Pure Charm

Isn't the walkway up to this week's front door enchanting?  They even have a sculpture from a local artist, who we have had the pleasure of meeting and will be posting about him soon. This wonderful garden is seen on Orman Ave.

Poppy Love

This field of poppies can be seen on Michigan Ave. Right behind Central High School

Wouldn't you love to have a path of poppies to walk through to get to your front door too? What you see here was just the tip of the ice-burg. This home's front and side yards were covered with them. Its as if the house is smiling at you as you pass by!

House of Earl...(and Virginia)

Aside from the neat columns on the front porch and gorgeous rose bush, what else makes the front door of this house notable? The plant sale that is going on beyond it! If you saw yesterday's post about the wondrous greenhouses, then this is the house we were talking about. Earl and Virginia hold the plant sale each weekend at their house on Washington St. Usually its posted on Craig's List, but if you prefer do a drive by, take Abriendo all the way to its end, and that's Washington St. Look for the signs, you can't miss it. Plants range from $3 - $5.

Front Door Friday

Or "Front Entrance Friday" for this particular home/building. The cute little gargoyles are actually above the front door and are far more interesting. Wouldn't you love them perching on your roof?
I also love the family's monogram designed into the building and the gothic style weather mane topping if all off of this downtown building/family residence in our river walk district.

We wish everyone a happy Memorial Day weekend, the official start of summer. And thanks to those of you who inquired where we were this week and being patient with the erratic posts. We promise
the weeks to come will be smoother as the 150 screen printing t shirt project, bank website, furniture overhaul and picnic planning for 200 are all done!  Woo Hoo! Summer has begun for us here at PPAD, and we have a lot of fun and interesting pictures already in the line up that we are excited to show you. We also will be traveling around the state with new Colorado transplants, folks staying with us from China,  Florida and Texas along with some of our own family jaunts, so, stick around with us this summer, its going to be HOT!
