Siegel's Servants Quarters

Most of the little houses like this one have long ago been torn down,

 but the Siegel's Servants Quarters has a home in Heritage Village.

 Built around 1900, the building is on the Historic Register.

 Historic Village is the project of the

 Selma-Dallas County Historic Preservation Society. 

Several small, historic structures were moved to this site. 

The village is annually featured on the Selma Pilgrimage,

 and this year will feature demonstrations of early crafts such as 

basket weaving, pottery, quilting and soap making.

 (I hear that there may be a few chickens and goats too!) 

Side Shadows

Branches from the tall shade trees at the Ben Ellis Dunaway House

 in Orrville dance across the side of this antebellum structure

 that once was a boys' academy. 

The home is one of several that will be on tour

 at this year's Historic Selma Pilgrimage March 16-17.

Sidewalk Flower Show

This fence belongs to a garden and landscape professional

who doesn't just plant inside the fence!

 There's a a flower show along his sidewalk every season of the year.

Ye Olde Gasoline Pump

Oh to find six gallons of gasoline for slightly more than $1!

I wonder just how old this pump is! Notice that the fuel contains the dreaded lead!

Anyway, it makes some great vintage yard art

 and stands along a street in rural Dallas County.

ABC Wednesday, E for Early

Another round of ABC Wednesday is here, and the letter is "E."

 So, how about an EARLY spring! The vine with the pretty yellow blooms

 is more EVIDENCE that despite a calendar that still

 says it's February, spring isn't going away!
