Swimming in Texas
It's June and on the cusp of summer, yet the rainy weather is hiding the blazing sun for now in these parts. We are getting heavy rain for at least the next week and it's both a blessing and a curse. There are floods galore throughout most of Texas (poor Houston) but at least we won't be plagued with the drought that we've been suffering from for the past few years. All of the (fake) Texas lakes should be full in time for summer boating and swimming fun, if you're into that sort of thing (swimming in lakes, I mean). I know it's wishful thinking for me to hope that the rain washes all of the mosquitoes away but a girl can dream, can't she?
Speaking of dreams, this cute home built in 1915 is ready for the summertime, what with its greenery abound and crisp whites punctuated by splashes of bright colour. There are a few cushy rocking chairs on the front porch for those of you who like to keep an eye on the neighborhood and a dining table set for a dinner party in the backyard. I'm still on the look out for little gems like this to share with y'all - now move on down to Texas and bring your boat!

"Rain washes all of the mosquitoes away," please make this happen here where we are. Wow, they look spacious and comfy. I am wiping away my drool now. :)
ReplyDeleteI like the house, but not swimming in lakes. I asked K how she felt about retiring in Texas--I like the taxes and the more modern electrical grid. She's really opposed to the heat and the bugs. But what could go wrong if I bought a trailer home in north Texas???
ReplyDeleteThe house looks small from the outside, but whoa....look at that living room! <3
ReplyDeleteI should be spending 4-8 weeks of the next couple years in Arlington, TX. Does that count?
ReplyDeleteI've often wondered about those islands on wheels in kitchens - they always seem to me like a recipe for dropping whatever you're chopping up off all sides... (maybe I'm just clumsy).
ReplyDeletethis house is adorbs. and i absolutely, positively want to move to waco. so i can be joanna gaines' bff. i know, i know, wishful thinking on my part.
ReplyDeleteWe just ended our bout with rain for like every day in May. Glad it's over but wow, summer just showed up! What a beautiful home! We're starting to look at homes!
ReplyDeleteOmg I love that home!!! French doors? Yes, please!!
ReplyDeleteah, the rain. it's the same here. four people died in the last few days. the Seine is closed for picnics. not that anyone would want to do that in the rain. not anymore at least. because we did that just a couple of weeks, now that I think of it...
ReplyDeleteThat house is adorable. I'd sit out on the front porch all the live long day...until it got too hot or mosquito-y.
ReplyDeleteThat house is really pretty, but I'm sorry to say that I think the water attracts mosquitoes. :)
ReplyDeleteOh my, I do love this house . . .
