Harmony House

You don't see it everyday.  Bet most of you have never seen it.  I'm talking about a house in a regular neighborhood that has its own name.  Pretty letters next to the front door said, "Harmony House."

What if every household had a tradition of giving itself a name?  What sort of names would you see by the front door?  "Lakers Fans."   "Restaurant Owners."  "Renters."   "Gardeners."  "Crabby Ninnies." "Peace Makers." "Too Busy to Pay Attention."  "Space of Love."

What would the name of your house be?  I'm still thinking about it, mixing it into the Things I get to do today.  If I could name every house in the country with only one name,  "Harmony House" would serve very well.  Make it so.

  1. There are several along my route that have names. One simply says Thirty Acres on a weathered pole in the front yard. Love it.

    1. Thirty Acres is a fair amount to tend, I'd say. It seems to me that acreage and a house would tend to have a name more frequently than a house in the city. What do you say?

    1. Just about what we would expect from a Fine Fiber woman. Do you think of yourself as that--a woman of fine fibers? You are, you know.

  3. Thanks Andrea. I hope you find joy in what your doing. Your blog reminds me and gives me great joy/harmony each day that I read it.
    Thank you! for the comment I like what I am doing it does give me joy and purpose. So, yes, it's a pretty descriptive double entendre.

  4. I like that ... Harmony House.
    Maybe if I name our house that my 3 daughters will be more harmonious with one another? ;) .

    I do like the thought of naming a home. Will give this some thought.
    Thanks for the lovely photo and the food for thought!
    Blessings,
    Catherine :)

    1. We all get what we are paying attention to--daughters who squabble. If you were able to say: today I am wanting to see only harmonious behave amongst these three. Then look for the best they are each showing and appreciate it. Oh! Here I go on my soap box again. Do whatever you like, but I'm glad you found something to ponder. Blessings for your day! Thanks for dropping by.
