Irish Blessings for St. Patrick's Day

I made all of these Irish Blessings over the years and still love each one. Wear something green and have a Happy St. Patrick's Day.

Red Geraniums on A Windowsill

Pretty soon we can take our geraniums outside again. Won't that be nice? via

Wonderful Porch with Fireplace

This is precisely the time of year you'd enjoy sitting out here with a roaring fire. You could watch spring emerge and be cozy and warm while doing it. Of course you'd be reading a good book too. via

Delightful Cottage Wing

Something much larger was added to the right of this perfect cottage. Don't you love the way the eyebrow windows open upstairs? I think it's perfect as a stand alone dwelling, don't you? via

The Standoff. Cat vs. Dog

Tabitha never misses an opportunity to torture poor Webster. She is sitting in his favorite spot and he's afraid to walk past her. He turned around and made a complete circle from the kitchen to see if his spot was still occupied.

Fortunately, it was available once again. Tabitha was just exercising her power over the world's sweetest dog. 

Red Covered Bridge in Sangamon County Illinois

Bridges of Sangamon County By: Javed Rassi

It's easy to understand why this covered bridge over Sugar Creek in Sangamon County Illinois is painted red. It's nice to have a spot of color in a black and white world in the winter.

Cute French Bulldog Puppy

This breed is especially cute in puppyhood, especially when posing on a skateboard. via

Yesterday at My Cottage

What a difference a day makes. Yesterday was picture perfect and today is gray and rainy with a touch of fog. I'm happy there is almost no snow on the roof surfaces and no ice in the gutters of my cottage. I haven't walked to the way back with Webster in ages and I'm anxious to get back to our old routine. Have a great weekend. xo

Wonderful Bedroom in Summer

I'd love to wake up here in the summer with the window open. My headboard is on a north wall with no window. I'd love to have a window there like this one in the summer but not in the winter. via
