Sunday Morning Maysville

Tiny building downtown, one of many interesting architectural gems in Maysville.









Interesting details on old door steps.
Phillip's Folly built in 1831 and undergoing renovation, was once the site of a notorious slave pen, a holding area before slave auctions. A later owner of the house was a conductor on the Underground Railroad.

A tumbly-down house down the street
My very colorful front porch


It's been almost three months of non-stop working on the house, driving back and forth to Ohio, moving part of my stuff and I am in need of a break. So, this weekend I decided to slow down...try to relax a bit. Took an extra long walk with the dog, made a necklace, went to a free concert downtown, ate Sunday breakfast at a restaurant downtown, and took photos in the brilliant blue skied Ohio River Valley morning. And the weekend isn't over yet!

Tiny Garden for a Friend

Part of the nasty "before" mess.


Not sure why but I gravitate to this space. The first time I stood down here after buying the house I just couldn't accept that this mess was also a part of my house- it was filthy with dog doo and garbage and just overwhelmed me. But, I loved the breeze, the tiny bit of river view and the old rock retaining wall. Now, after 6 weeks of working inside the house and making real progress we had a little time to make a start on this area. The little garden area was a filthy mud pit with perhaps two weeds in it. My friend who was visiting created the little garden. Despite the 90+ degree heat it was cool and welcoming here today.
