Webster RIP

My dear Webster died yesterday on his own terms, at home.

I was with him right here at the end, in this very spot.

I called my local Mobile Vet earlier in the day to assist with his passing but Webster died before they arrived. They came and picked up his body for cremation and that was a big help. I considered burying him on the property but decided against doing it. That turned out to be a good thing because my favorite helper who would have helped me dig a grave was in Vermont picking up a new puppy as a companion for his 12-year-old Lab.

Webster was a huge part of my life since he "rescued" me at 9 weeks of age 14 years ago. We had a great life together and of course I miss him terribly. But it was time for him to go and it was a peaceful passing. Boo Hoo.

I know my readers will miss him too. 

Easter Egg Evolution

Friends dropped off an Easter Basket for me yesterday with candy and two dyed eggs. Yummy breakfast this morning and lunch too. I like my egg salad with only 3 ingredients: mayonnaise, salt and pepper.

I hope everyone had a wonderful Easter. I certainly did. I am just about to hop in bed to watch Madam Secretary and The Good Wife. xo

Beautiful Custom Bookcases

These floor to ceiling bookcases are absolutely gorgeous as are the antiquarian books within.

Walls of Green

I have reached the point in my gardening life where I can admire this hedge wall but not want it. I know my limitations.

Fabulous Bathroom with Shelving

This is delightful to look at isn't it? I guess you have to stand in the bathtub to arrange the towels on the shelves, right? I love the acorn shades on the sconces. via

Bathroom with Painted Floor

I love the brown and white diamonds on this painted floor in this cool bathroom, don't you? via

Coming Soon to A Location Near You

We had a dusting of snow overnight but sun and blue skies with white puffy clouds are overhead at lunch time. My daffodils are in the new bud stage. Can't wait. via

Vegetable Garden with Shed

This vegetable garden is beyond amazing and I love the Peter Rabbit sign. Found on Tumblr.

Young Goat Adopts Ducklings

A young goat kid has become ‘mum’ to a brood of ducklings who have no mum because they were hatched in an incubator at Pennywell Farm in Devon UK. Such a nice story!

Bedroom Office

I like it. A bedroom and home office all in one.

Conformist Cat

Cats can manage to get comfortable almost anywhere, can't they? This looks like a nice warm spot to sleep and bake.

Appreciate Things

I'll say yes to that!

Lazy Day Cat

This was what I did all day today, with reading and movie watching thrown in for good measure. It was just that kind of day and I thoroughly enjoyed it too. There is absolutely nothing to watch tonight on TV, no Downton, no The Good Wife. I hope I have something good on my DVR and I'm sure I must, otherwise I'll read. Rain tonight and tomorrow. Enjoy your Sunday night. xo via

Wonderful Dutch Door

Old Red Brick with Black Trim

I do love this townhouse with all the wooden architectural elements painted black or charcoal. Very nice. via

Almost Finished with My Taxes

Today's goal is to finish gathering all necessary paperwork for the accountant and get my life back. via

How nice. They had something very special. via
