Rain Drops On My Four Leaf Clover

There is a misty rain falling at my house. Thankfully it is not the white stuff. I was lucky yesterday that we had a nice enough day to hang a load of wash outside. I was shocked that everything was almost dry when I took it in. I put the towels on the radiators and hung the rest on my overhead laundry rack in the kitchen. Everything was put away before I went to bed. Sleeping on line-dried sheets is definitely one of the best things I do here at the cottage. I'm still using my first batch of homemade washing powder too and will never be without it. I think I'll make another batch today. It's quick and easy.

Have a Wonderful Wednesday. Rosemary

Coloring The Leaves

I wish I knew how to do this with my photo-editing software. It would probably be very time consuming, but fun. Mother Nature is pretty amazing when you think of it.

Black and White

Look at the eyes on the white cat.
The black cat appears to be nothing BUT eyes.

Old House Love

I'm not sure I'd have the nerve to leave the walls "as is" if this bathroom belonged to me. I do think it's interesting even though looks unfinished. I've scraped wallpaper off plaster walls and have been tempted to walk away too. Getting down to the bare bones of an old house is never easy. What would you do?

Create Yourself Endlessly

Thought for the day:

"To exist is to change, to change is to mature, to mature is to go on creating oneself endlessly."

Henri Bergson (1859-1941) -- French philosopher


I took this photo in the morning sun today.

March Is For Reading

In March read the books you've always meant to read.

What a good idea. The vintage image is a WPA (Work Projects Administration) poster circa 1940 to promote reading and library use for children and adults.

Antique Gardening Tools

Early gardening tools scanned from one or more of my antiquarian prints. Early 19th century, English.

I know all the gardeners out there are itching to begin using all the things in the garden shed. I'll be glad to trade them for my collection of snow shovels currently being overused. What about you?

I thing it's going to be a nice day. I can feel that Spring is in the air.

Brilliant Idea

If you can't hide it, flaunt it. Visible electric cords are my pet peeve. Sometimes there's nothing you can do except embrace them. Isn't this a cute idea? Made me smile.

Corrugated Art | Trash To Treasure

Corrugated art, is how the artist refers to it. Using entirely reclaimed corrugated boxes from his trash and neighborhood, Mark Langan transformed the everyday material into something other than its original intended purpose…aesthetically beautiful three-dimensional art. Armed only with a razor blade, a cutting edge, a mat and some non toxic glue, each artwork is created by layering sheets of corrugated into aesthetically pleasing patterns. The corrugated lends itself well to patterns. When viewed from different angles and lighting, each piece changes. Cardboard has never been more beautiful, has it?

Did March Come In Like A Lion Or A Lamb?

I'm almost afraid to say that at my house March definitely came in like a lamb. That means it will go out like a lion. Oh No...say it isn't so.
