Saturday Morning Musings....

Good Morning girls....happy Saturday...on Monday of this week when we went to the museum we took advantage of the drive there ....we drove the back way through the neighborhoods instead of taking the direct route...I love to look at houses...I always have ever since I was little...we used to have FREE FUN when we were growing up taking drives with our parents ...it is one of my favorite memories ....

One of the reasons I love looking at other peoples houses...gardens...porches even drive ways is the fresh perspective it allows me..the spaces are not mine...I have no emotional investment beyond the pure pleasure it gives me to appreciate someone Else's talent...AND...it always encourages me to really  LOOK at my surroundings ...

This lovely house made me yell "STOP"....to my sweetie as we were driving by...many things grabbed at my heart as we came up on this gem of a house...first it reminded me of the house in the movie "MR. BLANDINGS BUILDS HIS DREAM HOUSE" the next thing was how crisp and clean the house looks...balanced by the trees...the picket fence...even the planters outside the fence at either side of the gate...VERY WELCOMING....

This house wowed me with it's pip of a RED DOOR...I also like it because it has a "STORYBOOK" style....I immediately saw it with flower box's under the windows...a brick walk way...with a white picket fence....I also see a rose arbor over the gate leading to that great door...

I was fascinated with these seeds we found at the museum...they were so smooth...they looked and felt just like wood...I would have loved to grab them up and take them home...but your not allowed to take anything off the Museum grounds...(oh darn) ...I had some kind of craft in mind for them...

Since I LOVE Williamsburg architecture...this brick house wowed me with it's expansive brick...the way it sat on it's lot it seemed to go on forever...I thought it was reminiscent of  "Carters Grove Plantation" in Williamsburg...

This little guy was so adorable as he visited our back yard ...he found a pecan to nibble on...

This little Christmas Cottage is at the top of the stairs in our "Cabin in the Attic"...it lights up...I just thought it would fun to take a picture of the little family standing at the front window...looking out....anticipating Christmas....

This house made want to walk up to it and peek inside....It just looked so inviting...

A Basket my sweetie found at the Hermitage in the garden that's bottom had rotted out....(would have loved to have taken IT home as well)....the best I could do was take this picture...

Well girls it's time....I should get to taking on the day....

These Crows seemed like they were following us as we drove Monday...I thought they were so FALLeriffic I had to snap a pic of them in this tree...you know what they say...about time and distance..." As the Crow fly's"....I hope you all have a great day today....It's going to be quiet around here...but that's okay...I'll spend some time trying to create something...thank you for stopping by...blessings and big hugs till next time...Karena
