Leaving a mess

Inevitably it always happens, every single year.  The internets have me convinced that it’s fall - look at all the pretty leaves / people wearing boots / sweaters - and then the reality of Texas weather takes me back a step.  I may or may not be lobster-red and sporting the World’s Most Awkward Farmer’s Tan from the three hour trail ride we went on on Sunday afternoon.  Foolish is the girl (that would be me) who eschewed sunscreen because it’s late September.  Still, it was mighty brilliant to get out and about this weekend.  Sunburn aside, we quite enjoyed ourselves with the other girls on the trail.  Ryon also (secretly) enjoyed taking a massive dump while he crossed over the pedestrian bridge over the lake.  He has an uncanny knack of waiting until we're directly on the path and fully off the grass before he lets loose.  There’s no way of skirting that mess (or the issue) and I’m sure all the bikers and joggers are cursing our names this week.

I'd feel guilty if the last thing I left you with a mental image of was Ryon's mess on the bridge, so I'm making it up by sharing this utterly adorable house of the week with you.  It was built in the 50's (no surprise there) and has the most impressive mid-century modern style that I've seen in the Dallas real estate market yet.  Does anyone want to just snatch up that kitchen sink and run away with it like I do?

  2. So digging this house, Rooth. I think it's the first time I've seen a kitchen sink like this...awesome! And LOL on Ryon. He's a handful:D

  3. Oh Ryon!
    And that house is spectacular. I love the big glass windows facing the lawn. It would be perfect for adults to still do stuff around the house and yet be able to keep an eye out for little ones playing on the lawn.

  4. oh dear, I do wear my factor 15 moisturiser year round so that helps! I will now think of you and Ryon every time I come across a 'pile' haha

  5. Between us we have both ends covered--I'm always more likely to burn in April. Hope it's not too bad!
    Kids always find ways to embarrass their parents. Ryon went with an oldie but a goodie. :)
    I need to check out the house on a big screen, my iPod isn't doing it justice. I like the high windows (from the anti-zombie perspective), but sure about the other side.

  6. Ha! You go Ryon. ;) Fall always surprises me here too. Sometime around October, I'll think, well, that was a crappy autumn, fully forgetting that our trees don't get really pretty until early November.

    Oh, this house. Yes to the vaulted ceiling. (although I might need to paint it white) Yes to the sink. Yes to those windows and all the clean lines. :)

  7. OMG Ryon is too funny! I'm curious, do you have to clean up after him when he does that or is it okay to just leave it there?

    What I would give for Texas weather right now. I seriously think I was meant to be living in a place where it's warm all or most of the year.

  8. Always wear sunscreen!! :) And I am laughing at Ryon's IDGAF attitude about doing his business in public. What a character. xo

  9. i love this place! i think it's just the right size for us. and while i'd probably paint those amazing ceilings white i think i could pretty much stop there. love love love.

    oh ryon! you don't have to do a whole horse poop scoop thing do you? the one thing about having a dog is you carry around poop way more than you ever would have imagined. and you would need a giant bag. oh boy, hehe.

  12. I'm the one who can get sunburned in the middle of winter...I swear it. Today has been the very first day of fall weather here, and it's amazing!

  14. No poopy back big enough for that job!!!! And yes, a beautiful house. I do love that sink. But I just like the openness!

  15. Wait!! You don't have to clean it up?!? I think people clean up after their horses in Boston, there aren't that many though.

    I do like that house but I'm not a fan of the two-toned cabinets, I'm about ready to take that away from a client very nicely. :)
