Life's Little Instruction Book, page 128 . . .





...To be continued...

Thanks for stopping by the cottage on this last Saturday of August. The summer has virtually disappeared here and it's cold and rainy. After all the heat we've had, it feels very good. I just feel sorry for all the people on vacation. It will be better on Sunday. Enjoy your weekend. ♥Rosemary

Inspiring Art Video Story featuring a Watercolor Artist . . .




I hope this video will inspire all the artists out there who sometimes question whether or not their art is worthwhile. I enjoyed the watercolor musical story very much and hope you did too.

Life's Little Instruction Book, page 127 . . .





I overslept this morning on this fine summer day. The heat is supposed to be back in full force later on. I am going to get my outdoor work done early.
Thanks for stopping by the cottage! ♥Rosemary

The stewardship of owning land . . .

I was so happy to find this quote to go with another page I ripped out of a magazine. I found the quote and added the text to the photo. I am going to type it again so it can be searched in case you want to find it months from now.

"I think having land and not ruining it is the most beautiful art that anybody could ever want to own."
Andy Warhol

I couldn't have said it better!

Thanks for stopping by the cottage to read a couple of pages from this wonderful book by H. Jackson Brown, Jr. I will soon be finished transcribing these pages for you to read and won't that be a sad day? ♥Rosemary
