It's gray and rainy outside. Both my kids are sick. I ran out of LaCroix. I am wearing my dorky glasses. But maybe that's why these colorful houses jumped out at me while I carted my germy people to doctors and drug stores. 

I had to stop and photograph these vivid dwellings and each time I asked myself: are they tacky or arty? I came to the conclusion it doesn't matter. They all look cheerful today.
