Ok, so we just went down to the farm for a few days, and drove through Jefferson and Tyler on the way, but I did take a few cool pictures, and get some great ideas to paint-prismacolor-draw. I love going through Jefferson, TX. It is just a little corner of the earth that time seems to have forgotten about. Sasha came along with us, but as you can see I had to turn my hand into a muzzle when we came upon a group of cats (3 or 4 of them had the audacity to cross the street right in front of us, while I was trying to take a picture of a house. It drove Sasha nuts!).
Anyways, back to Jefferson... Every year the town selects about six different homes to be on the Christmas tour of homes, and everything is decorated with real garland, fruits, strung popcorn, and gingerbread. The rule is if they didn't have it to decorate with in Victorian times, then you can't use it. The home owners even dress up in Victorian style clothing, and many of them serve guests coffee, wassail, cider, and little baked treats. My family has gone on the tours quite a few times, and it is so neat to see what a great job the residents have done at keeping up the old homes.
