Chocorua!

 

Julie stayed in our house here over the winter and spiffed it up ultra perfectly for our return:

 

So many details I loved coming upon:  these red containers for lotions and things in our bathroom with the red floor.

The utensils in perfect order in the kitchen (well-almost--this photo was taken a few days after we arrived--so we had time to mess up a bit).

Napkins neat and perfectly folded.

And pillowcases.

And, the most miraculous, Julie sorted and folded our enormous mess of sheets, labeled them and put them away 

all while sympathizing with the servants as she watched Downton Abbey.

Outside, Myles created her magic all around the house with flowers, vegetables, morning glories curling onto old willow branches.

Such a welcome home!!
