And so do I. We'll see you tomorrow. Have a good evening. Sweet dreams.

Teleport Me to Broadway [England]
Broadway Tower, Worcestershire, England in the heart of the Cotswolds. I love the dark sky in the background and the sunny foreground with grazing sheep. Could anything be lovelier? via

A Great Story about Pet Adoption
His name is Tank. Get your hankies ready and read the story behind his adoption after many failed attempts. Continue reading here. Sniff, sniff, wiping tears away.
Tabitha Enjoying the Nice Weather
This flagstone at the end of the walk is one of Tabitha's favorite places to nap and bask in the sun. Her face is shaded so she can see me if I open the front door. She wants to come inside less and less now that spring is here. Both animals went back to bed this morning after breakfast because we have rain!!! I'm so glad I got my mowing and trimming done.

Bletchley Circle, Episode 2 Tonight
Don't forget to watch Episode 2 Tonight
I love this feminist murder mystery. I just learned there are only 3 episodes in the miniseries (sad face). I'm off to the bedroom to watch The Good Wife beforehand. Here is a good review of all the great television on Sunday nights. Enjoy.
The Carolina Wren
Nest and eggs of the Carolina Wren photograph by Brian Gordon Green, National Geographic

You will enjoy reading this article about a man who works for National Geographic who was converting his South Carolina backyard into a Wildlife Habitat but was unable to build a proper house to satisfy the nesting requirements of the Carolina wren. This tiny bird picked his brass mailbox instead. Read more.
An Afternoon Nap for Webster
He's been working outside with me and this nap was well deserved. The open bedroom window wasn't far from his nose and he could smell the newly mown grass as he slept. my iPhone photograph
True Love
Don't these two pups look comfy curled into a perfect heart in the back seat of a car? I went back to bed after the cat got me up this morning and I think I might live. I worked outside all day mowing, pulling vines out of trees, trying to tidy up my visual corridor without the aid of power tools, etc. I have rolled giant logs out of sight, rearranged the huge ones so the wild roses will eventually hide them and I have to say I have enjoyed doing some hard physical work. We are having a very dry April, the third driest on record. Rain is on the forecast for tomorrow so I'll work outside again today getting ready. I still need to mow the front. See you later. image

Dining Room Library in NYC
Suzanne Slesin’s library/dining room may be in New York City, but the light fixture, chairs and glass doors give the room an “English library atmosphere”. Combining the dining room, which tends to get little use, with a library is such a typical NYC trick, but one that would be useful anywhere. Books are always the best decoration! via
The weekend has begun. Have a good one!

The Bookcase
I love looking at the various things that end up on a bookcase. Old things like to be together, don't they? via
Incredible Landscape
This is really the most amazing photograph, isn't it? It illustrates so many different types of weather. I like the sunshine best. via

Painted Floor on a Deck
This is the first deck I've ever seen painted in a checkerboard pattern and I love it. I painted a kitchen floor in these colors at my last house and loved it too. Click here to see the one I painted.
