Jeepers

Powder Mill Hill

Near Lawrenceburg, Tennessee

I went back this weekend, but was not inspired by much.  It was mid-day and the sun made everything unattractive.  And, you know sometimes places and things (and people) seem all great and wonderful the first time . . . then you take a second look . . .

Anyway, I saw this cool Jeep.
Reckon those are bullet holes in the back window ?

Cahoots

Don't get confused by my junk hangouts.

This is a different place than my Powder Mill Hill posts.

This shot was taken in a restaurant, Cahoots, that I love to visit in Hartselle, Alabama.

Each square yard of space, except the walking spaces, is filled with antique/vintage things.

I take more pictures every time I'm there because there are always different things there and everything is rearranged on a frequent basis.

American

Powder Mill Hill
Somewhere between Lawrenceburg and Pulaski, Tennessee

So many times there is something in a photo that I wish I had looked at more closely at the time of the shot.
What is that pink thing on the left side of the porch?

 This place is photo opp rich and only about thirty minutes from home and I had planned to go back anyway.

When it is cooler.  Much cooler.
Hey, the forecast shows ten degrees cooler next week.  Only 97!

Update:  Everyone is asking so many questions about this place . . .
There are three or four buildings with cool junk.  American Picker worthy junk.
I don't think they live there, but I'm sure nearby.  The owner said he and his dad had another business there from the 70s and it just grew into this.

Yes, this building is built over a creek.
There is a path along the creek from the back of the main store along the creek to this building.

It's just cool.

If you use my Label for Powder Mill Hill you can see a few other shots I've already posted.
I'll have a few more shots to post here and there from this visit.
Then, of course, when I go back . . .

Weekend Reflections

The Pioneer Woman Cooks

I love it when a package arrives.  Especially when it brings a beautiful item.

An item with so many things in one package.

Food.  Color.  Photography.  Cats.  Dogs.  Horses.  Cows.  Kids.  Rural.  Life.

The Pioneer Woman - My New Cookbook

We watch several cooking shows and I have seen The Pioneer Woman television show a few times.

I like the show, but the airings usually coincide with other activities so I don't get to see it all the time.

I was interested in her cookbooks, but my friend's blog The Woman at the Well showcases many of her recipes.  So, I just visited Kerry's blog and The Pioneer Woman's blog and tried to be happy with that.

Kerry belongs to the Sweet As Pie Cooking Club and the club recently attended a book signing by Ree Drummond. 

Kerry brought her book for me to see before I bought it and the decision was made.
I had to have one.

The book is beautiful so I had to share it.

It draws me for many reasons other than the simple, scrumptious, step-by-step recipes
(see book cover above title :)).

There are many, many photos in the book.

Beautiful photos of not just the food and food preparation, but photos from her life.

The first place I went was to the index.

Burgers.

I.Love.Burgers

I was going to include photos here of photos in the book, but the fine print said bla, bla, bla about reproducing bla, bla, bla, so I'm going to leave you curious with just my text that would go along with the photos.

Isn't that a wonderful looking burger and a beautiful photo of a burger?

Handsome men and horses.

If you like horses, there are many wonderful horses.

Cats.  What can I say about a cookbook with lots of cat photos.

Simply wonderful.

Kids.  Sweet photos of kids doing kid things.

If you just love beautiful books, I can recommend this one.

And then, there is The End.

And what a delightful end it is.

Metal, wood, and pottery

The list of things I collect is growing every year.  Here is ironstone, silverplate platters, and rulers.  Go figure.
