| The Cherry Tree is in full bloom today...I had to catch it while I could. I think it is time to take down the Christmas lights, huh? We'll get to it when we paint the house this summer....I am still thinking about the color. I am now thinking Camel with white trim and gloss black doors. Then some black and white stripe awnings on the windows. Anyone want to weigh in? |
It's nice when a husband calls and invites one to lunch on the spur of the moment....just because it is a nice day, and the sun is shining. There is something to be said for blue skies and the scent of Freesia in the air.

| The tree is just exploding! And the bees are buzzing. |
An outdoor cafe named Magpie's... our first time there, and it was wonderful. Lemon Chicken Salad with Spring Greens, Kalamata Olives, and shaved Fennel......and a Carrot Cake Cookie for dessert....oh my....delicious...the Earth is waking up.
Ahhh! The sun is here!
Happy Weekend!

I love the color scheme you are thinking of using. I have seen that done on other homes and I LOVE IT! The crisp white against the Camel is to die for - and I have ALWAYS loved a touch of black with it.... I dress in those colors - and have always wanted a house painted on the outside in those colors. So pretty! My vote is YES!
The weather has been gorgeous here in San Francisco as well. What a treat after all the gloomy rain.
Your cherry tree is so beautiful Katie. Magpie's sounds yummy too.
Have a great weekend.
Cheers,
Claudia
Ummm....love your posts. Such respect for your style. But seriously Xmas lights decemeber to June?
I know Anon! My only defense is that we take all of the lights down the week after New Years, except for the ones on the upper roof. I worry too much that Tim might take a fall. I promise, we do not turn them on. ;)
Carrot Cake and Freesias.
Bliss.
I love the look of the front of your house already...minus the lights...funny-funny! The idea of the awnings sounds wonderful!
You must try Magpie for dinner. Ate there last Monday and had a wonderful meal. Loved the write up in the Bee!
Katie,
I love your home!
The party you did for your friend looked so yummy and the table so beautifully set!
