Old House Curb Appeal
There is a small window of opportunity during the year when I can take Sushi on long walks.
She can’t handle cold – she’s short haired and doesn’t have a thick fur coat to keep her snug. I bundle her up in knit sweaters (she’s partial to her hooded sock monkey sweater) and off we go until she’s shivering uncontrollably and we end up heading home.
She can’t handle heat – Boston Terriers have short snouts which makes it hard for them to breathe when things heat up. She’s often panting and huffing and puffing after only a few minutes of being outside on a hot summer day.
So on a beautiful spring day, I jump at the chance to grab my walking buddy and head outside for long walks around my neighborhood.
With buds just starting to bloom, we can really appreciate the houses that aren’t hidden behind an abundance of leaves.
Grab your sneakers and let’s go …
I’ll be enjoying the next few months with my walking buddy.
Once summer hits, I’ll be walking these streets alone as she lounges at home in air conditioned comfort.

Hi Kelly,
I am like you. I love looking at houses and landscaping whether on walks or as we drive. <3
I’ve been known to snap pics at red lights Karin!
Oh my. I would take ANY of those houses to live in, but I think the very last gray house with the porches is my fave. All are so pretty.
I wish I had a big porch – I’d decorate the bejeebers out of it!
Thanks for that walk what a great time. It is so relaxing to get out and walk with a friend and look at what is happening in everyone’s yards.
It motivates me to get off the couch Marlene!
Oh Wow! Kelly! Beautiful homes! Where do you live?
Sushi? What an awesomely imaginative name!
Lovely houses, I was partial to the simple(-ish) first one, perhaps because of the rounded boxwoods and the sunlit exterior. 🙂
Sushi says thanks and she likes the first house too – she loves leaving her mark whenever we pass by!
Old neighborhoods like this are the best! I wanted to live downtown or in an early 1900s neighborhood, but my husband got his way about living in the country 🙂 I love walking through my town’s older neighborhoods and giving myself a tour.
Now your hubby owes you for the rest of his life!
Wow Kelly! Beautiful homes! So nice….
Thanks Merryjo!
