A picture tour out FM 1504

Entry April 29, 2010

Even a trip out to take photos of a listing can be an adventure.
I traveled out FM1504 to take Virtual Tour Views of a beautiful
wooded retreat with a beautiful estate home on Tuesday. Not
only were the flowers at that home stunning (mostly roses),
but the fields along the way made it a pleasurable drive.

Here's a selection of the flower pictures
from our listing CC1733 on 20 Wooded AC

These were taken along FM 1504 between
Edgewood and the Interstate

Don't wait...come on out to the country and enjoy the
best state highways in the country, the most beautiful
land and the friendly people in East Texas!

April in Edom-April 17, 2010

Entry April 22, 2010

We wandered around this weekend (taking our own advice)
and went Saturday morning to the April in Edom Festival. There
was to be rain later in the day, but the morning was
sunshiny and bright. Edom is a great little community
(referred to as "artsy"). There were lots of arts and crafts
available, music, good food and just a good time.
The best part was driving along the highways and
enjoying the azaleas blooming plus fields of
Indian Paint Brushes. It is a great time to be
out and about. Here are some
pictures of our adventures.

Be sure to drop by the Rockin' Robin Ice Cream Shop for great
ice cream anytime you are in Edom!

Views from the April in Edom Festival April 17, 2010

Great flower views along the way there and back to Canton!

April is fun in East Texas!

We hope you will come back often to see what is
happening in and around Canton, and
the rest of North East Texas!

These pictures were sent to me and even though they
aren't East Texas, they represent some of the best of
Texas as a whole. These were recently taken down in
the Hill Country, which is very like out
rolling hills of East Texas. Hope you enjoy!

If you aren't from Texas, you may not know that the state
flower is the Bluebonnet. You will find it to be worth
the trip just to see them in full bloom in Texas. Get
out and drive around if you live in our fair
state. You will love it!
