Mount Vernon Church Road


        A little off the beaten path between Atlanta and Macon. Well worth the trip back in there for the Labor Day hike and picnic we had with the kids and in laws. This old Georgia relic just across the park we were spending the day in was quick study on the way out after a nice day with the family. It does not take long to get down a few details of a place like this. Takes a little longer to finish it up later in the peace and quiet of home; but it is done much more easily when you do not have to consider what the owner will think of the work!
        You might think this place came from out in the brush just a piece from where you call home. Minnesota, Kansas, Oregon, Vermont, Colorado... well for some it might be a little stretch. And actually unless you are in the deep south I don't think you will be seeing that particular tin roof any time soon. Am I right? Never have seen one in Kansas that I can remember.  This is the same tin that is on the roof of the Elberta Depot of which I posted a drawing last month.

        Not sure what the purpose of the tarps over the porch are. Probably not protection from the north wind in Georgia in September. Must be protection from prying eyes like mine, standing a few yards across the road; or from eyes coming and going from the park.
