The Magnolia businesses help bring thousands of visitors to Waco each year. Being so close to Hamilton, we can go over there pretty much whenever we want to go. We go occasionally for a cupcake but you sure don't want to go during spring break, sale times, a special event called Silobration or most Saturdays! Well, maybe you just shouldn't go at all! Luckily, or maybe not, Beverly gets her hair cut only a few blocks away so we go more than the average duck!
Here are a few pictures from a visit to Magnolia House Silos back in May, 2017.
In addition, we made a trip back to Eastland where we started out after we got married. We didn't get to live in any of the houses pictured here. Rather we lived in a little frame house behind the fire department. It was furnished in early poverty but we thought we had hit the jackpot!
My job was to hold the bags and keep quiet!
You don't see these up in the mountains of Colorado, but I like the color!
Miniature gardens seem to be the thing these days.
Another example.
Now this is a greenhouse! All cedar and glass.
We took a lot of pictures because we need one and this is
just what we need. Except for the cost!
Rock around the bottom, nice!
Plenty of shelves for Bev's potting shed, too.
The glass top lets in plenty of light!
But......what about a hail storm?
We like the raised beds around it, too.
These people have the resources to do whatever they want.
More raised beds....
Gravel walkways....
And all these people are going to pay for it!
The following pictures are from Seaman street in Eastland. I started there
as an Assistant County Agent in 1975 and Beverly and I would drive around town
drooling over some of these older homes that have been preserved so well.
Beautiful oaks,
interesting architecture...
great drives and back yards...
beautiful paint colors....
bay windows.....
and welcoming curb appeal...
make for a beautiful street!
Oh, and the wrought iron fence didn't go unnoticed by Beverly!
