I took a deep breath and listened to the old bray of my heart: I am, I am, I am. ~Sylvia Plath, The Bell Jar
A mile of live oaks buried deep in the south leading to her Tara
The Yellow Roses~
A summer walk, the delicate moment of beauty is caught, time is fleeting but I stop and smell the roses….

To Kill a Mockingbird
“Maycomb was an old town, but it was a tired old town when I first knew it. In rainy weather the streets turned to red slop; grass grew on the sidewalks, the courthouse sagged in the square. Somehow it was hotter then: a black dog suffered on a summers day; bony mules hitched to Hoover carts flicked flies in the sweltering shade of the live oaks on the square. Men’s stiff collars wilted by nine in the morning. Ladies bathed before noon, after their three-o’clock naps, and by nightfall were like soft teacakes with frostings of sweat and sweet talcum.”
Southern Women are Fickle
The Old South
A day in Savannah.
I get in my car, and see what passes me by…

I park and walk along the street to a cafe I think of as another home

I stop to read, to watch, to listen

I walk again and feel the sun…

and smell the baker’s freshly made desserts.

I see what catches my eye…
and taste something warm.

The day is almost through and I am tired. I drive…
and park next to a familiar building…walk up some steps I have always known…

and I am HOME.

Southern Afternoon is a vintage tumblr theme for sale based on the charm and personal aspect of an old keepsake scrapbook. When you look though someone’s album you enter their world of memories, style, journeys, and you see what makes them so special. I wanted to create a blog design that read as important and personal as an old scrapbook so that one could share so easily just how unforgettable they are in a modern world.
I can’t wait to see what you publish in your scrapbook.
