It does my heart good to take a drive in the country once in awhile. There's always something interesting to see, and I come back home with a refreshed outlook.
There is one particular antique shop that I visit every time I'm out this way. I thought this swan gate was delightful for a garden.
I stopped at the original Lorenzos....
Yummy tacos.
On to the bakery.
Thought I'd get a treat to take home with me.
Love this sign.
And speaking of magnolia....
there is a pretty magnolia tree right in my neighborhood with the biggest blooms ever.

I often browse through the nursery. There was a big golden fish in the fish pond that was beautiful.
Driving home.
I guess I've always had a bit of
country in me.
Now, I think I'll have my treat
with a cup of coffee. ; )

Your photos are stunning.
That swan gate IS delightful! And I like the statuary. Oh, so many pretty things here -- those tall glass things in the median and beautiful flowers. Yummies, too! It sounds like a great day!
Love the swan gate! If I were an eccentric old lady living in a mansion on a tree-lined avenue in the heat of the Olde South...I would need that gate.
What a very lovely adventure. Thanks for sharing it with us. Now I want a raspberry danish with my tea. Everything was gorgeous, loved the magnolia and your stop to see the fish and walk in the garden.
Sheri, it looks like a wonderful day out doing wonderful things! I love the swan gate--it appears to be an antique. All the flowers are beautiful. The purple echinacea is blooming a lot earlier than our's here. A fun day with a sweet treat at the end--Yum!
I'm so glad you got to go for a ride in the country. I enjoyed all the beautiful scenes. Love the magnolia blossom and your bakery treat. How did you even decide with all those yummy choices. lol
Beautiful pictures,you had a great time!Thanks for taking me with you!(I don't know if my English is correct!Sorry)
Oh, Sheri... Taking a drive through the countryside is one of my favourite things to do. I always come home feeling refreshed... What a lovely day out you had - it was lovely seeing it all through your eyes.
Blessings...
Wonderful photos, Sheri! I hope you brought home treats for at least a couple days. I LOVE the swan gates. I have never seen anything even close to them.
I love all your photos and your story - it is like I was walking with you seeing these things with you. I loved that swan gate- gorgeous and I love teal. All the flowers are in bloom an out. I would not guess you had Magnolia trees there - but you sure do. I wondered what you picked out to eat - raspberry danish. In the park - was that colorful glass? And you are a very pretty country girl. sandie
Looks like a nice travel on those back roads...I LOVE THE GATE! That is amazing. And your treat with coffee looks so yummy. I would enjoy coffee with you for that....well I would anyway.
Dear, dear Sheri!!!!!!!!
I love the country. The French countryside, the British countryside, the Central California countryside and the open plains of Minnesota. In all these places, the music of nature sings to me in bird songs, the wind and the perfume of the native plants. How gorgeous is your journey here that you share, and to top it off, that GATE!!!!! It's like an entry into your day of magical moments. I truly think you should do something with that photo of the gate. It's a winner!
Hey me again, I went back and looked at your post again. I was blogging, on the phone, talking to the dogs and watching tv so I said the smallest amount. I love your pics, your ride around looks so peaceful and rewarding. I so love a good back road, country ride around. I am needing a good one long myself. Have a great day.
What beautiful photos Sheri. I LOVE that swan gate, and would buy it in a heartbeat to install in my own garden. It is just gorgeous. I do hope it finds a nice home. x
what a delightful journey out and about. that danish looked delicious. i love that i'm not thirsty sign.
I love that photos of you....a little bit country! And what beautiful things you saw on this trip! Love that swan gate and of course the lovely flowers. That iron work bird sure is gorgeous! Enjoy your day sweet friend!
The golden carp is great.
Sheri your artistry with the camera is amazing. You certainly know how to make that danish look extra fabulous. I think the swan gate is superb...I would be tempted to buy it and find a place for it in my garden. Well take care and have a great finish to your week. Hugs!
This swan gate is so unique and pretty, I love such places! ☺ Danish looks so tasty, have a lovely day☺☺
That was a lovely post, Sheri. Great photos,too. Oh, how I loved the swan gate. I'd buy that in a second. And the little sculptures are adorable. So glad you got a little ride into the countryside. The tacos sounded great and so did the raspberry danish. Just my kind of day! Susan

o portão tão criativo , o duende no jardim, as flores , taco e tudo mais especial.

Raspberry cheese danish is one of my favorites! Such lovely photos of your day in the country. Those swan gates are beautiful. Pretty photo of you too. Hope you have a pleasant evening.
So many beautiful glimpses of your outing and spring.
The magnolia flower made me sigh out loud. But all the photos were a joy to see. Lovely end of spring to you Sheri!
What a great trip to the garden place. Wow!!!! I would love to see it in person. I really love the water feature.
What a cute picture of you..taken a few years ago, I presume? lol Oh---to be that young again, huh, when the whole world was ahead of us.
Have a great night. xo Diana

Hello beautiful country girl!!!!!!
Thank you my friend, for coming to visit my blog post. Aren't those roses so pretty in the photos? And the garden bistro set....that is from my friend's antique shoppe. You should see the one I purchased a few summers ago from another pal...white, lacy design, sublime.
Have a glorious summer day!
You know I am always good to go for a drive in the country too...and what interesting things you seem to always find to photograph! Your photos are stunning, by the way. And that raspberry danish looks to die for....I hope you enjoyed it! Have a blessed week!
You tell such beautiful stories through your pictures. I always love everything that you love and that makes me happy.
