Here's the historic green barn that everyone is trying to replicate. It's a landmark property around here that was once owned by Seth Thomas, Jr. I love the black cast iron crows on the red gates.

Orange Sections For Breakfast
This was my breakfast dessert. I never drink orange juice anymore since I heard how it was processed on NPR. What? You haven't heard? Well, the stuff you get in cartons in the grocery store was stored in vats for up to one year after the oxygen was removed so it wouldn't spoil. Then when they get ready to reconstitute it, it is absolutely tasteless so they have to add flavor to make it taste like oranges again. Yuck. I couldn't find the NPR article but I found this for you to read. Eating a real orange is the only way to go, right?
I found a link to help you with orange juice brands:
Life's Little Instruction Book | Volume II | Page 71
A few more suggestions, observations, and reminders on how to live a happy and rewarding life.
Great advice from a father to a son that went viral and became two books. I like all the helpful hints on this page. The book was published in 1993. He was very insightful about the bankers, wasn't he?

Watercolor of Tabitha
It's been a while since I posted a watercolor of Miss Tabitha. Here she is in profile. I took the photo this morning.
The weather was glorious today and we are back to our long walks. Three so far and there will be one more when it's almost dark. Hope your weekend is going well too. xo
Amazing Sky this Morning at My Cottage
Wow. This sky was simply amazing this morning. It didn't last long with the sun's rays but it was beautiful for a minute or so.
Black Dog Blends In
You have to look hard to see this black lab against the Black Aga Stove, don't you? What a cozy place for a dog bed when you aren't cooking. These two lucky dogs live in the English countryside. via Have a great weekend.

Happy Friday
This is a photo of my healthy breakfast this morning. I toasted two slices of my nut and seed bread in my panini press. It's way too small for my toaster. I did a 10 minute egg for a solid yoke...I don't like runny ones. I bought 4 avocado several days ago and one felt ripe and it was. I left the seed in the other half and brushed the flesh with lemon juice and put it in a covered container. I hope that will keep it from turning black before lunch. My first meal of the day was very satisfying and I'm excited about eating better even though I already do. So let's say I'll be eating better than ever.
It's a gray day and it's cold so the Wonder Dog is waiting patiently for me to get my act together for our first long walk of the day which is upcoming shortly. See you later. xo
