Little Pink Houses ...
"Oh, but ain't that America
For you and me
Ain't that America
Something to see, baby
Ain't that America
Home of the free, yeah
Little pink houses
For you and me
Oooh, yeah
For you and me."

The 1983 John Cougar Mellencamp song "Pink Houses" popped
into my mind when I saw this charming house bedecked for
St. Patrick's Day in Belvidere, New Jersey last weekend.
Belvidere is a charming Victorian town located on the banks
of the Pequest and Delaware Rivers.

The times of your life?"
~ "Times of Your Life"

But I have promises to keep,
And miles to go before I sleep,
And miles to go before I sleep."
