Dog -- Waiting

If I ever went out on a boat and disappeared over the horizon, I'm quite sure I would return and find Webster patiently waiting for me too. via

Stay warm. We have really frigid conditions with wind coming my way. I've been running around wearing only a sweater and a vest lately. Time to put on a heavy coat! See you later. xo

Gorgeous Landscape with Sheep

It doesn't get much better than this, does it? A valley leading to the sea with sheep. The best! via

Fireplace flanked by Bookcases

This looks like the perfect cozy spot to sit and enjoy the fire or curl up with a good book, doesn't it? If a nap is called for, you're in the right place. via

Rustic Sliding Barn Door on Bathroom

I think this is pretty wonderful and I like that the overhead hardware is hidden. via

Lovely Kitchen Details

I like what I can see and want to see more, don't you? via

White Kitchen w/ White Antique Pottery Collection

Stunning. Show me more, please. Lovely creamware collection. via

Beautiful Pond at Friends' House

I am sure they will miss this view after they move. Photographed this week when I stopped by to get a contract signed. It's a shame the resident blue heron wasn't fishing then. 

Maggie Smith, Super Bowl Fan

Now I love her even more.

Sent to be by a friend.

Thanks, Corinne.

Snow on The Rooftop

Snow is very becoming on this early center-chimney colonial home, isn't it? via

I was able to get out of my driveway without the aid of a snowplow, so happy.

Melting Fast

For a brief moment I could see nothing but blue skies from my front door and nothing but gray skies in the back. I opened the balcony door and waited for the first patch of blue. Let the melting begin! The Ground Hog must be exercising his power, after all.

Ground Hog Error: Morning Snow

I could hardly believe my eyes when I woke up this morning to a really beautiful overnight snowfall. It's the heavy wet type variety too, unlike the powdery one we had earlier this week. Yesterday late, I completed the task of shoveling the snow with embedded gravel back into my driveway so I wouldn't have to rake it out of the grass in the spring. I hope it will melt quickly when the sun comes out after lunch. This is Old Man Winter's way of snubbing the Ground Hog who predicted an early spring. He's saying, "Not on my watch!"

She really was "One of a Kind" Read a wonderful article here.

So many lovely things! Read more here. Let's go!

Tom of Downton Abbey

I'm so glad he left Boston and returned to Downton Abbey. Tom is such a great addition to the family and so is this lovely pup. via

Sliding Barn Door in Bathroom

Talk about a tight space! This sliding barn door is the perfect solution for privacy while soaking in the tub.  It must be covering a window, right? Otherwise you still couldn't get into the room. via

Little Dog in Training to Herd Sheep

Go wherever you want sheep. I'm not trained yet and I don't care. via

Wonderful Mountain View

The views from this mountain home are so beautiful. What a great place to sit and have Sunday morning coffee. Enjoy. xo via

DIY Leftover Yarn Winders

Isn't this a clever idea for your leftover embroidery floss and knitting yarn? I have way too many clip clothespins and this would be a good use for them.

Wonderful Small Townhouse

This elegant townhouse looks pretty amazing, doesn't it? Not too big, not too small, but just right. 

Upstairs Hallway Nook

I love everything about this little bookcase nook at the top of the stairs. via

Built-In Wood Stove

Goodness gracious alive, I've never seen such an interesting and beautiful wood stove with built-in instant hot water, have you? That should send out some serious heat and must require quite a chimney and it already has a fabulous hearth. I guess you can cook on it too. Wow. via
