Beautiful Library in Baltimore
I go to the Morristown or Madison libraries at least once a week. A brand new library just opened in Harding Township; the ribbon cutting was Friday and I forgot all about it. It is beautiful and was built with private funds. Many local residents were opposed but I think they will be thrilled with it even if their taxes go up a tiny bit.
The lovely old Morristown library has been closed for two weeks because of an underground explosion that blew out some doors, windows, and an 8' thick hole in the basement ceiling. There have been various manhole cover explosions throughout the downtown Morristown vicinity and JCP&L can't identify the problem. Luckily one of the librarians saw the smoke in the street early on that Monday morning and the library was evacuated before opening bell for the public. The authorities say the violent explosion would likely have resulted in fatalities. I was one of the last customers on the previous day. I had to return my mother's audio tapes to Madison yesterday.
Busy day ahead with the open house for my new listing. Have a great Sunday and I'll see you much later.

Great Soaking Tub
I really like this country bath, don't you? I'm especially in love with the simple shelf design. What a great look. I'm going to wait until tomorrow morning for my hot bath so I'll be squeeky clean for my Open House. Wish me luck. I have a vintage Kohler corner tub from the 1930s that is original to my cottage. The Duchess of Windsor had the same one. Really. One day I'll post a picture of hers.

Dogs Never Need A Vacation
This certainly is true for my dog Webster who is thrilled by a short ride in the car to go to the post office around the corner. If we stop at the bank and get a biscuit he's over the moon. Dogs can teach us so much, can't they? Have a great weekend. It's is going to be wonderful weather today and tomorrow in my neck of the woods. Hope you can say the same.Click orange square to subscribe via feed reader or email.

Vintage Red Porch Glider
Which way would you want to face while sitting on this great vintage red porch glider? Maybe it looks out on an equally gorgeous view and it probably does. I'd love to have a glider like this for my balcony. Photo from Country Living magazine. Have a great weekend.
Cubby Love
Swoon I always stop to check out photos with walls of cubbies. I know there are lost of you out there that like them too. Happy Friday. I finished my mowing this morning before I even had a second cup of coffee. I will do the front today hopefully. Have a great day. I'll be back later.

Pardon Me! Insects Having a Private Moment.
Dear Mr. and Mrs. Longlegs, I think I captured your insect intimacy without even realizing it until I started processing the photo. Sorry. Next time pick a spot away from my front door so I can't see you.
Thanks, Rosemary
I took this photo of a dragonfly almost a year ago over Memorial Day Weekend 2009.

Miniature Cast Iron Urn
I couldn't believe my luck when I found not one but two of these cast iron urns in a rare small size at a garage sale for $1.00 each. I have them planted with succulents and they give me lots of pleasure sitting on my kitchen windowsill. This one is photographed in front of my favorite set of antiquarian books with hunting motifs on the spines of the fine leather bindings. Life is good!Click orange square to subscribe via feed reader or email.

First Hummingbird Sighting Today
I hung my hummingbird feeder a couple of weeks ago outside my kitchen window. I've noticed that the level of the sugar-water solution I prepared has been going down and today I found out why. Those tiny birds have discovered their sweet nectar and have been feasting while I wasn't looking. It's going to be hard to get decent pictures through the screen. When it gets warmer I'll have to hide out on the balcony and wait, camera in hand. I am thrilled. Stay turned for more hummingbird news.I had to bring my cilantro and thyme indoors because of the recent cold snap.
