Where There's A Will, There's A Way
I hope you can find a friend to help you do the things you can't do by yourself this weekend. This photo made me smile and I hope it brightens your day as well. Have a great Saturday, Rosemary.

Friday Bluebird Fix
There is a lot of activity in all the holes of this birdhouse with bluebirds building nests in each compartment. I never knew they liked communal living but I guess I was wrong. I snapped this photo from my attic studio. The second pic was cropped from the first to show you the bird up close. I never get over the thrill of seeing such beautiful plumage. They really are the birds of happiness. I hope you have a happy day too.
UPDATE: I just added the third photo. Look closely and you'll see the female taking nest-building material into the hole. The male just hangs around looking beautiful or perches on top of the house acting as the lookout.
I currently use Adobe Photoshop Elements

I am sitting at my computer with my second cup of coffee and Webster is sitting at his window surveying his domain. This is what he sees. I focused my lens on his head for the first shot and on the view for the second shot. He's a lucky dog, isn't he? The birds are singing, the trees are budding, and everything is bright green. Happy Friday. Have a great day. Rosemary and Webster.

Inviting Bedroom All in White
I've been saving this bedroom for a goodnight post. Tonight is the night. My power was off for over 3 hours for no reason and it just came back on. Only three houses were affected so they didn't rush out. I finally called again and told them there was a downed wire that was spitting fire and they should come before it got much darker. They were here in 20 minutes. I was so annoyed.
This white bedroom with the white bed looks so cool and inviting. It's way too hot way too soon and I'm very grouchy. It is supposed to cool off nicely by Friday and I can't wait. See you in the morning...I hope I get up on the right side of the bed. Just kidding. I'm fine now. Sleep tight.

If I don't, who will? Boy, #542 is hard to do, isn't it? I'd love to have a piece of my mother's cold fried chicken and some potato salad for lunch about now. That would taste so good. I'll have to settle for some split pea soup I made yesterday using the leftover Easter ham. It was delicious.

Daffodils In My Window
The sun was streaming through my kitchen so nicely this morning backlighting my vase of daffodils. After cropping and adjusting a bit with Adobe Photoshop Elements
, this is what I got. Like it?
