Welcome to the first in a month of smatterings about our new home. Today I thought I would start with our neighborhood, which I have to say I am head over heels in love with. All of the houses surrounding us are cute-distinct-older-colorful and not at all the beige-stucco-boxes we are used to.
We took a walk yesterday and I shot a few pictures of the things surrounding us that make me happy. It completely embarrassed my husband that I was snapping away in our neighbors front lawns, and he surely would not let me sneak in a shot of the drawbridge. Seriously, we have a working drawbridge in our neighborhood- how fun is that? I also left alone the sleeping dog by the beautiful red door, although it would have been a great picture of this place.
One of the shots is of our new home, can you guess which one? Take a stab at it in the comment section and win a pair (that is 2) side chair slipcovers from Pottery Barn in red to spruce up your current home whether it’s a stucco box or not.

is it the sprite tree? Citrus trees are a funny thing — they produce SO MUCH! . . . If it IS yours, you will be giving a TON of fruit out to people. If it’s the neighbor’s, you might be surprised with grocery bags filled with them.
Fruit through a white picket fence!
