In two weeks, sister Rebecca and I are going to the Spring homes tour,

| Idlewild |
We have gone a few times in the past, and it is a great weekend of touring homes, gardens, and churches, and enjoying delicious lunches and beautiful receptions. Rebecca and I are especially looking forward to an event that will be held at Heritage Hall Museum.
A very unique opportunity is the "Ghosts of Talladega Cemetery Tour," where big characters of Talladega's past come to life and tell their stories in Oak Hill Cemetery.
Two years ago The Ghost Tour started about 5:30…perfect timing too. After a full day of walking, you are just tired enough to let your imagination get away with you as you hear these tales.
Doesn't this look like fun?
These reenactors were great!
Also on that year's schedule, the tour included a drive down Highway 21 to Plank Road Station in Winterboro for barbecue, music, and an outdoor art festival.
We even stopped by the Kymulga Grist Mill and Covered Bridge on the way.
This was interesting…some ladies were decorating the bridge for a wedding that afternoon.
We were just a few hours too early. Wouldn't it have been great to see a wedding on a covered bridge?

If you are looking for a great way to enjoy the coming of Spring, check out the link,
April in Talladega, to learn more about the homes on the tour this year, and come join us. It is great fun. Wear your walking shoes and bring your camera. Talladega is a hidden gem in this beautiful state of Alabama.
Let me add this… you can click on the titles that are typed in grey. They have been linked to the web for more information. The grey type does not show up very well for the reader, but when you scroll your mouse over it, the words become green. Just a tip from The Tip Jar!
