Pastoral Landscape Flagstaff, Arizona

A lone tree + a cow + dark blue blue sky + white puffy clouds = a perfect landscape. Since much of the world is blanketed with snow, we shall remember summer.

Busted: Cottage Dog on Sofa

Caught in the act of sneaking on the sofa! If you look closely near the rug to the left of the throw you'll see a disgusting dirty mark on the skirt fabric. I was attempting to disguise it with this wonderful brown wool throw but Webster assumed I put it there for him. This spot on the rug is his favorite. He stands there and slides his front feet forward while leaning on the sofa...thus the long mark on the sofa frame of dirt and his body oils. I've cleaned it before and will again when I have time.

I got a new sofa (long story for later) in another part of the room where my mother and I were sitting enjoying our morning coffee. It is a big comfy one and Webster wanted to join us but wasn't allowed so he politely walked over to his "spot" and defiantly climbed up making eye contact the whole time as if to say, "I'll show you what I do when you're not around and I'll do it to the new one too when I get a chance."

Robert Demachy (France 1859–1938)
Another vintage photograph to please you. There are no people or structures in this image but you can tell it's old just by looking at it. Why is that?

My cat Tabitha prefers getting hers like this.

Black and White Kitchen Love

I wouldn't change a thing in this beautiful kitchen. You know how much I love a black and white checkerboard floor having had one myself in my previous kitchen. I really want to see more of that room behind the partially opened door, don't you? Is it a bedroom? We want more in case anyone is listening reading. Simply charming!
