DAILY FRONT PORCH - WRIGHTWOOD, CA

Every time I use to walk by this little house/cabin - I admired the shingles on it- it just looked like a cozy cabin to me and one I could be happy in.  It was very close to town - not up a steep hill like where we were living and nearby was the house with the pretty flowers that I posted below.   I posted the bottom pics just to show what a hoarder's yard must look like.  This particular yard in the bottom two pics were several blocks up from this one.  I never could figure out why they had so much stuff in that yard and on their porch.  So today are two porches - this one below and at the bottom of the post the hoarder's porch.

Wrightwood is in the mountains and half of the area is in LA County and the other half in San Bernardino County.  It's a favorite of people coming from LA during the winter to ski at Mountain High.  One thing I disliked about Wrightwood was the seasonal traffic that would be horrendous on the weekends.





For two years I watched this garden grow and then we moved - Last time I drove by in the fall of 2014 it looked like someone had cleared the whole garden out.  Or ..maybe just mowed it down.

Do you have a main blog? I don't know where to go first. Thanks for visiting and making comments.
I also love the coziness of this cottage, along with the color and gardens.

Both houses are cute or at least I think the bottom one is, looking through all the stuff. And that is A LOT of stuff!

Looks like a cozy cabin for sure! Not too sure I could deal with all that stuff in the yard...;)

The flowers are Beautiful......It looks like they are having a garage sale.....Pretty messy, huh? Cute Cabin, though.

who knew you could even make beautiful mother nature look tacky??? LOLOL.
if I lived next door to that i'd have to move. i get claustrophobic just looking at it.
but the top one is just charming.

thanks all - yeah I could NOT live next door to all that - it would throw off my mental balance....should I actually have one;).

I love the first house. The flowers are so pretty too. The hoarder's yard looks so chaotic and messy. That would drive me crazy.
