For centuries men have been trying to perfect a ways to read multiple books. Is this the eBook Reader of the 1700s? Epic fail because you have to sit in one place to peruse articles. More about Captain Agostino Ramelli's contraption here.

Beautiful Day in Edinburgh Scotland
It looks like spring in Edinburgh in this photo. Wish I were there!!! via
Architectural Artifact from My Collection
This zinc urn was once on a dormer in Newark NJ. A gentleman nearby said his father got it from a building that was being demolished. It was just sitting in a junk pile in his back yard. One day on my way to the post office, I stopped and knocked on his door to ask if I could buy it. He said yes and it's been in my junk pile ever since. Not really, it's in a boxwood garden. my iPhone photo

Golden Boy Webster
He looked beautiful in the golden light of the setting sun one day recently. He looks sad but he wasn't. He was just mad that I was trying to make him stand still so I could get a good picture. He was on the trail of the fox, his favorite pastime. my iPhone photo
Cutest puppy mix.
His name is Bosco and he's 10 weeks old. He is half black lab and half springer spaniel. Look at his paws! Isn't he adorable? What a great mix---he's got the best of both breeds. via
Having my coffee now
This is just exactly what I am having at this very moment. I slept late this morning and it was wonderful. I always add hot soy milk to my morning coffee and it mixes itself just like this gif. See you later, friends. via

Where the Calla Lilies Grow
Jhuzihhu Taiwan -- I've never seen calla lilies growing en masse, have you? How does a person even get in there to cut them without doing damage? Stunning photo. via
Great Kitchen -- Before and After
I decided to post the after photo first so you wouldn't get depressed by the before photo if you haven't had your coffee yet.
See what I mean? It's an amazing transformation, isn't it? Hop on over to Hooked on Houses to see more views of this 1980s kitchen, before and after.

Baby Goose
This little gosling looks so cozy tucked under mother's wing. I'm getting ready to tuck myself between the sheets to enjoy some TV time on the flat screen in my bedroom. Goodnight all. See you in the morning. via
Foxglove in a Williamsburg Garden
Could anything be lovelier on a frigid April morning with the temperatures in the teens? I think not. This garden in Williamsburg is gorgeous. via

Everyone appears to be on their best behavior for this formal tea party. I love to peek into early childhood playtime through vintage photos. via
