I don't know if I could keep my desk neat enough for such a public location but I really like the way this looks. Have a great weekend, Rosemary.

Woman Builds $20,000 Dog House
What does a $20,000 dog house look like? A lot like a regular house, only smaller and with the scaled-down furniture lower to the ground.

Wisteria
I mowed my front and back lawns last night and did quite a lot of weeding. I didn't finish until almost 8pm. It was a really good workout and everything looks so nice this morning. My wisteria is starting to bloom too. Mine doesn't touch the house like the beautiful mature vine in the image above. It's so nice in the spring and very fragrant too. One must be very careful that it doesn't take over like it did at Grey Gardens.Click orange square to subscribe via feed reader or email.
It's A Beautiful Country Morning
It's a beautiful country morning here at the cottage. I can smell my new-mown grass through the open window. My push mower started with the first pull of the string late yesterday after being in the garage all winter. I was so happy. I'll be back later. Have a great Friday, Rosemary.Click orange square to subscribe via feed reader or email.

Repurposed Vintage Refrigerator
I love the way the old refurbished refrigerator looks in this cabin, don't you? It's a very sophisticated mix of old and new.

Quaker Oatmeal Raisin Cookie Recipe
I've been looking for the original recipe for these cookies for such a long time and finally found it. It used to be printed on the box and hasn't been there for years. These are the best cookies ever. You can add chocolate chips instead of raisins and nuts too if you wish. I'm making these today exactly like the recipe shown below. These were a huge part of my childhood since all the ingredients were always in the pantry. They were mother-approved snacks for my brother and me.

Winding The Yarn With A Helper
I love the antiques in all of Jessie Wilcox Smith's illustrations. These two young girls sitting on early ladderback chairs are concentrating with all their might because when your hands are small tasks like this are very hard. I hope you can find a willing friend to help you with your work today. This is another wonderful illustration that is new to me. How do you wind your yarn?Click orange square to subscribe via feed reader or email.
