Gardens in Late Summer

My late summer garden looks awful this year. The summer in NJ was brutal this year. A friend sent me an article from The New York Times today just in time for this post. Thanks Marybeth. I was glad to get a new recipe for a homemade weedkiller. I can't wait to try it. Click on the following link to read more.

"Try spritzing weeds while they are still sprouts with this homemade solution: a gallon of vinegar mixed with 2 tablespoons canola oil (other oils will gum up the sprayer head) and 1 tablespoon liquid Ivory dish detergent."

Very Nicely Arranged Interior

I love everything in this photo, don't you. I'd have to have the chaise coming off the other end so I could lie back and watch my tiny TV in total comfort. The trunk makes a great coffee table too.

Wonderful Phrenology Head Graphic

I scanned this fabulous Phrenology Head from a newspaper years and years ago when I got my first scanner which is probably considered to be an antique by now. You can see the text bleeding through from the reverse side of the newsprint. It's the best one I've ever seen and I always look for them. I sold this porcelain head recently.

A pair of crowned cranes earn the nickname 'heads and tails' as one turns its head away from the camera at the Biopark Zoo in Valencia, Spain. They are beautiful birds, aren't they? Real head turners!

Beautiful Closet Doors

I love the addition of louvers on these closet doors. They would be great in a mudroom so each family member could have a vented "locker" to hide their mess.

I might pack up the car and go on a perfect picnic this weekend. Have fun whatever you do.

I have an extra ice chest that will be handy for the watermelon that is chilling in the fridge.
