I live in Philadelphia. ;) My dad has a house up the Pocono Mountains though.
Where do you live?
awesome, I live just outside of Nazareth... which isn't too far from Allentown. :)
I'm in Philly every weekend during the fall for soccer, too.

Heres my house around the Holidays, its dark but only picture I could find on my laptop.
That is AWESOME!! It reminds me of what I pictured when I read James Herriot's novels about when he was a vet in the country. I think he was from Ireland. If not, it's still how I pictured it!Quote:

James Herriot was from Scotland but lived and worked in the Yorkshire Dales. The countryside is quite similar although I believe Ireland tends to be a little rockier whereas the Dales is mostly made of heath-y hills. The Dales is beautiful, I've been many times and I have been to the place that Herriot used to practice. Lancashire's countryside is similar but greener and not as harsh. :)Quote:

We have a TINY garden which I really hate, although we do get a lot of wildlife.

And I thought I'd include a pic of our living room, as the interior of our house is a lot nicer than the exterior!

Thanks, Sara. It is a Japanese Maple, and the night after I took that picture, the freezing temperatures killed all of that wonderful new growth. :( We took a beating for 5 straight nights and most of the smaller trees and bushes were affected. I hope everything will come back!Quote:

Miss Z, I think your home and garden are lovely!!! :) I especially LOVE all the Daffodils you have in containers and all over your yard! It is such a shame that the Daffodils can't bloom all year, isn't it? I miss mine, already! :p
I agree Miss Z you have a beautiful home, and i know how expensive it is to buy in the UK, and you have one very regal and expensive home there,thanks for sharing, really lovely inside too. :)
Hi Miss Z everything is so pretty, the house the yard the room. Very lovely yard I just want to sit down on a chair and admire the lovely flowers.
Aw, thanks. :) I suppose having a father who works for a seed and bulb company is helpful in brightening up our small garden. ;) And yes, Carole, you are right, it is expensive to get houses over here. That's £300,000 worth of house that I posted! :eek: I would never pay that for it in a million years! I guess I'll have to get a pretty little house in the states for half the price, I just love seeing how beautifully designed they are (that is, if I don't make my million and buy myself a mansion first ;) :p )
Oooo what one is it? I always like to make sure I get everybody's brochure so that I get the best selection.Quote:
