A Hint of Home

All the pretty blooms are going to an end and the trees are turning green now.

Pansies are looking great and will for a little while longer.This Bradford pear is slowly turning green.

We had friends that were down from MI, escaping the winter months. They were staying in NC about an hour from us. A friend had arranged for them to stay in a home that no one has lived in but with the slow economy wasn't selling. We drove up to take a peek and spend the day with them.

Here's the kitchen. Now, remember no one has really lived in it so it has not been decorated.

It has wonderful potential for the right buyers.

Someone loaned them some furniture for the 3 months they stayed in it, but other rooms were bare.

It has 8 fireplaces! Yes, five inside and three outside. Front staircase that leads up and one down to the basement. There are front and back staircases. One off the kitchen that goes up and one down for the basement.

It has a deck on all three levels.

This one is off the main level.

You can see a little of the upper level and the fireplace there.

It's on a lake and golf course. In this community they have a Gary Player and Tiger Wood golf course. They lend their name and helped design them.

Another house across the lake.

Well, we are on our way out the gate now. The nice guard had to clear us to get in.

This community is way up the mountain and we were headed back when I saw these two guys on horse back. I told hubby I had never seen someone go for pizza on horseback before.

He turned around so I could get a pic and these guys were happy to oblige. lol

Ao we went back to the little diner/gas station and got some pizza ourselves. It was yum-o!

While we were sitting there eating facing the back of the store I saw a bunch of Emus running around, along with chickens.

I had to go out and get a pic.! lol It was dusk by the time I went out and they had gone to their shelter and would not move. They were down for the night! lol What's been happening around your house?
