Now let us crush something soft and watch it fountain blood. That is a girlish thing to want to do, yes?

We went under contract on a house this morning!
Yay! I'm selfishly glad you'll be 5 minutes from us! I love the stained-glass windows and solarium. And is that a magnolia in the backyard?

Yeah, it's a saucer magnolia. (I kind of don't like it. It is TOO BIG and makes the whole yard very shady. But we'll see.)

What a gorgeous house! I love the windows, and the solarium, and the living room, and everything. Bid~ma, flea.

(Also, the agent kept talking about the magnolia, and I internally got all southern snobby and was like, "this may be called a magnolia by you Ohioans, but I have lived in a house in Georgia with a magnolia, and this is not that!")

Definitely wait until Spring is over before making a decision.

Ooh, mr,. flea just messaged me that there's an architect/historic preservationist/carpenter who lives on the street who's a "bungalow fanatic" and did his officemate's kitchen. Eeeeeexcellent.

A big shady tree can make a huge difference in cooling bills over a summer. A new neighbor was convinced by an itinerant tree cutter that the two huge trees on the west side of their house were a threat, so she agreed to have 70% of her summer cooling system knocked down. She moved in in the spring. The formerly serene lawn was scorched by September.
