Snowy Days in Savannah!!

As you may have seen on the news, snow came to the South, including Savannah.  We've been here when there was a cold snap, but never snow and apparently there has never been this much snow here.  Only 3" total, but here everything stops.  Only major streets get plowed; sidewalks aren't cleared because who has snow shovels or salt! The main plan is to wait until temperatures rise and everything melts. So we've been snug in our vacation rental since Wednesday.  But the bonus is uninterrupted collage time!

Kustom Hustle Tattoo has such a wonderful facade; evoking old-school tattoos, which I assume is intentional as they advertise 'Traditional Tattooing.'

The green door is  next to our place and it is almost as vibrantly green as in this collage. The 'lady' planter always catches my eye, especially her somewhat stern face, and here she is in full flower abundance.

Eyes on the House includes some 'purloined' art from photos I've taken in various shops and restaurants.  Some of the 'eye' wall was a single display, but I've embellished things and added other photos. The wonderful woman with houses is from a painting in our favorite breakfast place, but here she is amplified.  I especially like the woman, as I myself often use over large figures in my collage.

We hope to venture out this afternoon as temperatures warm to the mid-forties. But I'm happy with my photos and thinking of the next piece.

Till next time.

The many styles of architecture here in Savannah continues to inspire me. Our daily walk-abouts always have a new discovery even after all these years.  

Forsyth Park is almost a daily stop. This coat of many colors, vibrantly pink, orange and more,  totally caught my eye. She enjoyed greeting the various dogs walking through, so here in her many versions, are some companions.

This  antique shop is on my daily route.  The blue chair with flowers is part of its decor,  Our 1920's parasol lady enjoys the scene.

On Saturday each week there is Farmer's Market at Forsyth Park - food and crafts. Tusk Coffee provides fuel for shopping and coffee to go.  They call their traveling coffee truck, 'to go Jo'.

More out and abouts to come.

Savannah, Georgia 2025!!

I'm fortunate to be Wintering in Savannah once again. We've been coming here for 10 years in varying lengths of stay, since we first stopped overnight on our way to St Petersburg, Florida. 

It's colder here than usual, but nothing compared to the wintery temps in other places.  We're still doing our usual rambles and people-watching in Forsyth Park, but the cooler temps makes us want to be cozy at home in the afternoons, which is a perfect time for collage.

I delighted in the 'Roly Poly' sign and knew it was a perfect collage background for me.  I found the colorful figure on a vintage blog; she posts herself in her retro outfits. I think she'd find the little dog a perfect companion.

Our dear friends, Morris and Elizabeth, met up with us on their way north to Asheville, NC from Florida.  We had a lovely lunch and a wonderful long chat at the Rancho Alegre Cuban Restaurant, one of our long-time favorite places.

I read about Kim's Cafe in a great Savannah food blog, Eat It and Like It, by Jesse Blanco.  You may have heard of it as well, since Kamala Harris visited there last summer.  Great  'down home' breakfast and we're looking to go back for dinner. I'm up for the Meatloaf!  The Cafe also does a lot of community work with programs for youth and providing free meals weekly at a local church.
