Curved Stairs in An Old House

How wonderful to see these untouched curved stairs in an old house. via I mowed the front yesterday for the first time this year in order to beat the rain. I mowed the back a week ago. I didn't get up this morning until 8:30 and Missy was still fast asleep. There's nothing like a rainy day for sleeping in, is there? Especially after a hard day of outside work the day before. Not that Missy toiled, but standing at the window to supervise is a dog's work. All the landscapers are mowing in the rain because it's Friday. I like to schedule my mowings around the weather report. Today is going to be a lazy day. Enjoy yours too. xo

Red-bellied woodpecker at my Feeder

He is my favorite bird thus far and the showiest because of his size and beautiful red head. I hope he won't hold it against me when I get my sunflower kernels only bird seed without any peanuts and other tree nuts in the mix. Otherwise, I would be headed to the poor house in no time. This large woodpecker has an easier time at my feeder than the much smaller Downy Woodpecker who doesn't always latch on a perch the first try. But he perseveres and eventually lands and feeds. I am a happy bird lady and will continue to show you photographs whenever I get a great one. Happy Friday. xo

Porch Envy

Happy Friday everyone. This enviable porch has so many things to love. Double doors, double dogs, double benches, and a painted floor to name just a few. I love the charcoal paint on the door and shutters against the light gray diamonds on the floor. Perfection! via
