Woodchipped Garden Path

I simply must spread my pile of woodchips to keep down the weeds near my front entrance. This garden inside and outside the picket fence is fabulous, isn't it? via

Deck Decor

Have you started getting ready for outdoor living yet? I have worked on the deck floor of my balcony for the past three days and it's looking better. This one looks perfect, doesn't it? via

Mine will look better as the sun bleaches it daily. I still have to clean the furniture.

Beautiful Day in Edinburgh Scotland

It looks like spring in Edinburgh in this photo. Wish I were there!!! via

Architectural Artifact from My Collection

This zinc urn was once on a dormer in Newark NJ. A gentleman nearby said his father got it from a building that was being demolished. It was just sitting in a junk pile in his back yard. One day on my way to the post office, I stopped and knocked on his door to ask if I could buy it. He said yes and it's been in my junk pile ever since. Not really, it's in a boxwood garden. my iPhone photo

Tiny wildflowers in the woods

Portrait of a Succulent

An old photo from my phone from last summer. I think I have probably published it before and here it is again. I still love it. Have a great weekend. 

Golden Boy Webster

He looked beautiful in the golden light of the setting sun one day recently. He looks sad but he wasn't. He was just mad that I was trying to make him stand still so I could get a good picture. He was on the trail of the fox, his favorite pastime. my iPhone photo

Cutest puppy mix.

His name is Bosco and he's 10 weeks old. He is half black lab and half springer spaniel. Look at his paws! Isn't he adorable? What a great mix---he's got the best of both breeds. via

Having my coffee now

This is just exactly what I am having at this very moment. I slept late this morning and it was wonderful. I always add hot soy milk to my morning coffee and it mixes itself just like this gif. See you later, friends. via

Jhuzihhu Taiwan -- I've never seen calla lilies growing en masse, have you? How does a person even get in there to cut them without doing damage? Stunning photo. via

I decided to post the after photo first so you wouldn't get depressed by the before photo if you haven't had your coffee yet. 

See what I mean? It's an amazing transformation, isn't it? Hop on over to Hooked on Houses to see more views of this 1980s kitchen, before and after.

Baby Goose

This little gosling looks so cozy tucked under mother's wing. I'm getting ready to tuck myself between the sheets to enjoy some TV time on the flat screen in my bedroom. Goodnight all. See you in the morning. via

Pub Kitchen

This kitchen looks like an English Pub, doesn't it? I love decorating with antiques. via

Foxglove in a Williamsburg Garden
