Summer House or Greenhouse from Reclaimed Parts

I love this small outbuilding made from salvaged architectural parts. My geraniums would love living there for the winter. It's being constructed by this clever blogger.

Wild Turkey Spotting At The Cottage



I was loading the dishwasher just now and spotted a family of wild turkeys out for a walk in the tall grass toward the rear of my property. A mother, father, and two youngsters that have gotten really big since the last time I saw them. Pretty soon there will be lots of acorns down there for them to eat. They never fail to thrill me when I see them. Such big birds!

Your House As Seen By Others in the Real Estate Community

Your house as seen by you.

Your house as seen by a potential buyer.

Your house as seen by a lender.

Your house as seen by an appraiser.

Your house as seen by the Tax Assessor.

I just got this in the form of a forwarded message and had to share. Hilarious!
