Last weekend I returned to my former habitation township , Takoma Park , MD , for their natural spring go and left with one large take - away – that soundly - look gardens are easier to attain when they ring great - look dwelling .   And Takoma is know for its gorgeous trapping stock of Victorians and bungalows and yes , I miss seeing them .   Curb ingathering galore !

Here are my favourite home base / garden combinations from the tour .

Above , notice the trivial light-green roof ?   And what would you call this computer architecture ?
