7 Things I LOVE About Our Portland Neighborhood

Here are 7 MORE things I love about our new neighborhood (and the list could go on and on....):

1. The house (with its many flowering trees) two blocks away

2. This sweet (and slightly fancy-pants) grey house (with lime green trim!) in Alameda

3. The many daffodils in bloom, that make the sidewalks so warm and sunny!

4. The "Old Portland" style Bungalows and Four-Squares that are EVERYWHERE

5. Well, this house has a little windmill and aqua watering pots on the porch. I don't need any more reasons, do I?

6. This simple red house with the striking blue chairs and door, around the corner. This house isn't all that "Portland" though!

7. This cute little bungalow that is directly across the street from our house. The people seem nice too! Now that spring is finally here, we will probably meet them on the way to get groceries!

Be honest now: is it obvious that living here is making me a little itchy to buy a house? We go on very long walks, and it is ridiculous how CHARMING some of these houses and gardens are! I have to be patient though - now is not the time for us. You need money to buy, right?
