Welcoming Cottage

There was no welcome sign hanging in front of the cottage, but there didn't need to be.  The entire property called out a welcome.

Azaleas of varying colors blossomed between manicured rose bushes surrounding the foundation of the cottage. A stained glass window, nestled beneath an overhang supported by gingerbread trim, mirrored the hues of the azaleas. Black shutters accented the arctic white clapboards and a winding brick path invited visitors right to the front door.

I just knew that within there would be a table set for afternoon tea and was sorely tempted to intrude.
