Amazing Cottage Transformation

Before

After
All I can say is WOW! See more photos here.

Overslept this Morning

I know exactly how Maddie the Coonhound feels. I got up at my her regular time to let the cat out and went back to bed. It was almost 9 o'clock when I got up again. I'm still adjusting to "fast" time.

Happy Pi Day

Click here if the video box doesn't load for you.

The town of Princeton, NJ goes all out for Pi Day every year. It's for math geeks in celebration of the equation 3.14 and it's also today's date 3/14.

Sheep in The Morning

Sheep in the morning. The sun has burned off the mist where they are grazing but hasn't reached the valley behind them. via

Chalkboard Wall in Dining Area


The shopping list on the wall made me laugh when I got to the last item. via

My Happy Dog


What? All for me?

Happiness is: A new supply of biscuits! A whole box fits perfectly in this old glass cheese preserver. I always buy the small treats because I can give the wonder dog 3 or 4 instead of only a single big one and there are no crumbs left on the floor. He can count, you know. 

Sweet Peas


Pretty soon it will be time to plant your lovely climbing sweet peas. via

Great Sandwich Shop

This looks like my kind of place! If I ever go to Austin Texas, I will definitely check it out. via

Dog in A Wheelbarrow


I'm posting this photo because it gave me such a good idea. I have a big contractor's wheelbarrow in the garage and the body is hideous orange plastic. I rarely use it and keep it hidden. The first nice day, I'm going to fill it up with warm water and give Webster a bath in it. One of my outside hose connections has hot and cold running water. He's pretty stinky at the moment and he will love it. via

Mad Men Season 6 Poster

I was just wondering when this was going to start up again and now I know. via

Incense Burner

I found this cute little clay teepee incense burner hiding in a drawer the other day and fired it up. It cleared the air for other smells. The cubes that came with it were supposed to smell like cinnamon but they just smelled like smoke to me. [my photo]

Crate Kitchen Cabinets

What a "crate" idea! via
