I'll light the fire
You put the flowers in the vase
That you bought today
CountrymousYou put the flowers in the vase
That you bought today

Staring at the fire
For hours and hours
While I listen to you
Play your love songs
All night long for me
Only for me
Come to me now
And rest your head for just five minutes
Everything is good
And rest your head for just five minutes
Everything is good

Such a cosy room
The windows are illuminated
By the evening sunshine through them
Fiery gems for you
Only for you
The windows are illuminated
By the evening sunshine through them
Fiery gems for you
Only for you
Our house is a very, very fine house
With two cats in the yard
Life used to be so hard
Now everything is easy
'Cause of you
And our la,la,la, la,la, la, la, la, la, la, la.....
It took me about two weeks to get fully persuaded about buying the house. Countrymouse left the final decision up to me, though his desire was crystal clear. I did have some reservations, not so much about the house as moving away from the hub of our lives. When I considered everything, the blessings outweighed any drawbacks. The rest is history.With two cats in the yard

hey! i just realized that the house used to have three windows upstairs. i can't even imagine how that would look. where would the middle window even go?
ReplyDeleteGrandpa took it out. It would be where Thomas and Matt's closet is now. It had something to do with the "new" chimney that connects with the living room wood stove. I wish it was still there, along with the porch rails and the vestibule. Oh well...
ReplyDeleteyeah, i guess i wish it was still there too. i feel like it balances it out, even though three isn't an even number. oh well. that house is a very sweet house though. i remember looking for "secret" things when i was younger. my very favorite spot in that house (besides the obvious insane attic full of stuff that used to be there) is the little nook area in the dining room with the "chest" like area in the window. i thought that was such a cool thing.
