It's Raining Cats and Dogs At The Cottage

I got soaked to the skin just now coming home from the grocery store. Webster had a second bath and he did not like this one. I bathed him in the bathtub this morning and he moved not a muscle. He loved it. I've already pulled up all the cleomes because of the crab grass invasion in this front area. They were once beautiful. The spruce trees are enjoying the shower after a long hot dry summer.

Very Nice Wall of Framed Photos

I like the arrangement of these framed black and white photos on this sea-foam teal wall. The frames are a combination of black and white as well. Very nice!!!

Sweet Potato Buttermilk Pie Recipe

I'm on a mission to clean up all of my bookmarks. If I blog about them then I'll be able to erase them. I've been saving this recipe from Smitten Kitchen for quite a long time. I want to make it for Thanksgiving or even sooner now that the weather is getting cool. Looks delicious, doesn't it? I always have sweet potatoes in the house and I usually have buttermilk too southern girl that I am.

Thankful Children | Jessie Wilcox Smith

I adore the charming illustrations of children by Jessie Wilcox Smith. I felt like this little boy this morning as I was waiting for my cinnamon raisin toast to pop up out of the toaster; thankful but eager. I love the red geraniums on the windowsill too. [via]

Apples Are My Favorite Things About Fall

I just can't get my fill of these ginger gold apples. They are tart and crisp and they snap when you bite into them. I eat several every day and buy them in great quantities when they are fresh off the trees. What's your favorite variety? Don't you love the way they look in my antique Georgian glass bowl?

Daisies Are The Sweetest Flowers

I took this daisy photo last summer. I can't remember seeing any great daisies on my property this summer. Maybe they though it was too hot . . . and it was. At least I have this to remember them by.

You know how much I love Phrenology Heads. I've been saving this image because it fits in with the theme. Sorry, don't know the source of the poster.
