It Was Love at First Sight



I live near a town where turn of the century homes are everywhere. There are many grand Victorian beauties that have been on the covers of magazines. But this house is my favorite.

I don't know what it is, but there is something about this house that makes me smile every time I see it. The wide front porch with rockers and fans that invite people to sit and relax with a mint julep (but make mine a strawberry lemonade please). The bright, friendly colors - I absolutely love the touches of red with the yellow. The big, shady tree. If houses were people, this one would be a comfortable grandma with a big hug for everyone. It's an "ahhhhh, I'm home" kind of home.

Until next time, may you have blessings and happy home,
Marti
