This time of year always makes me think of the narrator's voice at the very beginning of the movie "Charlotte's Web," when he talks about "a farm in springtime." :-)

Happy First Day of Spring!

I would always greet it in a garden."

A Tour of Nottoway Plantation
Our guide to the beautiful Nottoway Plantation
was the sweetest little elderly lady.
She spoke with a syrupy, southern accent as she told
the most fascinating stories of the mansion home.
We could have listened to her all day. :-)
"At the edge of the sugarcane field stands the majestic Nottoway. This historic and architectural jewel was completed in 1859 by a wealthy Virginia planter named John Hampden Randolph for his wife, Emily Jane, and their eleven children. Nottoway is the largest remaining antebellum mansion in the Southern United States and splendidly rests along Louisiana's Great River Road in White Castle, at the heart of Plantation Country."

A Walking Tour of Vermilionville
While in Louisiana I enjoyed a lovely morning tour of "Vermilionville".
Vermilionville is a living history museum, whose purpose is to preserve and interpret authentic elements of folk life and cultures of the Cajun and Creole heritage. The settlement of Vermilion is now know as Lafayette.
The park seeks to enlighten visitors about the history and culture of acadiana. 
Beau Bassin house was built around 1840.
La Maison Mouton is a reconstruction of an 1810 house with a detached kitchen and forge.
La Maison Buller is a beautiful house built in 1803.
The Chapelle des Attakapas is a reproduction of a Catholic church.
La Maison Boucvalt was built in 1860. 
The Amand Broussard House at Fausse Point, built in 1790, is the oldest and largest of the houses at Vermilionville.
L'Academie de Vermilionville is a reproduction of a typical 1890's schoolhouse.
A lovely nature trail of native plants runs alongside the houses.
