Snow is On the Way, Can you Smell it?

Don't you love this snow rabbit? It was 60 degrees today but the weather people say it's going to snow tomorrow. We shall see. Stay warm and safe if it's coming your way too. xo via

Do You Love Lemon Water?

This is my favorite beverage. Lemons make everything better, don't they? via

The Knitting Gnome

The rush is over and it's time to put down your needles and enjoy Christmas Day. My friend Jill sent this darling gif to my phone last night. Love it.

MERRY CHRISTMAS EVERYONE!

Will You Have a White Christmas?

My weather for Christmas Eve is cold and clear. I'll take it! via

Another Moving Owl to Delight You

Here's Looking at You!

Enjoy the first Sunday of Fall.

It's a chilly 50º here at the cottage at 8:30 and there is a heavy dew on the meadow. I should organize my sweaters and get some outfits put together so I don't have to think in the morning. See you later. xo

Two Owls, One Blinking

Don't you just love these two owls? I love whoever created this gif. So fun.

Flags Over Fifth Avenue July 4, 1916

Childe Hassam July 4, 1916

The Fourth of July, 1916. The Greatest Display of the American Flag Ever Seen in New York. This painting was inspired by the climax of the Preparedness Parade in May of that year. It must have been a wonderful sight to behold. Thankfully, we have this world-famous painting to document the historic World War I parade down Fifth Avenue. It's the 100-year anniversary of this great painting.

Enjoy your fireworks tonight!

Coming Soon to A Location Near You

We had a dusting of snow overnight but sun and blue skies with white puffy clouds are overhead at lunch time. My daffodils are in the new bud stage. Can't wait. via

Almost Finished with My Taxes

Today's goal is to finish gathering all necessary paperwork for the accountant and get my life back. via

New Year's Fireworks

This is my favorite animated gif.

I post it every year.

I text it to my friends too.

It's fun to have on your phone.

HAPPY NEW YEAR!

Filled with good health and good friends.

2016 ~ Bring it on!

A Note to My Readers

I can't stop watching this.

I'll bet you can't look away either, right? via

Testing the Wings.

Nope, they're not quite ready yet.

The Myth of Red Clover and The Bee

Remember last week when I told you I always believed bees could not get the nectar from red clover because their tongues were too short? This bee hasn't heard that rumor. Sorry my photo is a little blurry but I'm glad I got him at all. I have fields of both white and red and the bees seem like both equally. The hummingbirds love the red clover too. It's a nice cool breezy morning here at the cottage and the dark clouds are beginning to gather for a thunder storm. Have a great weekend. xo

Tuesday Gif with Peonies and Tabitha

Peonies in full bloom cannot take days and days of unrelenting rain.

I bought a couple of herb plants from Whole Foods in Morristown. I divided the Rosemary into two plants and repotted them. The Lavender was divided into three plants that I arranged in a clay pot shaped like a chicken. They look so nice at my entrance.

Too Much Rain !

We are in the worst weather pattern and the peonies are not happy. We went from no rain to too much rain and I really need a few sunny days for a project at one of my real estate listings. 

Spinach, Peppers, and Swiss Cheese Omelet

My Saturday morning omelet in the making. So yummy and healthy too.

Webster. His first animated GIF.

I am so happy I finally learned how to make a Webster gif. The wonder dog is so worthy, isn't he? He's rolling in clover and loving it. xo

How did I do it? It was very easy. I downloaded the Google Photo app to my iPhone. Then I selected these photos that had a similar background. Then I clicked the + sign on the tool bar and the rest was done for me automatically. So fun! Joanna Stern from the Wall Street Journal has a great tutorial here.

An Amazing Animated Gif

This dot line wave reminds me how my stomach feels right now. I've been up for hours but still haven't had my breakfast. The animals have been fed and now it's my turn. See you later. xo

The Human Body, Animated

This is great, isn't it? via
