Thursday Thirteen: Edition #3

2. Hello? White picket fence. I think that’s the sound of my dreams coming true.

3. I named it Ever After. Isn’t that the perfect name? See, because I’m a romance writer, and this is a fairy tale house, and it’s me and my husband’s first house together, and we’re going to live happily ever after. Awwwwwww.

4. There is Echinacia growing in the back yard. How cool is that?

5. Even though we’ve lived here for 2 years, I still wonder how we got so lucky.

6. We’re bumped right up against the American Tobacco Trail, which you can actually ride all the way to downtown Durham, were Romeo and I both work. (That’s not to say we’ve done our part to save the environment, and actually, you know, ridden our bikes to work more than… ever. But still. it’s nice to know the option is there.)

7. Gardenias:
8. Garden tub:
9. Newly-planted-for-spring flower box:
10. The fact that I am now the social hub of my family because I have the awesomest party space. Rock on.

11. There are lots of green accents all through my house: kitchen counters, fireplace tile, bathroom tile, outside paint– and I love green.

12. Um, hello, I have the cutest back yard in the entire world:
13. Guess where I am right now? That’s right, be jealous: I am outside on my deck with the tiki torches lit, typing by the light of the moon.
