Springtime. The time of year when a not-so-young girl's thoughts turn to .... well, more like return to dreams of possible gardens and so on. North Carolina is just spectacularly beautiful this time of year. Dogwoods, redbuds, flowering crabapples, wisterias, cherry trees, and so on. It's really breathtakingly lovely. Still a little cool for reading outdoors most days, but we're getting there!
In other news, we are continuing to look into moving closer to the city. Ed and I seem to have settled on two areas we like -- quiet neighborhoods with plenty of walkable streets -- and so it's a matter of corralling funds and finding the right house. Yesterday we looked at a couple, and one stood out as having some really lovely qualities...
Beautiful landscaping in the front and back yards!
(0.6 acres, which is smaller than the last place we looked at, but still very nice)
But wait! There's more!
You also get this...
swimming pool! A real, in-ground pool. Heated and all. Finny says he needs a pool, and he promises he'll take care of it! (Finny has picked up a thing or two from Travis and Katie)
Finny and Ed aren't the only ones building castles in the air, though. This room sings "library," don't you think? It's a finished basement, with a door out onto the back patio.
Of course, I know I'm being silly, as this one would be even more of a stretch than the last, but it's fun to dream, anyway! And a spring day out with my sweetie is a fine thing, even if nothing concrete is accomplished!

Fun! A good way to truly 'spring clean.' I'm jealous of all the green (freak snowstorm expected today in Wisconsin).
Yes. Wandering around other people's houses & yards is a good way to get inspired to clean and garden,anyway! Sorry about the snowstorm.
