Hollyhock House

There's just something about this little house that makes me smile everytime I drive by. It's one of the houses in my neighborhood that I fantasize about owning. I think it looks happy, if slightly disheveled, with that riot of color in the front yard. I'm curious about who lives there and who planted all those hollyhocks. Sometimes I think the yard could use a bit of weeding and other times I think it should be left alone. Apparently the owner agrees with the latter point of view.
