While traveling I always check out sites, people and the local architecture. Since I live in a desert when I travel I thoroughly enjoy trees, flowers and anything that is not South West or Tuscan (the current housing fad in Arizona) Design.
We stumbled upon a "perfect" neighborhood in Newport Beach, California. We even saw a Stepford Wife and Ken Doll saying their goodbyes in front of a perfectly manicured lawn. I felt like we were on a movie set. Could it be Wisteria Lane? We saw bikes propped in front of a perfectly designed home. Then we turned the corner and the Stepford children were selling lemonade. The lemonade was terrible... thank goodness, I can only handle so much perfection!
Welcome to Wisteria Lane...
too funny!
ReplyDeleteOh..look at that! Doesn't it look perfect;-)
ReplyDeleteFunny. The houses are beautiful though.
ReplyDeleteGreat observations about the Stepford neighborhood. I like the manicured archway in the first photo. Wonder how long it took to get it looking like that.
ReplyDeleteI saw your name in Dutch Baby and came to say hello. You wrote a funny post. I could not live on a road where you have to keep a manicured loan. We have one acre here and it is mostly covered with pines and native brushes. I do have a fig tree though and it has so many figs right now that I have to hurry and make some jam.
ReplyDeletethat looks beautiful! did you happen to catch the street name? we are looking at moving there in a year or so and a street like that would be perfect for my family! thank-you.
