Stay warm and spring is coming! :)
Thanx, J. Kaye! :)
The daffodils are done here and the azaleas are beginning to pop, Booklogged. By May it will be summer! :
Holy Cow, Paul. I had no idea! :) Any books?
Oh, no Clair! Okay, just pretend you are on a lawn chair in my driveway enjoying the 68 degrees with sun and breeze as soft dogwood petals blow onto your bare toes. :D
beautiful--the trees here are still a few weeks away from budding out, we're in mud season but it was still cool enough this evening to have a fire (it's in the 30s and rainy)
Maggie, that is a beautiful photo. We're to have another cold spell this weekend in North Carolina -- the last one, I hope! By the way, I have moved my blog (formerly PfeifferBooknotes) to Booknotes by Lisa at http://booknotesbylisa.blogspot.com if you want to update your blogroll. I just got everything changed over and have been painting all week, so there aren't any new posts as of yet. But, I start on my new job tomorrow, and I'll get back into a routine soon. Maggie, you were the first person to comment on my blog,and I'll never forget you for it!!
Lovely photo. There's just something so quaint about an Episcopal church (says she who is an Episcopalian "preacher's kid")
Our dogwoods & redbuds are just beginning to leaf out. All I've seen in bloom thus far is the forsythia and a few daffodils. My star magnolia is showing a few pink buds that look ready to burst. Come on, spring!!
It anchors the north end of main street and the Methodist church anchors the south. I walk to the Methodist church, but lately I've backslide. I've been home to enjoy the Episcopal services in my home. I can hear their organ when I take a shower. :D
Spring 2008
old church

and spring shadows.
Love it Paul! I visited your blog this morning and noticed you are in a burst of poetic energy. :)
ReplyDeleteThe name of the church made me chuckle! The picture is beautiful, though. (sigh) I miss the South.
ReplyDeleteHow pretty.
ReplyDeleteI love your little church.
More inspiration to you.
'tis a lovely photograph!
ReplyDeleteWhat a lovely photo. Gives me hope that Spring might visit the North someday... we may get snow tonight.
ReplyDeleteOh my, how beautiful!
ReplyDeleteIt's nice to know that spring has made its appearance somewhere in the world. Actually, I saw a few daffodils in bloom today.
ReplyDeleteYes Maggie I am a poet and was first published in 1979. :-)
ReplyDeleteWish that it looked like that here-yesterday in central Minnesota we got 10 inches of snow.

ReplyDeleteYuck, Sage! I'm reading Mudbound, set in Mississippi, but sounds like it could be where you stand. :)
ReplyDeleteJust beautiful.

ReplyDeleteThanks Deana! And, the dawgs are gorgous! ;D
ReplyDeleteThanks Lisa, and I'll update my blogroll. Wow, a new job! How exciting!
I'm excited to be the first to leave a comment, but I know I was just the first of many, Lisa. Pfeiffer will miss you.
maggie - is there going to be a summer reading challenge this year?
ReplyDeleteDo tell!
I'm planning on it Diane. I'm reading a new Southern book now and I can't wait to share...
ReplyDeleteIn magazines and reviews. A chapbook is in the works. :-)
ReplyDeleteI look forward to it Paul! :)
