The Victorian House

 A clear morning, 43 degrees with no wind and sunny 

once the sun rose at 7:19.

Walked 5.7 miles

Found a Dime

Walked up and down the streets in town and 

once around the ball park loop,

then up behind the house where we lived in town.

Back to the main road and walked towards home a ways before

turning around and going back to town.

Saw both Lisa and Rebecca out walking but both too far away to say hi.

 I waved to the police officer in the car shooting radar near town as I walked by.

Didn't see anyone get pulled over.

You may remember me saying the big old Victorian house

in town was getting new white siding.

Well it is finally done and I think it looks terrific.

It has been painted a few times since the 9 years we have lived up here.

Every time it is sold it gets a new color.

First it was green - couldn't find a picture.

Then it was this bright blue color.

The next owners painted it this color.

Now here it is finished with the new white siding on it.

The bottom siding is horizontal and the top half has vertical.

I've been inside the house and it is a great old house.

(except for the kitchen and bathroom - but I'm sure they

have been renovated by now)

My favorite part of the house is the attic.

It is one huge big finished room.

Another good day for getting a load of wash done and dried outside.

Then set about making some English Muffin Loaves.

Finished up some house chores and then walked

up to the cabin along the path to see how Ken was doing

on the digging.

Things are progressing and I was right there are rocks involved.

Not going to take a picture until it is all done.

This afternoon I was outside for a while just because it was

a nice sunny day.  Walked around and just enjoyed being outside.

Then there was time for reading and knitting before supper.

I finished knitting the third scarf.

Just have to add the fringe.

It's been a good day.

Thanks for popping in.

Happy Thursday🤗

Vee - Yes the town has a website but don't know if they accept photos - never looked into it.

Ginny -  Don't know why all the houses are for sale.  I suppose some don't like the winters, others looking for work, and any other reasons people move.  Houses here  usually take a while to sell.  No, there is no new housing developments around town.  Don't think anyone wants to invest in something like that here. 

Ann - Yes, the cabin is on our property (Happy Trails) and is about 1/4 mile from our house.  Ken and I built it some years ago and now David and Liz live there.

Kim - Yes, you are the one with the blog that gave me the great idea about having a spice drawer!!! Thanks for letting me know it was you. 😀

Sandi - I'm reading a Michael Donnelly book, The Black Echo, the first Harry Bosch novel.
