  1. Oh goodness, what beautiful homes! I romantically imagine how special it would be to live in one of them, and then I realize the UPKEEP and I know that the special person to live in them is not me. I can’t tell you the admiration that I have for folks like you who are painstakingly preserving these glorious homes and the sense of wonder and history they bring to us “mere mortals.” You truly are somewhat super-human. Thank you for sharing these beautiful ladies and your own personal journey in yours.

  2. Oh the Victorians! As well as their porches! So beautiful. When I was young, I dreamed of owning one in a street with many lined up as you mentioned, within walking distance to a quaint town that would have all my needs met lol. Ahhh…welll was fun to dream lol.

  3. Beautiful, and delightful porches. The homes too, beautiful and delightful. ..Thank you, for brightening my morning.
