Fun Find

While taking the scenic route home the other day, I happened upon this entry gate. The land is beautiful this time of year - very green and lush and inviting. Apparently the size of the place isn't quite satisfactory to the owners. If they'd rather not be so sad about their lack of a "real" ranch, they can trade me places. I'd love to live here!

Another of the fabulous homes that have been here in Walla Walla for over a century. That may not seem old to some of you - those whose countries have been thriving since the years were only triple digits - but for us here in the Pacific Northwest of the United States, a hundred years is a long time! We're just little infants, but we enjoy our relatively recent history as well as you enjoy your ancient histories. For more information on this series, see yesterday's post.

I hope to collect more photos of the beautiful homes around the WWV and post them here for you enjoyment. To begin with, we have this fantastically regal residence on Palouse Street, if I remember right. Isn't it gorgeous? And yes, real people still live here. It's not a museum, bed and breakfast, or law office. There are many houses of this sort around Walla Walla, built by affluent newcomers (mostly) during the 19th century.
