I Spy...In My Neighborhood

Today I'm linking up to Little Miss Momma to participate in a new series she started: "I Spy". This week's theme is "Neighborhood". Before I move on with the project/game let me first say that I absolutely adore Ashley aka Little Miss Momma. She is a sweet gal and I think she would be a real blast to hang out with. I would also like to say that I'm 110% positive that her little guy, Baby W, would instantly have me wrapped around his little finger! :)

I love that Ashley came up with this new series and I hope she continues it. Pacen and I used to play "I Spy" all the time. We'd sit in the park and play "I Spy" instead of playing on the equipment. Sometimes we still play...usually when we're driving somewhere. It's rather hard where we're from cause there isn't a lot to spy along the highway. A lot of prairie. :) There is a lot of "I spy something black." "It's a cow!" "I spy something yellow." "It's the line on the highway!" Haha!

Okay, so moving on. I SPY...

This 1950s circa Chevy (?). It sits in this spot year-round. Sad.

An abandoned house (one of 4 on my block). Sad too.

My flower bed...damaged cause I accidentally ran over it. Sad again. On a brighter note...check out all the tulips coming up!! Yahoo!!

Today I noticed that a lot of the houses in my neighborhood have cool porch columns. I like the brick columns.

Pacen walking to his buddy's house.

Some of my neighbors already have blooming flowers. I wish I did.

Another abandoned house on my block. Victorian style and spooky. Love it!
(Note: I love playing around with the different effects in Picnik, hence all the different photo finishes.) :)

What a beautiful car to leave just sitting there - what a shame :(
Your neighborhood looks very cool based on the house column styles!

I am in love with abandoned houses. Great pics! I am also in love with her blog so I did a post of this on mine.

How cool is your neighborhood! Those houses have so much character and it looks like such a fun place to raise a kiddo. And thank you for all the super sweet things you said about LMM--you are the BEST!

I love abandoned old houses! That creepy feeling mixed with the sheer romanticism. And the stories they could tell!

Thank you all!! The block that my house sits on is one of the oldest in town. (I also think it's one of the nicest blocks in town considering there are 4 abandoned houses on it.)

I hope you continue this series Ashley! It was fun!! Thanks!
