Cross Creek visit

The visit to Cross Creek, the farm that

Marjorie Kinnan Rawlings moved to in 1928,

was one of the highlights of my Florida trip.

The house was not open for tours the day we

were there, so all pictures of the house interior

were taken through the screen doors/windows;

hence, they are not the best.  I hope

you will enjoy them anyway...

We entered through this gate

to the citrus grove...

The farmhouse was assembled from three separate

buildings connected with porches, 40 years before Marjorie

moved there.

Looking at the front of the house...

and the front porch, where Marjorie did most

of her writing...

What a perfect spot to nap on a hot

summer day/night...

Living room...

bedroom...

and even the closet had a window

so I could get a picture ...

This is about half the pictures I have to share;

so, I will post the rest next time.

I found a copy of the book Cross Creek, a narrative

of Rawling's life in the remote Florida hamlet,

at the library, and I can't wait to get

started on it...
