Fall Foliage In Back of My Cottage
As you can see, the trees are still mostly green. The field grass has also recovered from the lack of rain over the summer. From my front windows I can see more color in the sugar maples diagonally across the street. Gas prices are very low too and that pleases me since I've been driving much more than usual showing houses. Enjoy this beautiful day. xo

Woody The Trailer - Cool DIY Project
A young couple on the move built a small home that will go wherever life takes them. They designed this beauty and built it themselves on a very tight budget. It's amazing!
I love reading inspiring stories about smart young couples who beat the system with a very unique home on wheels now permanently parked. Read more here with more photos too. xo

My Cottage Garden Weeded
I am going to spread some more wood chips today. I have almost depleted my pile that has been sitting and simmering for about three years. They have decomposed enough that they have a rich brown color, almost like topsoil without the expense. The peonies have been chopped down to the ground and the boxwood have been trimmed with my "new" electric hedge clippers scored at the Firehouse Sale several weeks ago. I like putting gardens to sleep in preparation for the winter. Fall is such a great time to be outside. Have a great Columbus Day. xo

Sussex UK Farmhouse Garden
I worked on my front garden for about 5 hours today and it looks loved again. Not like this one though.What is it about England? I've never seen a weed patch there, have you? Have a great Columbus Day Weekend. xo photo source

Wonderful Outdoor Fireplace
I love the vines covering the cast stone. I see palm trees so this is in a tropical location which probably ensures year-round outdoor life. Hopefully, there is a pool near this beautiful fireplace which is perfect for warming up after a swim. So nice! via

Beautiful Fall Day
There are many more acorns this year than last. I hope that's a sign. Hoping for plenty of nice winter weather instead of plenty of snow.

Ancestors, Antiques, and Architecture
Wonderful double-hung windows too. I wish I could see them with the triple set of inside shutters closed. So many wonderful things to feast your eyes on in one photo! via

Almost One Year Ago
This photo of my property is three weeks shy of being one year old. It's a very gray and wet Saturday here at my cottage and Webster is in a food coma after kibble and oatmeal. Thankfully, Joaquin isn't going to be terrible in my area, just rain and wind. I have been very busy with real estate and finally have a strong contract on the old house in town. I'm happy to report it will be loved again after being vacant for over a decade. The house was holding out for a family and it won! Yay. Have a safe weekend and I hope you don't lose power and the storm isn't bad in your area either. See you later. xo

A Wonderful Children's Room
I had an opportunity to climb up some stairs like this recently and they were fun. I love the clever under the stairs cubbys for books and toys and even a desk. The loft is amazing and I hope it's a favorite spot for these fortunate children. Love it all.
So far, all we have is rain. Have a great safe weekend. xo

Prince Charles Sees A Big Bird
Charles and Camilla don't think much of our American Eagle, do they? This made me smile. The original caption was "How Europe sees America." via

My Newly Weeded Gardening Spot
I took this photo this morning. My grass is in dire need of reseeding, but that's a task for another day. I'm anxious to plant something in this bed that was nothing but giant Canadian Thistle a few days ago. We are supposed to have rain coming up from the south for 4 straight days and we really need it. See you later - I'm off to an office meeting and then must deal with some real estate paperwork.
