Rabun County, Georgia

I made a quick trip up to Rabun Gap last week to help Mom with some things up there. I love Rabun County. I wish we could stay the entire month of October, but we had to come back to take care of some things here. The leaves are just beginning to change. Mid October will be the best time to view the fall foliage. I'm planning to go back as soon as possible. For those of you who don't know Rabun County is in the Northeast corner of Georgia. About an hour and a half north of Atlanta on Highway 441.

 I took these pictures in front of the Rabun County Tax office in Clayton.





 I also visited the Antique Appliance store just off Main Street in Clayton. They restore antique stoves and refrigerators. All of the chrome parts are refinished and the porcelain coated burners are also recoated with porcelain. I thought all of the appliances were very interesting and beautiful. http://www.antiqueappliance.com/



This was the least expensive stove I saw for $1,000.00. The most expensive was $40,000.00









This was the largest wooden ice box I have ever seen. Perfect condition. The interior is all porcelain. Beautiful!


Pictures from my favorite vegetable stand in Franklin, N.C. I still have a pumpkin I bought here last year!  



This horse made of hay has a wreath of fresh bitter sweet around his neck.

Back in Rabun Gap we visited the Osage Farmers Market down the road from our house.












I love these signs! Please don't bite the corn!!!

This is the garden at Canyon Kitchen in Lonesome Valley. Just outside of Cashiers, N.C. in Sapphire Valley. The menu is planned around the fresh vegtables from the garden.  

Reservations are suggested check it out at  http://www.lonesomevalley.com/ Great food and wonderful atmosphere.
