When I got back to my house I was struck by how NOT like my Cove house it is. Or isn't. And I love this one every bit as much. The reasons people like a given property are as different and numerous as the people who live in them. Todd and I enjoyed the birds at our other home and have worked to attract birds to this house. I love looking out the window while doing dishes to see them at the feeder or bathing in the sun.
Just down the street from the Fernley house was a ranch property with a large gated entrance. Atop the gate on either side of the drive was this:
Not exactly my cup of tea but fun to see. Fun to wonder about the people who put it up and what they were thinking when they chose do to do so. So, dear readers, comment! comment! Tell me what about your home brings you joy!

Solitude, beauty, home as a vacation destination to name a few things about our home that bring me joy. The local community and the wonderful friends we've made here. The kids being raised where they can run, play and explore. A mini farm in the woods, as well as our own lodge on the mountain. Sitting on the deck on warm summer evenings, listening to the creek, watching the chickens and ducks in the yard, and the dear grazing over on the hillside. Cuddling up by the fire on cold fall and winter nights. All of these things about our house bring me joy.
ReplyDeleteOur house is not the same house we moved into 8 1/2 years ago. The renovations we have done has made it our home - suited just for us! The location, however, is what attracted us and now it seems we have it all! It couldn't get any better than this - except maybe if we had a surprise visit from Jerianne and Todd! - Sheila, Mark, Andrew and Ariel
