More Shelves To Love

If these shelves were mine, they would contain mostly antiquarian books. Is there anything better than a wall of shelves from the floor to the ceiling and from side to side? I think not.

Stormy Skies Over Tuscany

Brrr...It's a chilly April Saturday here at the cottage. I was going to teleport myself to Tuscany but I see it doesn't look any better there with that stormy sky. Actually, I don't mind the chill because I get my best work done in "San Francisco" weather. Have a great weekend y'all. See you later. Rosemary

Woman Builds $20,000 Dog House for 3 Pampered Pets:

What does a $20,000 dog house look like? A lot like a regular house, only smaller and with the scaled-down furniture lower to the ground.

Wisteria

I mowed my front and back lawns last night and did quite a lot of weeding. I didn't finish until almost 8pm. It was a really good workout and everything looks so nice this morning. My wisteria is starting to bloom too. Mine doesn't touch the house like the beautiful mature vine in the image above. It's so nice in the spring and very fragrant too. One must be very careful that it doesn't take over like it did at Grey Gardens.

It's A Beautiful Country Morning

It's a beautiful country morning here at the cottage. I can smell my new-mown grass through the open window. My push mower started with the first pull of the string late yesterday after being in the garage all winter. I was so happy. I'll be back later. Have a great Friday, Rosemary.

Quaker Oatmeal Raisin Cookie Recipe

I've been looking for the original recipe for these cookies for such a long time and finally found it. It used to be printed on the box and hasn't been there for years. These are the best cookies ever. You can add chocolate chips instead of raisins and nuts too if you wish. I'm making these today exactly like the recipe shown below. These were a huge part of my childhood since all the ingredients were always in the pantry. They were mother-approved snacks for my brother and me.

Complete instructions from Quaker Oats.
