Half An Hour Away....Near A River

I don't post about too many real estate offerings on the blog because our area is rich with lovely properties for sale and this blog could easily become real estate central and free advertising for realtors.  (Not that I wouldn't like to do free advertising, but there's only so much time in the day.)

However, this house that came on the market 5 days ago is too good not to share.  Check it out.

Beautiful wood floors, large windows, transoms, updated kitchen and baths, nice paint colors....I wouldn't change one thing. Built in 1856; 4 bedrooms, 3 baths, 4.5 acres.

Where's that million dollars when you need it?

lucky!

When we moved into our house 6 years ago, it was July.  The dogwood tree in the front yard was well past it's bloom time, of course, and new blossoms wouldn't be out for another 9 months.  Oh how I love a surprise -- would it don white or pink blooms?  I found out the following April that this tree was of the pink variety.  However, I was a bit dismayed by the fact there were only *4* flowers on the whole tree!   Count 'em -- 4!

I am ever so happy to report that since the first blooming, I can no longer count the flowers, as I get lost in a sea of pink.  

My dogwood is gorgeous!  Springtime in Virginia is fabulous.  I am so lucky.
