Arts and Crafts Style


This newly constructed home on Williamsburg Road is a beautiful example of Frank Lloyd Wright's style and reminiscent of the Arts and Crafts Movement. What a beauty!


Another great home with the Arts and Crafts Style, this home has been lovingly tended for many years. The landscaping softens the home in the way that Frank Lloyd Wright suggested this , "  No house should ever be on a hill or on anything. It should be of the hill. Belonging to it. Hill and house should live together each the happier for the other.

Southern Charm

Meadowlake is one of those neighborhoods that just feels good doesn't it? This charming home looks cool even on the hottest days.

Style all it's own.

We watched as, brick by brick, the house here on Meadowlake Road was cautiously dismantled and  then carefully re-built into this colorful, fresh, style of it's own.


Now we are all watching and waiting to see what they have in mind for the outside garden. We all want you to know that we love the look and can't wait to see what you have in mind, no matter how long it takes.

Flowers from a neighbor

Last year, our next door neighbors, Rick and Vangie, gave us a start from their siberian iris. I have heard that you are not supposed to say thank you when someone shares a plant with you, so, let me just say, " We LOVE this new addition to our garden and what a pretty color it is too."

Look who blew in with the rain.

This pretty little Baltimore Oriole must wonder where he is after such a turbulent ride. We haven't seen him in Brentwood before today, however, upon reading about B. O. 's they breed here in Spring and Summer. Thanks little guy. You really perked up our day today.

Rain by Shel Silverstein

Rain by Shel Silverstein



I opened my eyes
And looked up at the rain,
And it dripped in my head



And all that I hear as I lie in my bed
Is the slishity-slosh of the rain in my head.


 
I step very softly,
I walk very slow,
I can't do a handstand--
I might overflow,

So pardon the wild crazy thing I just said--

I'm just not the same since there's rain in my head.
