A picture on Pinterest caught my eye,

this poem entangled my heart~

1636
Hartwell Homestead

The following was on a panel

behind the door which leads into the house~

" He who loves an old house
will never love in vain;
For how can any old house
Used to sun and rain
To lilac and to Larkspur
And arching trees above,
Fail to give its answer
To the heart that gives it's love."
