- Go to Yesterday and today.
I wonder if they are suburbs that pick the color schemes like here in Florida.

Aww - I can't picture your little house as gray. In my mind it will always be yellow with gnomes keeping watch and fairies flying around with the birds....

With only a handful of trick-or-treaters per year, I do think about not doing Halloween, but I think I'll stick with it.

Good Afternoon
Kabu, I used to decorate for Halloween but when we moved the houses were too far apart and our village has a Halloween party for the kids. We don't get trick-or-treaters anymore. I really do miss them.

I had to turn around and look out the window to see what color mine is (after living here 15 years LOL) One becomes immune to noticing things like that. (Ours is light beige not light gray)

We don't paint much it is cheaper to cover any wood with white plastic. Alright it does not matter I can go back in time and see you feeding a piggywig.

Good morning
Gray can be pretty when paired with blue shutters, but I much prefer a cheerful yellow too. Maybe that is why I love my little yellow retreat so much.

At some time I painted our family house yellow - not bright yellow
like a school bus, but a shade darker. I thought it looked nice, but when the grown kids came back to see it, they didn't like it. It was a time when the only proper color for a house was white, with dark trim and shutters. Oh, well. I think some shades of gray are OK for houses, especially if the trim is black or a nice bright blue. Ask your boys to send you a copy of one of your favorite pictures. I'm sure there's a spot on your wall that's just begging for such a portrait.

I suppose painting a house is a way of affirming ownership of it. But I remember years ago driving through the countryside and feeling such a warm feeling seeing a farmhouse painted a beautiful corn-meal yellow!
