Looking Up in Canterbury Cathedral

Isn't this a gorgeous photo? via

I would much rather look up at this instead of a falling ball in Times Square.

Teleport me there at midnight!

Happy New Year!

European Retreat in Denmark

See more of this bathroom in a European Retreat in Denmark here. Use the arrows. I don't think I would have the nerve to turn on the shower with no enclosure.

What a beautiful photo. It captures the quiet and stillness of the idyllic scene perfectly. It must be the first snow of the season because the water isn't frozen. My snow has melted and I'm glad. Have a great evening and I'll see you tomorrow. via

Nature at Her Best

Here is a lovely image to sign off with tonight. skeleton coast.. namib desert… namibia

I worked upstairs off and on today but with much less enthusiasm than yesterday. The sunny day kept calling me to be outside in it. I found a stereo with nice speakers in one of the cupboards in my bedroom and I hooked it up today. I had forgotten all about owning it! I got out all of my CDs and I'm listening to some beautiful Baroque music before I go downstairs to call it a day. Have a great evening and I'll see you tomorrow. xo

So Much Garden, So Little Lawn

Burford in Oxfordshire. This is the perfect amount of grass to have to cut, isn't it? The rest is wild and wonderful. Only in England, sigh! via

Lovely Mountain Cottage

I love the starkness here. When I see secluded cottages like this I always think about the building process and the challenges involved for the original owners. This one was definitely worth those obstacles. xo

Happy Last Day of Summer

A lovely late summer scene in Budapest Hungary. via Are you excited about the first full day of Fall tomorrow? The Virginia creeper is turning red and I'm starting to see color in the maple trees. Fall is right on schedule. xo

Seaside Cottages at Dusk

It's time for me to walk the boys for the last time before it gets completely dark. I love it when the lights first go on in my cottage to welcome the night. I had a busy day and had some fun too. Have a great weekend. xo via

Will Scotland Secede from the UK?

I took this photo today with my iPhone. I was working on an ebay listing of an apron from Scotland for holding clothes pins or pegs as they say across the pond. I found a thistle in bloom to put in the tiny embroidered pocket.

Will Scotland go Independent? The vote is coming up on September 18th so we don't have long to wait and find out. I am obsessed with Scotland since I started watching Outlander on Starz. The costumes and sets are wonderful. I haven't read the book but I'm enjoying the series.

There is an article from NPR and a podcast too in case you want to know more about why Scotland would want to break away from the United Kingdom and become an independent country. I got the cupcakes photo there too. Click here to read and or listen.

I hope you had a nice Labor Day. xo

Last Flowers of Summer

Enjoy the last flowers of the summer. Don't you love this lone hollyhock? I think we are going to have an early fall. I had a very busy day and it's time for me to tuck myself in bed and look for a movie to watch. xo via
