Bewitched

Have you ever felt so attracted to something (or someone) in a photograph that you almost feel foolish? Yes, I have experienced that kind of attraction. Ever since I discovered this photograph on the Internet of this house, located in Winedale, Texas, I haven’t been totally myself. I’ve been bewitched!
I dream with this house day and night, I see myself standing there in the middle of that yard out-looking the gardens and orchard twinkling with fruit. I can feel sunshine caressing my shoulders, a warm breeze in my face and hair. I turn around to face the house, and I see my children sitting in white rocking chairs in the balcony, engaged in happy conversation. I hear laughter, the laughter of children and grandchildren and I see my husband tending the old picket fence... I want to paint it white, but then again it looks just perfect in its imperfect way, and my heart is beaming with joy and family and sunshine and imperfect perfect picket fences in a imperfect, perfect life.

  1. Cielo, I can see that you are entranced by this home, and its picket fence and yard. A place for dreaming.

  3. This is a great house with a fine yard. I am attracted to it also. Is it for sale? Lots of work on the grounds, but lots of fun too.

  4. yes I know where you are coming home. My mum and ours previous home had the same effect. we used to pass it every day dreaming of living in there. IT was a council house and we were on the waiting list. We used to dream and then one day we had a letter saying we had a house and you've guessed it, it was that house. We dont live there anymore but we were very happy there

  8. I can see why you are bewitched...I am taken with it myself. It harkens back to a softer, gentler time, don't you think? And, it reminds me of something from one of the old Currier and Ives prints.

    I think that there are a lot of us that romanticize a place and build a "history" for it -if it doesn't already have one. Love this and thank you for sharing it here- xxoo Diana

  9. Its strange somehow that a place can just do that for you, a certain house that you just can't get out of your mind. Keep dreaming it looks lovely.

  12. Hello, if you will do a google search on Winedale Tx you'll find lots more pics of this place. It's actually a historical place with more outbuildings. Thanks for the mention, Theresa
