Daffs

 

It's beginning to look and feel a lot like spring around here.

Monkee's

 

Monkee's is now open for business. According to the Monkee’s of Williamsburg website, the store offers an extensive selection of designer boutique-style shoes, clothing, and accessories that are hand-picked seasonally to reflect current trends while also maintaining a classic Southern style.

Ox Bodies

According to its web site, Ox Bodies designs and manufactures dump truck bodies for construction, demolition, aggregate, municipal, agricultural and industrial applications. Seems quite appropriate indeed here in a town where one regularly sees real live oxen at work. :-)

Harbinger

I was surprised to see such bright color already beginning to appear in this garden. 

Palace Gate

 

Palace gate looks like it could use a little attention this spring.

Bowden-Armistead House

 

"The Bowden-Armistead House, a three-story Greek Revival home surrounded by black wrought-iron fencing, stands out. It is an antebellum relic; the last remnant of the post-colonial homes and businesses present before the 1930s restoration of Williamsburg was finished. The house is located at 207 W. Duke of Gloucester Street, on a lot once owned by the adjacent Bruton Parish Church. Built in 1858 by prominent lawyer Lemuel J. Bowden, local gossip of the time reported its astonishing cost to be more than $10,000. The Bowden-Armistead House has ever since been a landmark on the cultural and geographic landscape of Williamsburg’s main street." -- The House & Home Magazine
