English Country Cottage

 I love the look of cozy English cottages. And this one is surely NOT. It is only a few blocks away. But it feels like a cottage to me, maybe because of all the pretty wildflowers in front. I was enchanted.







🌸🧚 An English cottage is never truly quiet—flower boxes whisper with blooms, gnomes nod in herb beds, and frogs lounge like poets in the shade of lace curtains.

It’s where ivy hugs the walls, teacups sing in cabinets, and every breeze carries tales of roses, rain, and quiet joy.

Beautiful home 🏑 and the flowers πŸ’ are gorgeous, Ginny.
In response to your question on my blog, I have no idea what kind of flowers those red beauties in my photos were, but I had to take photos of them. Hopefully another commenter will know.

What an appealing walk to their front door. I love all the flowers and that porch looks so inviting.

I love it! It makes me think the owners are friendly and unpretentious.

Hanging

 The hardware store has hanging baskets outside. And they go all the way to the ground! Wish I had looked at the price. 🌿 Suspended in sum...
