Blue House, Blue Garden

 This is my dream house, at least for the moment. Built a century ago, it still shows its Arts & Crafts architectural roots. As a child growing up in apartments, an architectural feature like an arbor (or even a garden) seemed like something found only in storybooks. Right now, at the height of spring, the irises and wisteria harmonize, all singing notes in shades of blue. Later this summer, other colors will join the chorus.
