Life's Little Instruction Book, pages 110 + 111 . . .

Happy Monday. I had a wonderful weekend. Hope you did too. I did absolutely nothing constructive on Sunday with no guilt. My internal battery is super-charged and I'm ready for a week of work. Feels good. Thanks for stopping by the cottage for a visit. ♥Rosemary

Blue-eyed Snake + Purple Coneflower . . .

Don't look if you are squeemish about snakes!

These two photos are not Photoshopped at all. They are right out of the camera. I was shocked to see the blue eyes on this snake when I uploaded the pics to my computer. I saw him stretched out in a sunny spot outside my living room window. I went out the front door to see how close I could get and the snake never even flinched as I got closer and closer. I'm told that when these snakes are about to lose their skin their eyes temporarily turn blue. I'm not afraid of snakes but am terrified of mice. Anything that eats mice is a friend of mine!

It rained almost all night and now the sun is shining brightly. My favorite weather combination! Have a great Sunday. Thanks for stopping by the cottage today. ♥Rosemary


Old Blue Eyes!


A genuine snake in the grass.


Purple Coneflower
This plant is very tall this year.
I am so happy I moved it to the back wall!

I love this ceiling treatment.


I love absolutely everything in this photo.
The paneled staircase wall in the best blue paint.

I like this desk with all the cubbies.

Such a beautiful kitchen. Wish I could see more.
