Tuesday Gif with Peonies and Tabitha

Peonies in full bloom cannot take days and days of unrelenting rain.
I bought a couple of herb plants from Whole Foods in Morristown. I divided the Rosemary into two plants and repotted them. The Lavender was divided into three plants that I arranged in a clay pot shaped like a chicken. They look so nice at my entrance.

Too Much Rain !

We are in the worst weather pattern and the peonies are not happy. We went from no rain to too much rain and I really need a few sunny days for a project at one of my real estate listings.

Artwork in Progress

I love seeing artwork in progress with the scene and the sketch in one photo.
A work in progress in a very large sketchbook.

The finished drawing is very nice, isn't it? It looks like an engraving but it was done with a gel pen. Sjaak Kaashoek is a professional artist living in the Netherlands.

Wonderful House Tour


Like what you see so far? 
It's even more wonderful inside.

P is for Pink Peony

My very own pink peony captured with my iPhone. They really got battered this week with all the rain but I still love them.

Spinach, Peppers, and Swiss Cheese Omelet

My Saturday morning omelet in the making. So yummy and healthy too.

Webster. His first animated GIF.

I am so happy I finally learned how to make a Webster gif. The wonder dog is so worthy, isn't he? He's rolling in clover and loving it. xo

How did I do it? It was very easy. I downloaded the Google Photo app to my iPhone. Then I selected these photos that had a similar background. Then I clicked the + sign on the tool bar and the rest was done for me automatically. So fun! Joanna Stern from the Wall Street Journal has a great tutorial here.

My favorite fabric. This chair looks like the perfect place to curl up with a good book, doesn't it? I hope there is an ottoman somewhere. I love that the owner dragged another chair beside the easy chair to hold all the books because there were fresh flowers on the table. 
We had rain all night but it stopped at daybreak. Enjoy your Sunday whatever you do, inside or outside. xo
