Since we're all about "The Homecoming" at the moment ("la rentree") thought I'd start my first serious blog moment back with a few little colorful houses. C-o-l-o-r-f-u-l H-o-u-s-e-s. If you were to ask me how to describe myself in two words, those two might just be the right ones. It comes pretty close to where I live. In every sense of the word. And these pictures ARE my home, my 'hood, which is looking pretty good to me after a summer of passing in and out of the looking glass it seemed, in every possible way.
Of course when you're talking about color at home in this part of the world you are absolutely
talking about Craftsman houses.
And the dialogue between home and surroundings.
Plantings with powerful forms
and vivid colorings.
Of course, being gray does not mean that you are not colorful.
Especially when you are rocking the pumpkin yellow trim.
