Don't you love this giant clock on this beautiful paneled wall? I think it's absolutely wonderful. Nothing else is necessary and would be overpowered by this timepiece anyway. You wouldn't have any excuse for being late if you lived in this household, would you? I'm tuckered out from dealing with this dreadful weather today. See you tomorrow. Goodnight, Rosemary.
I would so love to be here in this ancient village today. I wouldn't even mind if it were raining.
It's always a shame when family traditions go down the drain, isn't it? It really is worth the effort to keep them going...so push on.
Aren't these climbing roses beautiful on this carriage house?
I used to live next door to this farm when I first moved to New Jersey in 1973. The Roxiticus Valley is one of the most beautiful sections of Morris County. I had to pinch myself every day country girl that I am. Living in New York City wasn't my cup of tea.

I could work here and be so happy as long as I had a comfortable chair instead of this stool and an outside view to the left of the computer screen. I actually once converted a walk-in closet into an office and loved it.
Toad Hall is composed of five log cabins set in the wooded foothills of the Great Smoky Mountains, in Tennessee.
At one end of the great room, the open kitchen is a master chef’s kitchen. The pair of French still lifes are 18th century. The oak rack is 19th-century English.
The bedroom’s walls and ceiling inspired the high-contrast palette of the furnishings, including the cream bed hangings for the hickory-log four-poster.
The porch—“an extension of the great room”—looks out to Tadpole Cottage, left, and another outbuilding called The Writer’s Cottage. The wonderful porch is decorated in the casual vernacular that relates to the architecture of a log cabin.
Tadpole Cottage, a two-room pondside folly, is used exclusively by guests. The couple—the visionaries behind the nearby luxury hotel Blackberry Farm—built all the cabins from antique timbers. Read A Tale of Toad Hall.
Don't you love the hand prints decorating the walls? Such a nice happy basement space. Hope your day was filled with fun. See you tomorrow, Rosemary.
I have always wondered how the son turned out with all of this sage advice from his wonderful father? Does anybody know? Isn't #535 the sweetest thing you've ever read? Swoon.
