Weekend visit to Parker's Ferry

We just returned from a brief visit with Suz and Jim over at Parker's Ferry, Jim's plantation which is a beautiful natural oasis on the banks of the Combahee River. It's about a 5 hour drive from Atlanta--not too bad. We did the usual -- walks on the dikes, alligator and bird watching, a trip to Plum's for lunch in Beaufort. And some shopping for the nieces and nephews. All in all a nice change of pace. Plus Suzy cooked some yummy meals.

I asked Alan what his favorite thing was about Parker's and he said, "the quiet." I might concur, although I answered "the color palette," which right now has the bright greens of spring and this weekend featured slate blue skies with puffy thunderheads. It was very nice to get a bit of respite.
