A Walk

I spent last weekend with my Sister and we went for a beautiful early morning walk.

She lives in the most amazing neighborhood full of old homes and this imposing, yet beautiful church.

 

I would love to go through these homes, I bet most of them have fabulous woodwork.

You have to love these old wrought iron fences. I told my Sister they were probably worth a pretty penny but I don't think she believed me! She needs to start junking more. Then she'd see!

Love the red door on this one. I think it really brightens up a house. Like lipstick!

This homes lawn and landscaping were pristine and very orderly. There were two young kids in the downstairs and I wondered if they saw me taking a picture and if they thought I was a crazy lady!

This was one of my favorites. I can imagine it has a spectacular staircase!

How magical to see these old swings along the sidewalks. If you live in the city and don't have a yard, I guess you have to improvise! There were also several basketball hoops right off the street. Fun!

This is my favorite! It's a bed and breakfast. I Googled it to see the inside and it is very nice, but not decorated to my taste, a little too Victorian. The backyard gardens were very pretty.

Soon after we headed up the street to grab a coffee for my Sis and a hot chocolate for me along with a breakfast sandwich and a monkey muffin. We had to gobble it down in order to meet my Mom and Aunt at my Sister's new house! She and her husband just bought their first home and we were going to help paint things up to my Sister's specifications. Not necessarily my BIL's. He didn't get much of a vote as he discovered when he came by after work to find we had painted one of the kitchen walls BRIGHT orange.
Needless to say he was horrified. But it was only the first coat and was looking much better after it had a couple more coats added. I hope.

We got a lot of painting accomplished and they can't wait to move in after leasing for the last18 years!

Too Too Cute! Congratulations you two!

Be sure to check out All That Jazz tomorrow. We took a break from painting to head to Monticello Marketplace and it was full of fantastic stuff I'll be posting about!
