We visited the home of author Marjorie Kinnan Rawlings in Cross Creek.

She is best known for her novel The Yearling about a boy who adopts 

an orphaned fawn and for which she won the Pulitzer Prize in 1939.

Unfortunately the home was not open for tours 

so I had to peek my camera up against window screens!

I like to think the area hasn't changed too much since she lived there.

A few more homes and the paving of the road perhaps,

but it's still considered rural Florida and for that I love it.
