WHIFF OF SPRING




Such a gorgeous sunshiny day today. The courting buggy is out, the grass is green. Love is in the air. The swimming pool is repainted in beautiful light blue color. The trees and shrubs are budding. The stars are bright at night. Love your life with all your might. The moon is full, the evening lull. The ancient manor walls whisper their secrets from the hall. San Valentine loads his bow; who will his lance hit, nobody knows. His arrows will hit the world with joys and values, like the farmer's tiller softens the lumpy soil.
Thank you Lord for the things I see, the feelings I have, the bugs and the trees. You are all around us Lord with beauty, colors and scents. San Valentine will have to show us how to fall in love with nature again. Show us how lucky we are to be surrounded by nature and have a roof of stars over our heads.

Courting buggy


In garage I have a 1800 courting buggy, with original wood spoke wheels and leather seat occupies the space of a car. The Piano Box buggy became a popular buggy by the beginning of the 20th century. Also known today as the Doctor Buggy the Piano Box buggy was named that because the main body, also colled a box, resembled a piano box.

Gardener's delight.



Knock out roses bloom all year around, on the left. In front of you: the elevated organic vegetable garden produces profusely. Partial view from the large, concrete back patio facing the entrance of the enclosed swimming pool. A separate salt water heated pool building 34x58'. The large patio shaded by a tall, wide top, fruit producing palm tree is the ideal sun tanning place, after few laps in the healthy salt water pool.
Remember: Location for rehab, rehabilitation, water exercise, reab nursing home, elderly care house to find and keep suitable jobs. Restaurant! Large parking lot.

Lattice fense



An elongated lattice fence separates the pool building from the back road entrance to the house, guest house and apartment. The proprierty viewed towards the West, in Millbrook, Elmore County (AL) - The manor is built on the rise of the property. In the background you see the intersection of Monument Dr with Highway 14 (Robinson Springs Rd) where it arose a new commercial settlement. The whole area is an entrepreneurs paradise: Short Cuts, Grand Buffet, Watkins Anne F, Money Store, Hair Masters, El Jalapeno's, Winn Dixie: Pharmacy.
