Sometime this last winter we had an opportunity of visiting Jackson Mississippi. It was a Sunday so we found that most everything was closed, but we enjoyed very much driving slowly through the streets and took snaps of what caught my eye. I love the ice blue of this glass building.
I like this chimney design a lot. Maybe its all the quilt blocks or afghan blocks I've admired over the years but this chimney maker seems to have been in the 'block mode' as well.
One street closer to downtown had this colorful sign. We had a calico cat named Peaches once, so the name caught my eye too.
Throwing this in here, although it temporarily interrupts our visit to Jackson. A neighbor here in Bay St. Louis with a wonderful vegetable garden brought both the zucchini and tomatoes. I was looking through French- Delicious classic cuisine made easy and saw a picture that looked just like this. I realized that I had the same type of shallow clay pot to bake it in so I got to work. What you don't see are the caramelized onions and garlic underneath the other vegies, cook those first, top with tomatoes and zucchini slices, sprinkle with parmesan and drizzle with olive oil. Bake. Yum.
Back to Jackson, where we found Eudora Welty's house. One of my favorite books is her One Writer's Beginnings.
This is the house ( I hope) I took lots of pictures of other houses, but if memory serves, this is it.
Somewhere around the Welty neighborhood.. this area was lovely, although a gray day. It made me think what a nice walking neighborhood this would be.
Someday I will get back to Jackson on a day when more things are open. In the meantime I enjoyed our brief visit very much.
