Cottage #1

Becky, Jan, Gay, Annette and I attended the vintage cottage tour in Alexandria.  It was a very fun tour-not quite as good as last year, for me anyway, but very fun.  This is the only house we toured on LeHommeDeu.  Here's a shot of the beautiful hostas, pond, landscaping in front of the cottage.  This was a 100 year + home.  It originally belonged to a Dr. Granger and he was sponsored on his way to America by his cousin the founder of Annheiser Busch. No idea how you spell that.
They like their hosta's here.  The artwork in this home was was a lot of fun- lots of beautiful florals and neat color combinations.  A fun artist's studio above the garage.  Pictures are not allowed inside so you will just have to be happy with the exterior shots.
Fieldstones, and old bench and hostas, what else could you ask for in a border?
