The house is protected by a tall vine-covered wire fence, but a friendly, smiling concrete face urged me to step closer.
The house is not open for viewing, since it's located on a quiet upscale dead-end street. These signs are posted on the gate at the end of the driveway.
Two more happy faces flank the driveway. This is the one on the right, which bears the name Nohl.
I was able to photograph through the gate to get a photo very similar to the one on the cover of the book (see previous post)! I could have stood there for hours. I didn't notice until I posted this photo here, that there is a light on in the right second story window. The spirit of Mary, maybe? If I were Mary, I'd like to stop back to visit once in a while, too
Here's a photo through the fence looking toward Lake Michigan. The tall statue on the left is the one that I could see looking at me over the fence in the first photo.
And a closer look at the happy couple. I noticed while I was looking at all these statues, that they all looked happy. I like that.
Another parting glance at the house and the handsome blue-eyed dude with the pointy head. It was a pleasure to meet you all in person!
Here's the view from just outside Mary's house looking toward the lake to the right
and to the left. . . I'm going to take a little blogging break to read my book about Mary Nohl from cover to cover. She's my new hero, and I know there is much I can learn from her.
