A Painted Lady

Our little town has numerous painted ladies and it seems most of them have a coat of pink paint -- somewhere!!!!!

This is a grand Victorian which has recently been repainted into a more colorful scheme -- before the porch posts and rails as well as the lattice beneath were white.

Painted ladies are a bit more colorful and certainly the combinations of paints bring a smile to anyone's face!

This house is famous in our little town for scenes from Gordon Park's The Learning Tree were shot inside. So this is our "movie house"!

Our little town is full of these painted ladies and for anyone close enough, we make a good day trip -- there's lots to see and do -- a historic downtown with great shops, some great restaurants, a trolley to ride around town (and past these painted ladies), a historic National Cemetery and our pride and joy -- the Fort Scott National Historic Site.

It's Pink Saturday so please join Beverly at How Sweet the Sound.
