~I bought myself an early birthday present~
I knew it was the one, because there are half moons cut into the blue shutters. and there are flowers.
And a Koi pond in the back yard
and a lovely shed which will be a palatial dog house for my big floppy dog
and Ivy grows lushly, on one side of the house~

and the downstairs is filled with soft sunlight streaming through the plentiful french doors. The living room, has a beautiful mantle, with built in glass shelves and the palest green painted walls.
My life will unfold here. I will live inside these walls, and serve~ lingering over glasses of wine~, dinners for friends, and on lonely cold nights I will curl up with the big floppy dog, and my copious books. The scent of freesia shower gel, will waft in the air. Birthday parties for copious nieces and nephews will echo with joyous laughter, in the backyard. Wildflowers will tumble out of window boxes. Smoky Barbeques will be held from Spring to Autumn, Raspberry Ice teas and pinklemonades will be served icy cold from morning til midnight. I will rake leaves, and breathe in the crisp air and look up and see my very own house, looking back at me.
I will paint my bedroom, a pale pale lilac, and build a roaring fire in my bedroom fireplace. Then I will cheat, and open my windows. just a little bit, to let in the cold winter air. I will sleep on lavender scented sheets, beneath two feather duvets. Especially in summer, because the air conditioning will be kept at a perfectly chilly 68 degrees. The smiths and The Cure and Cold play and Sarah Brightman, and Lloyd Cole, and Tori Amos, will welcome all who enter with an aria of song channeled through surround sound speakers.
and I will cry and I will laugh.
and I will love.and I will live, inside these walls~
and you are all welcome to come and sit on the back deck and watch the sunset drip behind the trees, as night falls softly, and all the tangled up tiny stars light up the night sky in deepening twinkling shades of blue...
a blue, like the shutters. on my blue moon, happy birthday present to my self.
P.S. The house is number 318. which is my birthday, backwards ( 8/13)! so, of course, I knew right away, that it was all, just so ~ meant to be~ don't you agree?
