The amazing skunk cabbage is getting huge and is on its way to covering the entire floor of the wetlands in my woods. I love it. It's almost time for me to jump in bed to watch TV. Have a great evening. xo

Mad about Plaid
I love this and the history behind it.
The Duke of Windsor’s Hermes Plaid Satchel.
A Christmas gift from Wallis Simpson, Duchess of Windsor, to her husband in 1941.
Nosegay of Violets from my Lawn
Every year I have these beautiful wild violets, growing profusely in my front lawn, as an excuse for putting off the first mowing. All of my neighbors have cut theirs had theirs cut twice already. Mine is hidden from view by a brick wall and I'm going to wait as long as I can before I crank up my push mower. Aren't they gorgeous? Today it's dark and rainy and I'm doing indoor chores. Have a great day. xo

Tabitha Loves to Eat Outside
Now that the weather is getting nicer, she likes for me to put her bowl outside so she can snack whenever she feels like it.
Enjoy your evening. There's nothing on TV tonight so I will watch some recorded programs. xo

Happy Birthday Audrey Hepburn
Today she would have been 85. I enjoyed reading this article about her early life. I honestly didn't know anything about her childhood or her parents. I made this illustrated quote several years ago around a stamp that honored her.

I've never seen roof shingles wrap over the gable end, have you? I love this sweet little hideaway. via

Now that's what I call a cherry pie.
Go to Adventures in Cooking for the recipe. There is a link for the printable version too. Many more droolingly delicious photos on the website. I can't wait for cherries to be in season. Have a great weekend.

My Trees are Budding
The trees in the woods are starting to look like an impressionist painting. Is there anything prettier than spring green? I think not!

Time to Tuck in Soon
This will be Webster pretty soon. He's out on the balcony in the pitch black dark looking for the fox. Every now and then he makes a soft "woof" to let me know he's still out there. The doors are wide open so he can come inside when he's ready for me to tuck him in. See you tomorrow morning. xo Sleep tight.
Historic Stevens Creek Farm
Photograph by Joel Sartore. Historic Stevens Creek Farm near Lincoln Nebraska. It's beautiful, isn't it? The sun finally came out at my house too and the rain is over. My windows are wide open and I'm hoping the furnace won't go on again!!! xo
