Look at the size of these leaves I picked up. They are huge and will look wonderful on the Thanksgiving Table. I love to pick up leaves and press them, oftentimes forgetting them in a book...do you pick up and save leaves or am I just strange??
This Second Empire Victorian looks absolutely modest compared to some of the huge Georgian and Federal Colonials.
Yellow seems to be a popular color on Brattle Street
Perfect symmetry...Georgian Colonial
This home dates from the late 1600s...can you imagine?
Now you know why these are known as "Burning Bushes"
Do you like to shuffle through leaves like this? I just can't resist, no matter my age.
That's the end of the tour; it was a really fun day despite the large blister.
Later,

ReplyDeleteI love your house tour, I am always fascinated by these types of houses! Thanks for bringing us along!
that was a wonderful tour! i just love looking at these houses. i cannot imagine cleaning one, however, but it is fun to pretend it stays clean while i relax and have tea by the fire. (after i play in the leaves, bathe, and get all snuggly in my robe) the 1600's one looks pretty crooked on my computer, so i was glad to learn her age. truly, they don't make 'em like they used to! jkj
ReplyDeleteWhat beautiful houses! I'd like the last yellow one in your post...but only if I had someone to clean it!
ReplyDeleteWhat a beautiful place to visit or if you're lucky live there.
ReplyDeleteI love old homes, large or small they just have so much character. Thanks for sharing.
ReplyDeleteWOW,I have never seen leaves that huge in my entire life...simply amazing! Such wonderful houses...I love them all :o)

I LOVE this tour. It has been a few years since we were in this area and to be there in the Fall, well...how glorious!
ReplyDeleteThank you for taking us along. Now if I could only do it in person...would you be my tour guide?? : )
Love,

Those leaves are HUGE! I would decorate with them too if I could find any that large! Beautiful homes too on this tour.
ReplyDeleteWhere did you park your car,Harvard Yard? Seriously, beautiful pictures. Thanks for sharing. Did you see the homes with the windows that turned purple?
ReplyDeleteWe could dream all day......how fun!
ReplyDeleteLove those huge leaves! They would look good framed. Wonderful house tour love the symmetry of those Georgian Colonials. I have a few of those burning bushes and they're really starting to turn deep red now!
