Is This Storybook Heaven?

As if this cottage, which is tucked away in the Houston Heights, weren't cute enough, it has flowers to match...masses of them. If you are not from Houston, let me tell you: these flowers aren't supposed to grow in this zone, but here they are.


I wonder if the homeowners have problems with bunnies nibbling at their greens?


Have you ever seen kale so large? Forget the bunnies, one must wonder if the neighbors help themselves to a nibble or two.

So, I've got to say, Pinch me, for I think I've stepped into a fairytale!

  3. I forgot to say, that if you didn't tell us this was in Texas, I would have thought it was in Carmel California.

    Elizabeth: It is red Chard! Not a vegetable I see often in Houston.

  6. What a BEAUTIFUL home! Obviously the "freeze" down here didn't hurt them...wonder what their secret was? Because we lost almost all my beautiful blooms! :(

    Have a beautiful week! xo..deb
