shapes.  Once they are done blooming, they’ll dig out the bulbs for next year and plant the annual beds.</p>http://52locations.com/post/102721913http://52locations.com/post/102721913Sun, 03 May 2009

my pictures are taken while shopping.  I’ve been house hunting and prowling the stores for things I may need (or just plain want) is part of that.  I’ve always loved hardware stores.  Even though I wouldn’t have a reason to have all the different tools, just the possibilities they afford, make them fascinating to me.  That said, I do own a cordless drill (not as expensive as those) and I think they’re a handy thing to have.</p>http://52locations.com/post/93157621http://52locations.com/post/93157621Sun, 05 Apr 2009 22:20:00 +0800week 13user:hikergirl<img

upstairs and this gorgeous big, old bathroom that didn’t need a thing done to it.  There was another sunny, smaller room that the owner had set up as an office.  If only old houses didn’t have problems.</p> <p>Edit:  If you’re interested in knowing, the house was listed for $109,900.</p>http://52locations.com/post/87081554http://52locations.com/post/87081554Tue, 17 Mar 2009 06:56:00

I plan on buying something this summer and I wanted to get an idea of what was in Mansfield.</p> <p>This is a 1920 house and it was gorgeous inside.  It had been fixed up and had all of the fantastic period touches, cool rooms and had a lot of space.  I doubt I’d buy it as I don’t want all of the potential headaches that go with owning an old house.</p> <p>As you can see, it was sunny (and warm!)
