Portrait of a Flop-Eared Bunny

This little bunny is glad to be outside in the sunshine and so am I. I hope there is a patch of clover nearby for him to nibble. It's pretty nippy outside but will get warmer as the day progresses. Have a wonderful weekend, everyone. photo source

Santa Barbara Residence

Wouldn't it be fun to ride that trike into the house and back outside again in a big circle. It appears to be set up that way, doesn't it? I like this very inviting home designed by Noyes Architecture. via

Dream Screened Porch with Swing

Love the brick floor and the ceiling fan too. This one is in Palmetto Bluff, SC. Hansen Architects. via

Shaker Kitchen Cabinetry

If you love shaker style kitchen cabinetry, you will love the designs of a British bespoke firm called deVol. One of their showrooms is a 16th century listed water mill. Link not working for this photo that was found on Desire to Inspire. Sorry.

It has stopped raining and is starting to brighten up. Have a great weekend.

I Have Always Liked the Rain.

Cottage with Roses

We are having some much-needed rain at my cottage. The two days of warm weather earlier in the week were just a tease. It will be in the 40s all day. I need to catch up on indoor chores so I am happy for a wet, cloudy day with rain drops on my window panes. See you later. image source

Two Authentic Peeps

Peeking out from the coziest place in the world. The mother is beautiful, isn't she? via

Real Working Kitchen

Now this is a serious cook's kitchen. I love the use of an old workbench as a kitchen counter. No kitchen designer was involved either.

Hedgehog Portrait

Isn't this the best photo of a hedgehog you've ever seen? Click here to see it much larger. So cute.

Nice Art Wall

This is a very nicely displayed set of bookcases and artwork. I love black with gray and white. via

The Cat Pushed Me

"The cat didn't want to get her paws muddy so she walked on my back. See how clean she is? Honestly, I was just trying to help. I can't remember, did you put in the mud room before or after you got me? Want a kiss?"

Sail Away Wallpaper

As seen in a powder room that also serves as a dressing room near the pool. I'm not a sailor but I love nautical themes. my iPhone photo

Ducky Fireplace

I like the bird tiles surrounding this fireplace. My iPhone photo was taken on the fly at an open house yesterday. The original owners must have been birders. 

Spring Views thru My iPhone Lens

Today was a lovely day and I went to a realtor open house that had a fabulous view. Snapped with my iPhone.

When I got to the bottom of the steep hill where the house was located, I took a closer view of the barn with a blue roof. Spring has arrived in New Jersey!

One Person Porch

It's very sweet, isn't it, and the setting is wonderful. via

Jessica The Hippo -- She's A House Pet

Please promise me you will watch this heart warming video about a coffee-drinking hippo in South Africa named Jessica.

Click here to watch it on YouTube if it doesn't show up for you in my post. I always tuck in my animals at night but I honestly can't imagine tucking in a hippo. Her nighttime routine will definitely make you smile.

Woodchipped Garden Path

I simply must spread my pile of woodchips to keep down the weeds near my front entrance. This garden inside and outside the picket fence is fabulous, isn't it? via

Deck Decor

Have you started getting ready for outdoor living yet? I have worked on the deck floor of my balcony for the past three days and it's looking better. This one looks perfect, doesn't it? via

Mine will look better as the sun bleaches it daily. I still have to clean the furniture.

16th Century Book Wheel

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.
