Eufaula Pilgrimage

Warning lots of photos in this post!
Lovely welcome to Eufaula

Pretty in Blue

Azaleas and Dogwood blooming everywhere
 Spent Friday and Saturday in Eufaula with my BFF.  Had a grand and glorious time!  We toured homes and gardens of the fourty-sixth annual Eufaula Pilgrimage. 



They had a very bad storm come through about a week ago and many of the dogwood blossoms were down.  Bulbs and flower beds were beat down too.  I managed some decent photos with the big Nikon and will share some here and in the next post. 
All dressed up for the show
The town did a lovely job hosting the hoards that descended.  Everything was well organized and the locals very friendly. 

The house below was not on the tour, but was one of my favorites,  interesting shape and nice  bones.
One of my favorite houses

Kendall Manor
The home to the right was on the candlelight tour.  It was newly restored and the owners keen to show it off.  Each of the homes had musicians on the front or back porch.  Here it was a bell choir.  Many had flutes and hammered dulcimers which were devine!

They had opportunities to meet and talk with Southern authors.  I met Jeanetta Britt and purchased her murder mystery "Pickin Ground".  I started it last evening and could easily loose myself in it for the day if the back yard grass wasn't a foot deep.
