Yet another pic, of that pretty building down street, with the hanging flower pots. :-)

This one is around the corner, from us... These people took an ordinary home, and made additions and really fixed it up.... In a simple-but-lovely way...

Love the way this lady has front porch, so-pretty-for-summer. I know it's a lady, because one day when we drove past, she was out watering her flowers. :-) I soooooo wish I'd see her out there again! And I'd stop and tell her how pretty, pretty, pretty her house looks.

And another shot of it, *just-because-I-can.* ,-)

One of the old, grand houses, on North Broadway. Majestic and meticulously taken care of. Yes...
But I think I like the regular sized homes.... just as well. :-)))))

"Long ago--say thirty-five years ago--a little girl used to wake on Sunday morning feeling that a whole life of happiness lay before her in the day."
~~From an excerpt from "Three Houses," Angela Thirkell's 1931 memoir, recalling the pleasures of a Sunday morning in summer.

i would snap myself silly if i had access to these wonderful old homes, they are all beautiful. i like the smaller ones better than the bigger for me. unless i could have a maid. those planters are awesome. is that an old courthouse in the first shot? thanks for sharing, i love old houses.
I am so in love with all of these gorgeous homes! I love older architecture! Your two photos of the same house, show how welcoming and beautiful summer can be when you have a lovely front porch filled with colorful flowers. I hope that you get see that lucky lady and tell her how lovely her home is :) I've really enjoyed these photos.
Have a lovely Sunday,

That bungalow is my cup of tea. It looks so cozy, just the kind of home I would love to live in.

Love all the beautiful homes and flowers. You must live in a lovely area!
Peace,

Though the big house is elegant I LOVE all the bungalow houses. I can picture myself living in any one of them : )
Such a picturesque town! Thank you for taking us on a tour!
One of my favorite things about blogging is getting a glimpse into other areas of the country and world. Your area looks absolutely beautiful!! I really hope you do see that lady again. I know she would love to hear you tell her how pretty her house is.
Oops, one more thing . . .
Do you mind if I hop into that pool in your header? It looks so refreshing in the midst of this heatwave :).
You live in the most lovely town...wonderful to see the building downtown decorated in buntings and looking so fine for the 4th. I love that you enjoy small homes as well as the grand mansions. They all have their good points. I'd hate to clean that big house, though I would love to sit on the balcony. It looks so beautiful!
What a lovely town you live in, and folks taking pride in their community!!
I love all the houses, big and small. A house tells a lot about the people who live there or, at least, it is fun to make up stories about them based on their homes.
I wanted to thank you for stopping by today. I wrote that piece and thought of you. No one else seems to care about those posts but I enjoy writing them . Knowing you may find them gives me a purpose.
I agree with what you said about God and people not turning to him.
There is so much to contemplate. I must try to get more into the blog, thanks to you.
