 Taken when the snow was covering the weeds that pass for a lawn a few weeks ago. I know, not much snow, but enough ;-)

The woods from Day 11 are off to the back left side of this shot, and the magnolia from Day 2 is right in front of the house past the front door. The bird feeders are all out back so you can't see them from here. The front of the house faces what we call a pipestem, which is a little offshoot of street coming off of a circle of pavement (the street itself resembles a mercury thermometer, with the circle being the bulb end). My driveway intersects the circle, so when you drive down the street you are headed for my garage by default ;-) Everyone else who connects with the street/circle actually faces that way, but we are sideways to the street. Kinf of an odd arrangement and not as private as I would like, but the neighbors are nice so it's worked out pretty well for the past 19 years.

Here's the view from the other front corner:

If I had to take benedryl all the time, I'd be sleeping beauty - lol! I take it as a sleep aid.

Love seeing your house - it's just cool seeing where everyone lives. Looks like there are a gazillion rooms.

You have a lovely Colonial House! I love your red brickwork and landscaping. We mainly have wood houses where I live so I miss seeing bricks!

I don't think your house is boring at all! It looks large and it's in a very nice setting! At least it's not all white and lame like mine! ;)
